The two joke about it now, but there were a few false starts when it came to the proposal. “Pavit had successfully tricked me into thinking he was going to propose more than once,” she admits. “When he took me to the beautiful Greek island of Santorini and arranged a romantic dinner for two on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean, I remember thinking, This has to be it!” she says. “But it didn’t happen. Later, he planned a trip to Bermuda and invited my parents. I thought surely if he’s inviting my parents on vacation, he has to be proposing—but no, it never happened. It was simply to divert my attention while he shopped for the perfect ring.”
