Proposing in Budapest with George’s assistance

Private chauffeur George in Budapest

Two years had passed since I first met Marija in Budapest. Our chance meeting at the Boscolo Budapest Hotel blossomed into a romance that saw her move to Barcelona to be with me. Now, I had a surprise plan to revisit the city where it all began. 

I booked flights and a suite at the Boscolo for our nostalgic return. To add a special touch, I arranged for a chauffeur, George, to pick us up in a luxurious Mercedes S Class. Before our arrival, I called him to prepare the car with a jasmine conditioner, Marija’s favourite. Her face lit up with delight as we entered the scented vehicle.

George drove us to the hotel and waited while we checked in and refreshed ourselves. Then, we embarked on our private tour of Budapest, holding hands as we admired the city from the comfort of the back seat. We marvelled at landmarks like the Parliament Building, Andrássy Avenue, and St. Stephen’s Basilica. 

For lunch, George had booked a table for us at Caviar & Bull, where we enjoyed a delicious meal. Afterwards, he took us to Buda Castle and then to Fisherman’s Bastion. The views of the Danube and the city were breathtaking, setting the perfect scene for my surprise. 

Earlier, I had entrusted George with a mission: to collect an engagement ring I had ordered from Baraka Diamond jewellery. As we arrived at Fisherman’s Bastion, he discreetly handed me the ring. With the stunning vista before us, I proposed to Marija, and my heart soared when she said, “Yes, I do.” 

Our weekend in Budapest was unforgettable. As George dropped us off at the airport, I thanked him for his support in making our return so magical. This trip had been, after all, not just a journey back to Budapest, but a new beginning for Marija and me.
