I'm Engaged!

It’s official! As of today, July 4, I’m now 1 week and 2 days engaged to my long time beau. The feeling was unexplainable - if ever there’s such a word. I guess I had a bit of a hint during that night what will happen but immediately dismissed the idea. But our friends were acting weird. Even the waiter when he was about to serve my “food”. Who would serve a food with a super big grin on his face. My fiancé (he’ll correct me if I still use the term boyfriend), Nikos and Matt were having those weird conversation and I specifically remember Nikos asking Matt and Kenneth (my fiancé) if he can tell me.

But I would say that, that night was a success. Knowing him, I would never thought he’d propose to me that way.

I didn’t cry when he proposed but I was teary eyed. I got shy with all the flashes and camera clicks and the video being taken by Matt right in front of my face. haha! So obviously, I didn’t know how I should really react. I know that there were there but at that moment I can’t remember seeing their faces. I can hear their voices but I can’t seem to grasp what they were saying. All I know is that my heart was pounding and I had butterflies in my stomach. When I opened my “food” my initial reaction was Oh my Gosh in my head but since I got shy and all with all of the attention, what I blurted out was “ano ito” (what’s this) in a funny kind of way.

This was my facial expressions the whole night.

But I guess inside it was more of like this. LOL!:

That night was really unforgettable. So I guess, like what Nikos this is my last full year of using my surname. One year from now I’ll be Mrs. Haha!

Other than the people who have helped my fiancé plan the surprise proposal, I’d like to thank my parents for being accepting and in a way supportive for our wedding plans next year. God knows how nervous I was when I was about to tell them that I’m engaged. Thank you because I never heard a single negative feedback from you guys. I love you! You’re the best parents in the world!
