We met a little over a year ago. We definitely did not view ourselves as wanting to be in a relationship as we were working with each other. But the more we kept talking. Learning each other’s personalities, temperaments, etc., the more we truly started to fall for each other! The relationship blossomed into love quite fast. As we naturally and truly were in harmony with each other. We became inseparable. The love for each other grew rapidly! I quickly realized that she was the one I wanted to be with forever. So I planned quietly and in secret a trip for us to Athens, Greece. (Which was one of the places I found out she really wanted to go.) I got a beautiful Airbnb right in the heart of the city, overlooking from our window the Acropolis. I hand-made her a bouquet of flowers and roses, then put glitter on them. The reason for the flowers was a cover-up to propose to her. The way I proposed was by buying a rose that had a hidden proposal box inside of it with an LED light. And I placed it in the bouquet with all the other flowers and roses. I then told her we were going to go out. So she knew to get dressed up. But before we went out, I told her I wanted to do a photo shoot for her. The photo shoot was a decoy so this way I could be able to record the proposal eventually without her being suspicious lol. Then I surprised her with the bouquet, which she started to cry when she knew I put it all together to surprise her. I told her I wanted to take pictures of her with the bouquet! I first did that, then I took the rose out (with the hidden ring) and then said I wanted to take pictures of her with the rose. I then told her to give me the rose and turn around because I wanted to take a video a specific way. When I told her to turn back around, I was on one knee with the rose opened and the light shining on the beautiful ring, friendly diamonds put together. She was in complete shock and, of course, again she started to cry. I got emotional as well, and she said YES!
