Congrats Oliver! How exciting! Hey, if you're going to Paris to celebrate the engagement - where are you going for the honeymoon? What could top Paris? Btw, looking at your itinerary, are you actually going to sleep at anytime? Whew!
Congratulations! Have fun!
Paris. How romantic!
Felicidades!
Congratulations! My fiance and I were engaged in Paris this past September--on the banks of the Seine. I don't know if you've been before, but if not a few tips. Bring very comfortable shoes. Know that the lines a St. Chapelle can be incredibly long owing to the fact that you must go through a metal detector. The same is true at the Louvre, and other museums. See what you can, but make time to relax and soak in all that unending beauty too!
Felicidades, broder. Nos vemos cuando regresan. Abrazos! (Sorry, I don't know any French)
