It’s been said that nothing compares to spending a special day with the one you love the most. A baecation, which encompasses everything from strolls on sandy beaches and romantic lunches to joking around and simply enjoying each other’s company, is the perfect reason to go on an escape. As Olympic champion Simone Biles and her NFL quarterback fiancé, Jonathan Owens, took off on a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos to celebrate her 25th birthday, we couldn’t help but be happy for them.

It so happened that Jonathan proposed to Simone on Valentine’s Day. The NFL player wrote his future fiancée the sweetest letter and included several pictures from their vacation, even as they were enjoying the ecstasy of their love.

“I would like to wish my lovely fiancée a very happy birthday!” he added. “Where better to introduce it than in paradise? We were meant to be together, and I look forward to creating countless memories with you throughout this life journey. Everything occurs for a reason. We’re just getting started, so here’s to your greatest birthday to date! There will be more shocks to come. Baby, I love you more than you can ever know.
