After seven years of dating, I had pretty much gotten over the "ooh when is my wedding" blah-blah-blah phase.So on our seven year anniversary, (7th August) when we went out for dinner (as we usually do), I had no idea what was going to happen that night.
Gary took me to the Roma in Durban, one of my favourite restaurants to celebrate our seven years of dating. Little did I know that Gary was going to propose - I was none the wiser!!!
We have dinner and I have yet to realise that anything is about to happen. So just before we were ready to have desert Gary gets up (I thought he was going to the bathroom), comes over to me (Im wondering, what is going on here - still as clueless as ever), gets down on one knee (ok, Im getting the picture now, butterflies in my stomach and a smile longer than the nile river) and asks me to marry him. Shocked, happy and exited (all at the same time) I say yes and he shows me this most amazing ring and puts it on my finger.
Needless to say I could not stop smiling the whole night (actaully for days, no weeks, no months, no actually I'm still smiling). After we had both calmed down, Gary phoned my parents in Greece from his cellphone and aksed for my dads permission (awwww). My mom and dad were both head over heels. He then phoned his own parents, and even I could hear his mom screeming... it was certainly a night to remember.
