I asked my best friend to marry me at Crater Lake. I’d planned everything: sunrise, her favorite spot, a photographer hidden in a tree. The photos are beautiful—us laughing, her shocked, the lake impossibly blue. But what you don’t see: my hands shaking so badly I almost dropped the ring. How I kept thinking, what if she says no? What if this place I love most becomes a memory I can’t stand? She said yes. We hugged until my heart slowed down. I keep looking at those photos, half in awe, half in disbelief that something so good could actually be mine. #Travel #TravelConfessions #CraterLakeMoments
