Our love story

First date

Our first date was more on the romantic side, I remember it was during the week. Everything was such a rush, as it was after work. I remember when I got to Montess's house I still had to wait for before we had left, as nervous as I was, I managed to keep calm and went with the flow. I was speechless the moment I seen her as we both decided that we were going to dress up. With our first encounter she took my breath away, she had on a pink little dress with heels, while I had on a formal pants and shirt, we were not matching but we both played the part. I remember seeing the most beautiful lady and yes, she was by my side. At that very moment I knew that I found love. We went to some African restaurant in Melrose arch, needless to say we learnt about what we liked and did not like when it comes to food. We were both shy, but we ended up enjoying this beautiful moment we would like to call our first date. Neither one of us knew that this day would be the day that connects us forever. Now I can say, “When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew”.

Engagement

This was a weird day, she woke up being upset with me for a reason unknown, but as I recall she always told me that if ever I am to ask her to marry me, it will be my responsibility to make sure her nails are done. it was a surprise, and I tried my level best to hide it from her and I think I managed quite well. The day went by and eventually it was time to get done. I mentioned to her in the morning that I had a surprise for, little did she know I was going to ask her to spend the rest of her life with me. I was so nervous as I wanted everything to be perfect and of course I wanted a positive response. We went to a restaurant in Monte Casino called Kream. I remember I had to hide the ring and everything that would give her a clue away. When we came to the place, I blind folded her, as we were walking, I forgot where the place was, and I started to get nervous because I almost gave it away. Then when we got to the place, I signaled to start recording/capture this beautiful moment. I remember her being nervous as she was trying to feel or make out where we were as she was blindfolded. Eventually we got to our perfect spot where I went down on one knee to ask the love of my life to marry me. It was a very emotional moment for her, and she made me nervous as she took forever to say yes, eventually when she did my evening turned into a moment that I wanted to last forever. Everything was beautiful and I would not change it for the world.
