It was supposed to be typical night at a Sweet 16 party, everything changed when they saw each other. Each sitting at different tables, talking to friends and family, when their eyes locked. In that instant, it felt like time slowed down. There was a undeniable pull between them, and they couldn't stop staring at each other. She had never asked any person out to dance but this attraction between two people led her to get up and ask him to dance. They didn't say much at first , but soon enough, they were dancing, laughing, and talking like they had known one another forever. By the end of the evening, they realized it wasn't just another party, it was the beginning of something special, and that one glance and dance would lead him to the woman who would one day become his fiancé.
As they drove toward the park, she sat in the passenger seat, completely unaware of what was about to happen. Dressed in a stunning white pearl dress, she looked radiant, believing she was on her way to his cousin’s dinner. She sang softly to the music playing, her voice filling the car, oblivious to the change in their surroundings. When he pulled into the park’s parking lot, she glanced around in confusion. “Why are we stopping here?” she asked, but he only smiled, taking her hand and leading her down the path. The sky had begun to glow with hues of orange and pink as the sun dipped lower, casting a warm light over everything. As they walked, she finally noticed it—a large heart-shaped sign standing in the distance, illuminated with the words, “Will you marry me?” Her breath caught, and her eyes welled with tears as she turned to face him. He was already on one knee, holding out a ring, his expression filled with love and anticipation. For a moment, she was speechless, overwhelmed by emotion, before nodding quickly, the tears spilling down her cheeks. “Yes,” she finally whispered, her voice shaking. He slipped the ring onto her finger as the sunset cast a golden glow around them, sealing the moment forever.
