Happiest Day in my life

The day had come. I had kept it a secret from her for about a month and it was the most difficult secret to keep because I was so eager to settle down with her, but I had to wait till October 1st. She is the one whom I wanna spend the rest of my life with. My dream girl agreed to be my girlfriend/partner earlier on this year in January, and now she is my wife to be. 


I started preparing the proposal about a month back in September. The most important of all is the ring which gave me a big headache because she didn't want a regular ring which every girl has. She wanted something special. In her words," I want a ring that when I take the few rings from a few girls and mix it up together, I can identify mine within a snap of the finger." And with that wonderful guidance of hers, I thought long and hard about it. I wanted something that is classic so that the look can last. I went surfing around for design and found something at Tiffany website which is very classy. I went to the jeweler and told him what I wanted. He said I was taking a big risk because only Indians and elderly people like gold. But screw it, I trusted my taste and instincts and went for the design I wanted. 


When Ling was away in camp, I took the opportunity to recce Sentosa with one of my pals Yeh Yang. We headed to IKEA to buy the candles we required. And the plan is best described in the email I sent out:

Venue: Palawan Beach at Sentosa (Nearest car park Palawan car park)

Time for you guys to meet up: 31 September (friday) 2200

Time I wil reach Sentosa: 2315

Time I will propose: 1 October (Saturday) 0001

Items required:

1. 600 tealight candles (with Yeh Yang), Sparklers (I will pass to Yeh Yang).
2. 5 Lighters (Those gun looking kind that is used to light stove, don't buy the cigarette lighter, easier for all of you to light) (Yeh Yang can you help me buy? Make sure it lights flames and not spark. I think some gives out spark)
3. Polariod (I will pass to Yeh Yang my Polaroids).
4. At 2215, you guys can start arranging the tealights in the shape "MARRY ME". The sparklers hopefully can be used to form a question mark by bending and joining a few sparklers. 

At 2300, I will reach Sentosa Palawan Beach.

At 2340, you guys can start lighting up the candles, the sparklers will be lited up last at around 0005. I will be facing the sea and will turn towards the beach about 0000 which I will be at the southern most point tower level 3 viewing the words "Marry me?"

At 2355, Hopefully one of you can be at level 2 and head up to level 3 around 0000 to snap a few polariod of me proposing.

At 0000, I will play a short video clip and I will propose after the video clip.


I must say my friends had done an excellent job. Kudos to them!

MARRY

ME

MARRY ME ?

I was very nervous when I actually asked her to be my wife. I knew I would be nervous so I prepared a speech so that I could at least read it out to her. But at that moment, I was totally dumbfounded. The only sentences which came out was, "Baby your gift", "You see", "Will you marry me?" and "You haven't answered my question." I was never so nervous in my life before, not even in exams. I understood what had happened, I was overwhelmed with happiness that there is a possibility that she is going to be my life partner. The one whom I will share my joy, laughter and sadness for the rest of my life.

I will leave the next post for her to comment on her feelings.... haha =P
