A Different Proposal

We planned our wedding last August and started to booked suppliers without having a formal proposal. I figured out that this "wedding preps" would only happen once in a lifetime and it would be unfair not to give a formal proposal. Fast forward...

We went to Megamall to attend a bridal fair last October 9, 2009. We roam around at the booths and can't find anything we want to book. I told Rochelle I just go to the restroom. Little did she know that my intention is to get the engagement ring that I have reserved in Matus. When I went back to the fair, she saw the paper bag that I am holding and asked how did I managed to have that bag from Matus. (Hint?) Trying my best not to spill the moment and wanted to have an element of surprise, I just told her they gave away paper bags maybe for promotions. (Whew!)

After Megamall, we went to Robinsons. By the way, I just planned to do the proposal as simple as possible and maybe over a cup of coffee so I asked her to stay in Starbucks but she opted to go to Frenchbaker. Anyway, she went to the restroom after we secure a seat in Frenchbaker. She left her handbag in the table and I realized to put the ring inside her bag and hoping she would find it later on...but as soon as she went back, she did checked her bag and saw a small box with totally clueless reaction, she asked me, "babe, what's this?" I told her to open it. She opened it and I whispered, "will you marry me?" She said "YES" of course with a big smile in her face.
