the royal proposal

i'm not one of those lunatic fans of the monarch who just can't wait to see kate dressed in white; to see that receding hairlines of that once-upon-a-time-a-handsome-prince.. but as it's the talk of the town, i did waste some of my time googling and youtubing about the royal wedding. 

as my hubby's away and with my pregnancy hormone at its peak, i got carried away easily... way back when he proposed me. that would be seven and half year ago.. of course we've been going out way before that, and talked about getting married, having kids of our own and many more... but thinking back the seconds he proposed.. i could fly, over and over again.

it was my birthday. we've planned for our formal engagement event in two months time, so, i told him we need to go to the jeweller to get the ring for the event. i specifically told him that i wanted to be around when he bought the ring..so that i won't get upset if the ring he'd chosen without my go-ahead did not meet my expectation.. or at least, to my acceptable and affordable specification la kan. earlier that day, he brought me to the jewellery shop. he pointed me to a few design, and i showed him this particular ring that i would like to own. i thought he wanted to buy at that instance, but he did not. he said he'll come back for later.

we celebrated our birthday to a simple dinner and midnight movie. if i wasn't mistaken, we were watching this one korean horror movie that night. and as we walked to the car, i settled for the seat, and he opened the carboot. in a matter of second, he passed me a bday card.. hmm.. being him, i knew i couldn't expect much pun. i read the card, and once completed reading that long sweet bday wishes and how he told me in the card that he can't wait for us to be united, i looked up at him.. he was on bended-knee, at the carpark, with klcc view behind us, and he was with the ring, the ring that he said he would be later.. i was stunned. i don't remember him being away from me right after we went away from the jewellery shop.. there's no way he could bought it with me around!.. 

and here's how he explained..

him, with his shorts and slippers, went to klcc earlier. and his first destination was the tiffany's... and it's true when they said 'it's the thought that counts!'. he told me, the salesperson was very helpful. when she said 'how can i help you?'. he told her 'i'm looking for an engagement ring'.. and next, it was history.. he said, he learned about the cut, clarity and carat.. and the salesgirl, being professional told him (when he said his budget was half then what was the cheapest tiffany's could offer - and he even lied when he eyed the cheapest range they have!) "congratulation on your engagement, perhaps you would come again here for your tenth anniversary gift"... hint!hint! bang, the tenth anniversary is coming in next three years.. wink!wink!

then he went to habib.. he found one nice cute afforable ring.. he decided that would be the ring and he bought it. when he brought me to the shop later that evening, he just wanted to confirm that he was making the right choice, that suit my liking. it was lucky grab that i picked the one he already bought!

and again, looking at him on bended-knee, with the ring that i thought he hadn't bought yet, proposing, i felt like a princess.. it was beautiful!


aaaggghhhh... i want to get married again and again with that prince charming of mine !!!
