The Proposal
(written by Harley)
INVERNESS, Scotland. 24-05-1008. 4:30. In the Mouth of the River Ness. That is the meaning of this lovely and nice city along the river. As we arrived to the Bed and Breakfast inn, I told ga to look for a fine dining restaurant with a good view of the river to celebrate our monthsary right after we explore the city. I brought with me my birthday gift to her which she had been longing to have, an LV handbag. To make it more extra special, I gift wrapped it myself. :) So after a short stroll and searching of a restaurant with that kind of romantic atmosphere, we found ourselves one overlooking the river. They claimed that the restaurant has garnered prestigious awards, we cannot argue with that for the service and the food were just simply fantastic.
After a sumptuous meal, I finally handed over my super delayed birthday gift to her. The funny thing was, she kept on smiling all the time. :p So she opened the gift delightedly. So delighted that she wanted to use it right there and then. As she opened the bag to put her things, she noticed a small box that I had placed inside. Puzzled, she asked me what was inside, I smiled and told her to open it. She was absolutely surprised when she saw what's inside, a pair of diamond rings.
I then looked at her, held her hand and popped the question that separates men from boys... and when she said 'yes', that gave me a huge relief, no, humongous relief. :)
Thank God, this gorgeous girl said, Yes!
We headed back to the inn... walked along the river banks, savoured each minute of that very special moment of ours, visualized our future and made plans.. It does sound corny but for us, it was a blissful moment.
Yep we both love movies, dark chocolates, travelling and exploring new things together to name a few. Next year, we know we are going to discover more things and explore more places but the greatest discovery we ever had? Each other.
