He planned for long to buy the ring. He eventually chose to let me know & bring me to get it coz it's a special ring that he wants me to wear for a looong looong time so it's important that I like it. There, I picked one with a small solitaire, of quite the same size as the one he gave me on Valentine's. But to my big surprise he bought the one with a much bigger diamond instead (which I had tried on & of coz loved it but didn't consider at all as thought we couldn't afford it). Truly I didn't expect myself to be the owner of such a pretty ring... at least not so soon. I was beaming with excitement & disbelief & my beloved knew I couldn't wait to put on that beautiful band!
So it was only a matter of time before he did it officially...
His plan of giving me the only bit of surprise with a bouquet together with the ring was backfired when I changed my next day's (Sat) schedule. To avoid a conflict from erupting due to his secretive actions & obviously disappointed expression, he had to tell me the truth. And the best part was he would not be collecting the flowers the following day as we wouldn't be in town but the order couldn't be cancelled... could only be postponed for the most 1 week! He was very upset & angry with himself for not being able to give me even a small surprise...Not only that, now I knew the whole "plan"...! I felt so sorry for him, but frankly I had expected him to buy me some flowers when offering me the ring. I was kinda relieved I didn't need to pretend I didn't know a thing. Ha!
To me, what matters most is the content. Now that the surprise
And hey, it's not easy for me too! Hee.. Having to behave as per normal while knowing it will happen within the week. Somehow I knew it's Thurs. That day during lunch, I asked my colleague how she would respond at that 'time-stopping' moment if she had already guessed it. Would she still pretend to be pleasantly surprised about the whole arrangement in order not to disappoint her boyfriend, or tell him she had actually expected it? Her answer was latter. For me, I couldn't decide. It's so difficult to put on an act... what if I looked fake?? It's worse right? But he's so poor thing. He has been wanting me to have the best of everything... including a traditional proposal. Tough decision to make huh...
True enough, all the excuses for bringing me to a restaurant went in line with my anticipation. It was funny... During the dinner he was a bit restless & I pretended I didn't notice, while expecting flowers be delivered to me. Finally! Towards the end of the dinner, I saw the waiter walked towards me with a bouquet! But.... only when he was close did I realise he's not a waiter, he's a courier man from my honey's company! Just then I discovered someone standing next to me video recording! The courier man handed him the extremely lovely bouquet & a ring box. While he acknowledged receipt on the consignment note & me still dumfounded, I realised that so-called courier man was my dear honey's boss!! Before I recovered from my shock, he was already on one of his knees with flowers & ring. And you know what went on next... :)
Behind the scene: He first told his colleagues about his plan of requesting for a set of their courierman uniform and asking his friend to dress as a despatch. His colleagues got so excited for him that his director & a colleague volunteered to the roles! So now, the whole department knows about it & seen the video clip & we are famous!! Haha!
So he outsmarted me... and I'm real glad he did! Indeed I'm very very touched by all the efforts & troubles he had to go through to make it such a romantic & unique proposal!
Thank you, honey!!
