I said '๐'
Exactly a month ago, on this Friday...
I was being surprised by my family and the-boyfriend with a proposal.
"Huh, it's only one month?" As he jokingly text me this morning.
It has been a short but life changing time since. So last month, I said Yes! (or actually "OK")
I'm not sure if everyone has a dream proposal or an imaginary one.. I have to admit, I've dreamt about it several times before. But it always end in some weird situation and I wake up. But every dream usually has my family (at least 1 of them) in it...probably that's why I once shared that I'd love to be proposed in the presence of the important people in my life..
This lucky fella grabbed the opportunity during our first trip out as a family (him as the only guest). I never would have guessed a less-romantic guy like him would make such a bold and detail planning. Thanks to my spontaneous family, they agreed to what he planned and played "props"! The tough part was to hide and pretend to me for at least 2 months. (yep, it was planned that early before) Stories of other ideas that was for other occasions made me smile and felt really special too.
The day came very normal! I was excited and nervous (and exhausted from work) as it was a first traveling trip, I did worry about preferences or unhappy situations. but everything was pretty good I'd say. That morning's breakfast ended with dad saying.. "you really need to be patient with her.. very mafan ah she.." (I was alil fussy eating) HAHA. I never knew that sentence meant more than it sounded till later the day.
So we arrived at the Hotel at Genting. H was worried I'll see the cupcakes and props (among the luggages) and the bouquet at the lobby, he convinced me to have a stroll with him at the cool air outside of the lobby (as he needed to let-go-of-gas!) which I believed! Thou I did feel alil weird that my sisters gathered at the lobby and kept staring over at me standing by the area outside the hotel..
<cut short>
Was asked to go over to mom's room for a group photo and I was greeted by her in a pink tee-shirt (seeing a lot of pink tee shirt ppl at the back ground) My first reaction was to turn n flee! He was right behind me, fiddling with his hp and playing some music! (that's for the ambience btw) HAHAHA. they managed to drag me in as I kept going OMGNESS and laughing in nervous-ness at the sight of everyone and everything (ESP mom in a pink tee shirt).. Most of it was "I'm not dressed! All of you bluff me!!!"
He then went down on 1 knee (skipped the bouquet and cupcakes and some furry decor which I was trying to concentrate to see) .. and said " Auntie, will you Marry me?" (Embarrassed moment and messy moment of ring on cupcake and flower don't know hold where! and I don't know how to relpy! I asked "So what to say???" )
He laughed and said " It's my first time doing this too! " Then I showed a ๐ and he put the ring into my finger (more messy and funny moments) followed by a big hug and kiss. (first time smooching Infront of my family, I think I almost died)
<other funny stuff> My other words were "Did you ask for permission?" / "Are they paid to be your carelefare?".. my family answered in a noisy and grumpy manner to calm this nervous me.. it was hilarious.
I think I had a million butterflies in your tummy.. n my armpits sure did sweat.
But I was truly touched and very happy.
I think fuzzy feeling and surreal mood lasted for at least a week and thinking back now still makes me smile.
Yes, I am officially engaged.
