Here’s the proposal story from the lady that you guys have been waiting for! Nothing fancy but a sweet and blissful proposal.
The girl got the key to the hotel room, opened the door and started giggling when she saw a bunch of roses sitting on the table.
Me: “Why are there flowers?”
Him: “Eh, you didn’t know the hotels gave every room a bouquet of flowers in Disney Resort?”
Me: (still giggling. freaking. this. is. it.)
Him: “Baby, will you marry me?
Me: (giggling and grinning widely)
Him: (on one knee) “Baby, will you marry me? Cause I spent a lot on your ring and we’ve already bought a HDB.” (He meant this as a joke.)
Me: (I almost fainted from heart attack) This is your line? You didn’t prepare your lines! (Still giggling)
Him: “I am willing to be your frog forever and ever.” (HAHA. Remember the “private joke” about the frog?)
Me: (still giggling) But frog does nothing but croaks.
Him: (slipped the ring into my forth finger on my left hand)
That was it.
HAHA. Thinking back. I’ve not exactly said “I DO”. After THE Proposal, we just went into a photo-taking-craze!
We re-enacted the proposal scene (actually I remember I was standing).
We took more pictures.
Ok. I think you kind of get the feel of our photo-taking craze. It’s probably one of the rare SbR entries with numerous pictures of me. YIKES.
Here’s an introduction to the lovely “props” that made the proposal different! HAH.
Flower
He is not exactly a flower person. But I love flower. I love receiving them. I love giving them. I love looking at them. I’m going to buy a bunch of flowers every week when I get my own place!
He always wanted to get simple flower bouquets with “long-stem” arrangements but whenever he asked the florist in Singapore, they gave him a “you trying to be funny ah boy” look. This bunch of flowers is precious to me. They are the biggest bunch he has ever given to me and he went through many email chains and days trying to communicate his preference to the Non-English speaking hotel representative. He almost died.
Silhouette
I love this silhouette so much I wanted to get it when I first saw it. But it is crazy expensive. He thought it was stupid. Paying so much for a black picture which doesn’t even resembles us. I kept looking at it longingly and he caved in. Hee. Happiness!
Frog
I saw this frog at a store and it reminded me of him. It’s super cute and I just had to get it. I gave this to him at Disneyland (before the proposal) to thank him for organizing such a wonderful holiday which was truly enjoyable!
Rock
Yes. I am finally talking about the rock (With pictures from various angles too!).
Side View. I love the arch that holds the rock.
I love the setting. It’s perfect. I always wanted a ring with diamond encrusted at the sides. Solitaire is not exactly my thing. I love LOVE LOVE this. It’s classy, elegant and simply breathtaking. HAHA. Ok. I am bias and am exaggerating it a little. The ring is neither from Tiffany nor Cartier but it is perfect, at least to me. He handpicked the rock and got a private jeweler to set it. Inside the ring, he engraved the date of our anniversary – 14 October 2005.
Top View. I need some hand cream. GASPS.
More technical characteristics about the much hyped about rock.
Carat: .55
Colour: E
Cut: Perfect Cut. Triple Excellent.
Clarity: VSII
Regardless of the characteristics, this rock is perfect.
P.S. SbR is going to take a break from blogging after this entry. My computer overworked. I can smell something burning!! HAHA. Entries about Disney Sea, Hakone, “All that we Ate” and my Shopping Log will be posted at a later date. Till then, I’m going to the gym tomorrow and I’ve got a flaunting session on Thursday and Friday. HAH. Stay tuned!
