Having got through customs at the airport on our way to Cancun, Mexico I was relieved Linsey was not looking when Security decided to search through my hand luggage.

Linsey had no idea that I hid the Engagement Ring I bought her on a previous holiday in New York. Believe me, It was a challenge to hide the ring in our hotel safe without Linsey even suspecting.

We booked our excursions from Cancun for our two week stay and I decided that Chichen Itza would be a great place to pop the question. This tour was in our second week of the holiday so I was finding the build up nerve racking.

When we arrived at the Mayan ruins, we spent a couple of hours looking around and I was constantly thinking how and where. Eventually at the foot of the Kukulkan Pyramid I got down on one knee (ok it may have been two) and asked Linsey to marry me.

Heart beating a million times a second (seemed like a lifetime waiting for the answer) Linsey gave a big smile and said YES!

The trip to Chichen Itza was the thing I was looking forward to the most during our holiday to Mexico.

The day started with a 3 hour drive to the Mayan ruins, but it was worth the wait. Its a truly beautiful site, everyone should visit it at least once! We were given a guided tour, learned the history and then were given time to explore ourselves and take pictures.

We got back to the front of the largest pyramid and I noticed that Sean was on the ground rumaging in his bag, I asked what he was doing, then I saw the red box which I hadn't seen since we were in the diamond district in NYC! So, he was on two knees, and blurted out Linsey Harlick "will you marry me?" I said yes immediately! I was extremely happy and couldn't wait to take a self-portrait picture to remember the moment by. I spent the rest of our holiday staring at my ring finger and the beautiful ring, and planning the wedding in my head!

Sean was a bit naughty though, he didn't get my dad's permission!
