Out Of The Blue…

I knew that my finance was going to propose sooner or later, but I had no idea he was planning this!

We were out for a walk down to the seaside. It was a beautiful day, clear skies, balmy breeze. Sometimes we rented kayaks, just to poke around the various bays and beaches in the area.

On this particular day, we decided to rent a double-kayak, one that we could both sit in. We got in and paddled around, lost track of the time and the tides and soon found ourselves on a little beach island pretty late in the afternoon.

We paddled up to shore and got out, and went along a little trail into the brush. He was behind me and suddenly he yelped. I turned around, and saw him down on his knee on the path behind me. He was proposing!

I was so surprised, all I could do was stare until I really realized what he was doing. Then I heard a great cheer. My soon-to-be-husband had planned it all along and had invited a dozen of our friends to the island to celebrate!

We spent the rest of the evening in paradise – the perfect warm weather, best friends, champagne, appetizers and cake, which led to the next decade of absolute love my husband and I share together.

A Special Letter…

Nick loved Rita but was not sure if Vice versa was true. Nick was poor, broke and ok looking. Rita was rich, beautiful and had hundreds of suitors swooning for her.

It still puzzled Nick why she went about with him. Anyways with the no. of suitors rising he thought he had to take the ultimate step- to propose Rita.

But as they say, it is easier said then done.He tried telling her in the coffee shop, but couldn’t bring himself up to say that even after 2 coffees. Sensing that he wouldn’t be able to afford any more, he postponed his plans.

Next he decided to take his chance while they were having a walk in the park. But Rita’s mood was so bad that he decided any question he asked might be answered in the negative.

He thought of posting a letter, but that does not impress anyone……

How, how how, he thought wildly and suddenly came up with a novel idea…

He was sitting on a desk writing a letter, while Rita was getting dressed. “Are you going to get ready, or we will miss Greg’s birthday”. Nick answered ” I am in no mood to go, I have a letter to finish.. you better go alone”

This made things interesting for Rita. This was no office letter for Nick was using a fragrant pink ink pen and a fancy letter… She decided to get to the bottom of things.

When she returned from the party, her mind was rife with suspicion about affair of her boyfriend Nick. Luckily, he was asleep and the letter that he was writing was in the desk.

Rita took the letter and started reading it…

Dear Rita,

I love you and have loved you whole of my life
will you marry me?

Rita couldn’t control her tears.
