Our Story
Tamer and I saw each other for the first time at one of his friends birthday parties. I saw him and was hooked, I think it was those eyes that drew me in. I had to find out who that handsome and mysterious man was. Then he opened his mouth. I remember like it was yesterday the first thing he said to me was "I liked watching you dance" all I could do was smile. Did he really say that? I actually thought it was kind of cute and thought he was trying to be funny but couldn't think of anything else to say to me. We didn't say anything else to each other that night. What was I going to say after that? But there was something sweet and charming about him that I wanted to get to know. I asked my girlfriend to tell me more about him and she couldn't have said better things about him. She told me he would probably be at his friends birthday/Halloween party that we were invited to in a few weeks and that we should go if I wanted to see him again.
So of course we went and we ran in to each other when I first got there, he was dressed as Borat and interviewed me, too funny. The night did not really turn out how I expected. He didn't talk to me until the night was almost over (He was too busy dancing), but after my girlfriend called him over and formally introduced us that was it. He asked me to dance and we danced until the club was ready to close. He asked for my phone number, we went out for our first date later that week and we've been together ever since.
THE PROPOSAL
After three years of dating and very hectic work and school schedules Tamer took me on our first vacation. Neither of us had been on a cruise before and decided it would be a fun experience to share together. On the second to last night of the cruise he took me up to the top deck of the ship late at night. We sat on the lounge chairs and talked as we listened to the waves crash and enjoyed the beautiful night. T was saying so many nice things and being super romantic. I thought oh my gosh he is going to propose and that's why he brought me up here. I got butterflies in my stomach and felt everything stop. It couldn't have been a more perfect moment for him to do it. He looked at me, I thought here it comes and then he said "baby you wanna go back to the Casino, there isn't anything really going up here". I couldn't believe it I was so disappointed. I felt like a kid in a toy store that gets all excited thinking her parents are going to buy her something and they don't. Well as you can imagine any suspicions I had that he might propose during the trip were gone after that!!! Little did I know what that sneaky guy had planned and this was part of his plan.
The last night on the cruise he insisted we get all dressed up for pictures. He said he wanted great pictures from our first vacation together.We began the photography session and after a few different poses and shots, the photographer asked us face one another. He told Tamer to sit and asked me to kneel down. I thought it was a little weird but I figured the photographer knew better than I did about poses. It wasn't until the photographer told Tamer to take whatever was in his pocket out, because it was coming through in the picture that I looked over and saw Tamer pull out the ring. He told me that what we had was so special it should last forever. He said "Baby you're the love of my life, I couldn't imagine my life with out you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you" "Will you do me the honor of being my wife". I was so surprised, happy and overcome with so many emotions I couldn't talk. All I could do was shake my head. It's funny because there were a bunch of people around us waiting for their turn with the photographer now also waiting for my answer. I looked back and saw all these people around us clapping or trying to get a glimpse. I even heard one ask "What did she say?" "Did she say yes?" Well as you all know I did say yes, and we couldn't be happier.
