THE PROPOSAL
His side...
Her side...
It was Delisa's 27th birthday weekend and the plans had changed several times on what to do. Dinner was finally planned and a few friends and families were invited. At the end of dinner, I and Delisa stood up to thank our guests for coming. When it came to my turn to speak, I had so much to say I suppose, but one thing I made sure I did say and do that night was to go on one knee and ask Delisa Somoye to marry me. I still can't believe I was able to pull it off without her suspecting! Now everyday I wake up knowing I am the luckiest man in the world to be marrying my best friend.
SHE SAID YES!
So it was about to be my 27th birthday... and I usually celebrate my birthday every year, but I had been sick and just wasn't in the mood. I just wanted it to be me and him. Francis gently reminded me of my love for celebrating everyone else's birthday, so I agreed to have an intimate dinner with my close friends and family about 3 days beforehand. Little did I know what was in store. Per usual, everyone stood up and spoke, but when it was Francis' turn, he said he'd speak after he finished eating--which was fine, because it would round up the dinner. At the end, he started talking and was rambling, which wasn't strange (because he had been drinking). I thought I was going to give the final word, but next thing I knew, Francis was on one knee. I was in shock--especially because we joked about it earlier that day! Of course I said yes to the love of my life! I am overjoyed to be spending the rest of my life with him.
