and she said yes...

On the 24th of December, 2008, at about 9pm that night, I'd made my proposal to rachel, to ask for her hand in marriage.

Despite the lack of fancy hotel reservation, nor a posh restaurant dinner, we had a simple lunch we'd made ourselves at home. And kudos to her patience for the past few weeks of waiting. I'd insisted to not reveal the "surprise" I had for her, all this while keeping her guessing. My clues were vague, but hints were a handful.

Dear, my MSN nick at work had for the past weeks been stating "you rearm my will", which... is in fact an anagram of "will you marry me" although I'm not expecting you to decipher it as I don't think anyone would be able to in a million years. LOL!

I'd made a mistake when I told her I was getting her some medication from the pharmacy near my home when in fact it was clearly stated on the box that it was purchased from Parkway Parade.

The namecard of the sales guy was left in my wallet, but you (fortunately) did not notice it when you were taking money out to pay for our takeaways.

I'd lied to you about having lunch with my parents while I was on leave. Clarence was at Parkway Parade on 2 occasions. First time to window-shop, and second to decide on making a purchase. Shan helped with some advice too.

xD

I hope to refer back to this blog post in years to come, while we joke about this memorable day. Now I just need to phrase it nicely to my parents...
