Last December, in Paris.
Dan reached out weeks before. Not just for a morning session — for a plan. He wanted to propose to Kat somewhere that meant something, and he had an idea: recreate the itinerary of Before Sunset, one of their favorite films, without her ever suspecting a thing.
We mapped it out together. Shakespeare and Company first, then Quai de la Tournelle, Rue Eginhard and Le Pure Café, for a typical French breakfast.
He even used a prop copy of the movie’s book to hide a personal note and the ring. And there, in front of Shakespeare & Company, with Notre-Dame as a backdrop, he got down on one knee.
It would not have been a true Parisian session without the rain, and sure enough, we ended up soaking wet — but lighter, happy.
