The Most Romantic Proposal
by yee on Mar.03, 2010, under big big world
Mary has been going out with Tom since they were in college, and it has already been five years now. Whenever her families and friends asked about when they were going to marry, Mary felt very embarrassed. She is no longer young and it's time for her to marry, most of her friend has been married except her. For many times she thought Tom was going to propose, she was just disappointed. She even gave him some hints on purpose for several times, but he never seemed to get it or he just pretended to not get it, on the contrary, Tom always told her it was not time for them to marry and he needed some time to get fully prepared. Maybe he was just making excuses. In the end, Mary had to give up even though she still wanted to get married very much.
Several days before Valentine's Day, Tom told Mary that they were going to watch a movie on February 13th. Another movie, every Valentine's Day they just go out to watch a movie. Mary felt disappointed it seemed that their life had already become a married couple's life, only that they did not have that piece of paper.
In the afternoon on February 13th, Mary received a parcel from Tom; it was a very beautiful evening dress and the movie ticket. Mary was glad, after all besides movie, he had sent her a Valentine's Day gift which he did not do before. They were agreed to meet in front gate of the cinema, however, when Mary got there Tom called her that he was delayed by something at work and told her to go into by her own. It was really an annoying thing, he was the one who invited her and he was late! Mary went in, when she got seated, the music My Heart Will Go On which she loved most was played and there were photos of two lovers on the big screen, it was she and Tom. What was happening? And where was Tom? Mary could not even think and talk! Just as that moment, Tom in formal suit and tie went in with red roses in his hands. Mary could not even breathe, because Tom went towards her, he kneed down, he gave Mary the roses and there it was a shiny diamond ring. He begged her to marry him! With tears full of her eyes, she nodded her head, smiles and whispered "Yes, I do" the words which she had practiced for many times.
It was the proposal she had longed for years and the perfect one she could ever think about!
