Our trip to Rio was memorable and filled with love on all fronts.  NYE in Leblon, Philosophy sesssions, poetry, and the most magical wedding we’ve ever attended. So how to celebrate Romey’s birthday?

With some misdirection and planning, that’s how.

The only person who may have had an inkling about what was to come might have been Noelie.  We bought the black diamonds together in London.

So dinner plans were made at the Hotel Santa Teresa (a place we are going to have to stay one day).  Dinner was excellent.

But what’s this Christmasy looking thing? A birthday gift?

Delivered with the lines, “I have a question first. Would you like to be a McGraw?”

Yes.

And with that, our trip to Rio reached perfection.
