#5 Sealed with love
Just thought i should draft it down before I forget how it felt then..
It was Day 2 of our Perth trip - 19 Nov 2018 - after a long day out, and we were syncing up our outfits for the photoshoot the following day, after a home-made diner - pasta, brussels sprouts and red wine i think. The truth is, I brought along a white bridesmaids-like dress which I bought a couple of weeks back online, seeing that it was really quite cheap. But, I was pretty hesistant about wearing it for our photoshoot. What if people get the wrong idea that it was in fact a pre-wed shoot I thought? Anyway this was supposed to be a much casual shoot, no?
Regardless, I tried on two outfits, the casual one first, and then put on my white dress anyways. The boyfriend did the same, having his jacket on as his other look. "Come, let's go over to the mirror and see if we look okay standing together, in our outfits," I said.
We stared at the mirror for a while, trying out some poses, when I felt his heart thumping so hard. He suddenly slided away to pick up his phone, to take a photo of our reflections I thought, just to make sure we look good on camera. He came over and shoved me his phone, playing a video abruptly.
"Huh, what's this?" I commented with my eyes still on the playing video. And then the thought struck me - Is he proposing now?!
And my guts was right. The video was a compilations of cycling shots he did when he was away from me for one of the longest time for his university exchange, lip-syncing to my favourite song or the song I casually mentioned that I wanted for my wedding march-in. Im not sure if it was coincidental or if he really remembered it, but what touched me was the final shot of us in Taiwan a few years ago and he mouthed the word "Will you marry me".
The fact that he has been preparing this moment since years ago is probably the reason why i teared up a little.
This whole engagement thing still feels surreal to me, but i guess the problem of wearing the white dress or not is no longer a concern.
Feeling incredibly blessed :)
