It was forecast to be windy and rainy, and Lakshan and I spent the days leading up to the proposal coming up with backup plans and alternative locations.
But in the end, he decided it would be the beach — rain, hail or shine.
And sure enough, it rained. The wind was wild. I stood on the beach getting rained on and praying for it to clear up and texting updates. But as luck would have it, the rain stopped at exactly the right moment.
Somehow, Lakshan managed to convince Pahasara that their post lunch beach stroll should still go ahead.
The rain chased everyone else away, leaving the beach almost completely empty, and it ended up being a beautiful, intimate proposal with just the two of them on the beach.
Congratulations, Lakshan & Pahasara.
