OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! He proposed! Uche got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was blubbering like an idiot oh, tears everywhere. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve cried in front of him before. Embarrassing!!! Thank God there were no cameras to record it. I would have to hunt people down to delete the evidence. The proposal was beautiful!!! Considering I always said I didn’t want a public one, I am glad for once, he didn’t listen to me. He proposed to me at the airport, can you imagine? International airport for that matter. He is going to be out of the country for 6months and I miss him already but I digress. So I insisted on following him to the airport, we haven’t been apart this long since we were serving and I was reluctant to let him go. Usually he never lets me take him to the airport, always going on about how late it will be and how he doesn’t want me driving back alone at that hour. This time he gave in, and I was sure it was because of the length of time he was going to be away for.
We get to the airport and I waited for him to check-in, very close to tears. I couldn’t explain why I was so emotional, come to think of it. Maybe a part of me knew it was coming. He finished checking in and we start saying our goodbyes. He looks at me funny and I remember wondering why. Before I know what is happening, he’s on one knee. His exact words were
“Baby, you’ve been amazing since I met you. I don’t think I could have gotten this far without you and I know I don’t want to have to. Will you complete my life and marry me?”
I think I screamed sef. My heart was beating rapidly, there was a roaring in my ears and I felt faint. And through all that, I was crying and nodding and saying ‘yes’ and ‘I can’t believe it’ all at the same time. I vaguely remember people clapping but it sounded very far away. I’m crying again, it’s been coming and going since he left. Thank God for technology, if this was pen and paper, I wouldn’t be able to cry and write and then I’d forget some things. I’m pretty sure I’m rambling but who cares.
My ever sensible boyfriend fiancé tells me ‘your ring is waiting for you at home. Didn’t want anyone following you because of it. I get back in 6 months, if you’re okay with it, I would like to marry you as soon as I get back.’
I’m getting married!!!
I have 6 months to plan a wedding. Damn! Where do I start?
