Reportar MensajeMark Sanford, the disgraced former South Carolina governor, is engaged to the Argentinian mistress who cost him his political career.
Sanford, 52, surprised journalist María Belén Chapur last week with a wedding proposal in Buenos Aires that left them both crying and promising to stay together forever.
The Republican politician was considered a rising star and a possible presidential contender until he disappeared for six days in 2009 and returned to reveal he had been meeting Miss Chapur in secret in Argentine.
However, a reporter caught him at the Atlanta airport leaving a flight from Buenos Aires and he shortly thereafter admitted the affair.
Sanford said he met Miss Chapur, a divorced mother of two, during a trade mission in 2001 in Uruguay, though their relationship didn't turn romantic until 2008.
Sanford reimbursed the state for one previous trip to Argentina that had been billed as a taxpayer funded trade mission.
He was censured by the state legislature, though he avoided impeachment and stayed in office until January 2011, when his term expired.
Argentinian news site Clarin reports that Sanford proposed at the Bella Italia Grill in the upscale Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
He arrived at the restaurant early and gave waiter the engagement ring in a bag and told him to make up a good story.
Sanford then hid in the bathroom and watched as the waiter told Miss Chapur she was the 100th customer of the day and had won a prize.
Sanford then emerged from hiding and surprised the Argentinian beauty. The pair gushed as they hugged and kissed and cried together in the restaurant. They promised to stay together forever, Clarin reports.
Sanford's soaring political career came to a screeching halt in 2009, when reports began questioning his disappearance for six days.
Aides claimed he was 'hiking the Appalachians' and was out of touch.

Una pesrona feliz y enamorada solo tiene ojos para su amor y nadie mas.
