Nothing quite like celebrating a significant day with the person you love the most, so the saying goes. A romantic luncheon, walks on sandy beaches, jokes, and just spending time together are all part of a baecation, which is the ideal excuse to take a vacation. We couldn’t help but be pleased for Olympic champion Simone Biles and her NFL quarterback fiancé, Jonathan Owens, when they left on a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos to celebrate her 25th birthday.

It so happened that on Valentine’s Day, Jonathan proposed to Simone. Even though they were experiencing the thrill of their love, the NFL star sent the sweetest letter to his future fiancée and included several images from their vacation.

He said, “I want to wish my beautiful fiancée a very happy birthday!” “What better setting than paradise to introduce it? I look forward to making a ton of memories with you along this life path; we were meant to be together. Everything happens for a purpose. Here’s to your best birthday yet—we’re just getting started! There are still more surprises in store. I cherish you more than you will ever know, baby.
