Last year, my ex-boyfriend
did the biggest surprise of his life (ever yet). It was not just a surprise,
but more of a big decision he made for himself, for us.
All dressed up, he went
down on his knee, blurted out a short message and asked at the end of it,
“Love, will you marry me?”
(It
marked the end of that chapter. We are happily married now.)
To be
honest, I was not shocked that soon enough, less than two years after we officially started dating, he’d be asking me to marry him.
During courtship, he already made his intentions clear (plus pogi points!), that he never entered into the relationship just for the sake of having it; that he was dating me with marriage as the goal; that
he wanted to settle down, build a family with me one day. In the course of our
relationship, he'd also always drop hints that sooner or later, we would be
settling down.
So, what really took me by surprise when he proposed was how
he did it — NOT why he did it or “Oh, he’s doing it
now?!?” I hope you see the difference.
