As with most trips, the time went be way too quickly. Lucas and I had most definitely fallen in love with Buzios and had even flirted with the idea of going real estate shopping to get an idea of how much a house would cost us in the future if we were to move there.
For our final meal, we chose to dine at the highly recommended French restaurant Cigalon. What a great decision we made, because not only was the food superb (so good that we each had our own three courses), but it also had to be the most romantic restaurant I have ever dined in — making it the perfect place to celebrate our unforgettable four days in Buzios. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of the restaurant, however to imagine the gorgeous setting, picture: a lovely candle-lit terrace that has been built next to the sea and overlooks the boats moored for the night. Of course, the waves crashing against the rocks in the distance and the lady singing lovely French ballads inside the restaurant only added to the mystique.
I believe that most of my readers already know what happened next, especially since I announced it several months ago, but on our walk back to the pousada Lucas asked me to marry him. I will not go into specifics as to how he did it, since it was an incredibly private moment. I will say though that even though we have dated for five years and have talked extensivly about marriage, I was still surprised, and this girl LOVES surprises!
For you ladies who are wondering what my ring looks like, below are some photos. It was not given to me that night, as my man knows I am very selective when it comes to jewelry. We did later pick it out online together though. Never one to follow tradition, I opted to forgo a diamond for a cotton candy amethyst and pink sapphires set in rose gold. The wedding is currently being planned to take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina for this coming May. Updates will definitely be ongoing
While I was terribly sad to be leaving Buzios, I was eager to return to Rio de Janeiro, this time with my fiancé!

Wow, that ring is stunning!! Amethyst is my favorite (it’s also my birthstone), I love the pink little ones on the sides too.
It sounds like an amazing night, perfect in every way 🙂
besame mucho is one of my favorite songs! it was in great expectations. i used to listen to that soundtrack when studying. miss you and love you!
Congratulations on your next year marriage! 🙂
Besame mucho should be your first dance – can you guys rumba? I’ll teach you. 🙂
Congratulations! You must be so happy. And that ring is sooooo beautiful.
Congratulations!
Some places really do have amazing appeal, I think when they connect to our values and make us feel good.
That’s awesome! Congrats! Love ur ring!
that is a BEAUTIFUL RING. I am not a fan of the diamond rings, so that’s a cool alternative. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Andi and L.! Purple and pink go well together, even on a piece of jewelry! Lovely ring.

OMG The “Andi Ring” is to die for!
Is it just me or did no one else notice the fact that your ring matched BOTH YOUR EYES? lol great post babe! look forward to meeting you soon!
Word!
Woohoo! 🙂 Very many congratulations indeed.
However, I hope all those photos aren’t scaled the same way. Otherwise, that ring would fit right over your head. Glitzy and unique yes, but you won’t be able to walk far with it on.
Just thought I’d raise that as a practical point. You want me to go now? Oh, ok.
*goes*
I have tears in my eyes Adndi. No lie. You two are so beautiful!!!!
