Vinzi's Life: making it happen.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

I’ve always imagined that when I’d propose it would be something grand, that I have thought a lot of time with, a lot of preparation and man hours put into it but it didn’t happen in that way.

A few weeks ago I dreamt of the type of ring and stone I wanted as an engagement ring and later on that day I found a site that allowed me to purchase one that was worth way more than my current pay grade. It was a sign I thought and an opportunity I didn’t pass up.

Little did I know that customs taxes here would increase my expenses and yet, somehow was able to surpass the unexpected crisis.

Getting the engagement ring was a journey in itself and it brought affirmations of people that came and have gone in my life; what influences they have given and whether they still mattered or not and glimpses through their personal windows.

Yesterday morning I proposed, it wasn’t a well thought out plan and she knew I would when I came to her. I knew I lacked the preparation but I’d try and deliver the best speech whilst reading in between what I wrote as I tried to act cool and suave.

My hands shaking and my heart pounding in my chest I said these words:

“It's you, I felt it then when we started talking years ago but something led to another and I believe it had to happen for this, for US, to happen.

A year ago we found each other and everything fell into place, being with you felt right.

I believe we are meant for one another and if you will have me, marry me?”

And she said yes.

And... a flurry of kisses commenced :p
