Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez are hitting many milestones in one: they’re expecting their second child, due in April this year, and the couple are also set to wed after announcing their engagement in August 2017.
In honor of Richard’s birthday, Sarah took to Instagram to post footage of their dreamy Switzerland vacation with son Zion and her parents — including the actual moment Richard proposed to her!
As seen in the video, the moment could not have been any more picture-perfect: As they were getting ready to pose behind the snowy white backdrop of the majestic Matterhorn mountain, Richard got on one knee!
Posting a lengthy message on her blog, Sarah said of the proposal:
“Out of all the stories we’ve created together over the past few years, my favorite by far is when you proposed to me just because it was so unexpected. Our week in Zermatt consisted of skiing and teaching Zion how to ski. We were with my parents and my best friends. We had one day off the slopes, so we decided to hike around and look for that cool restaurant above the mountains called Iglu Dorf. We hung out there for a bit but the music was too hardcore metal for a beautiful morning in Zermatt, so we decided it was time to leave and just behind it was the beautiful, picturesque, and majestic Matterhorn, glittering from the sunshine and snow. We decided to bust out our cameras and take photos. I was wondering why you were taking a really long time setting up your tripod and camera… little did I know, you were about to propose.”
Happy birthday, my love. Thank you for being you. I love you with all my heart.”
