Michael & Teresa’s Birthday Surprise Proposal in Half Moon Bay
For his birthday, Michael told his girlfriend Teresa that he had made plans for brunch (but not really) at the Ritz-Carlton at Half Moon Bay. After a brief walk, the high school sweethearts reached a cliffside spot with a great view of the beach and ocean bluffs, but instead of Teresa giving Michael a gift for his birthday, he had one for her. He dropped to one knee and opened up a velvety purple box with a massive (I’m talking like grape-sized), sparkly, oval-cut diamond for Teresa, who, of course, responded with a yes!
The more we watch their video (probably 30 times now…), the more we love Teresa’s incredibly cute and endearing reaction. Take a look below!
