In November of 2025, on a still morning at Lake Kawaguchiko, with Mt Fuji out in full view and a small box in his pocket, Brendan asked Erika to marry him.
The trip had been a year in the planning. Neither of them said it out loud, but both had quietly marked this as the one, the trip where it would finally happen. Japan did not disappoint: clear skies, the best week, and Mt Fuji showing itself that very morning.
The couple got up early to catch the sunrise, heading to a lookout near their accommodation to watch the sun come up. Brendan was ready. He'd kept the ring hidden for months, despite Erika's very best snooping.
And it so nearly was just the two of them.
In the half-light before dawn, they had the lookout entirely to themselves. Then, as the sun came up, a local photographer arrived to capture the landscape, and Brendan quietly kicked himself for missing the perfect moment with the morning glow and no one else around.
As it turned out, the photographer was a blessing in disguise. Before leaving, they began taking photos of the two of them before anything had unfolded, and Brendan seized the moment, so the whole thing was caught on camera, start to finish.
With thanks to Yuji, who captured these beautiful photos.
