He told me we were going to his brother’s gig, so I rushed home from work in my usual clothes—totally unaware of what was coming. I completely missed the dresses he had thoughtfully laid out for me at our old house. When I walked into our new home—the one we’d spent months building together—I saw a trail of rose petals leading to the sitting room. There he was, waiting with the biggest smile and a ring. Right there, in the heart of the home we created, he asked me to marry him. After I said yes, he surprised me again—my whole family was waiting at his parents’ house to celebrate. It was the most perfect, meaningful surprise—just like him.
