My friends Mimi and Michael had been invited to a wedding in the fall of last year. As usual, Mimi was pregnant and was not up for any public event. She asked me to accompany Michael to the wedding. I was reluctant about going, however; after several days of persuading, and eventually threatening me, I agreed to go. At the wedding, I noticed that Frank had been looking at me. He eventually gathered up the courage to come up to me (I give him credit. I had my full blown RBF on) When he finally spoke, he said "Hi. My name is Frank. I'm very shy. Can I please sit down and talk to you?" He made me smile the very second we met; and if you know me, you know that's an achievement! And that's how our fairytale began...
I knew from the moment that I laid eyes on Suzy that I wanted to marry her. I decided to go about it the right way- Meet her father. After asking for her hand in marriage, we began planning a wedding. I knew that I still wanted to ask her officially to be my wife. With the help of her family and friends, we found ways to discourage her from thinking that I would do an official proposal. On the day of our engagement photoshoot, Suzy showed up looking as beautiful as ever. Our photographer, who was in on the secret managed to get her to look away from me, as if it was part of the photoshoot. I walked behind her and got down on one knee. Then, the photographer said "Suzy, now I want you to turn around slowly and smile." When she turned around, there I was on one knee. She was so surprised and confused at the same time. She began to laugh, and then it turned to tears. And then she said, "Maybe". Of course, her answer was "YES!"
