While browsing for technical education and career articles, my attention was diverted to a text message from Merryll. She was so happy because last night, Mark had proposed to her.

After a long wait and seven years of rewarding relationship, Mark decided he wants Merryll to be his partner for life. So I digged the story on how Mark proposed to her. I am always eager to hear marriage proposal stories especially if it’s a creative one.

After having their typical lovers’ quarrel, Mark went to our office to pick Merryll up and take her to a dinner at Vivere Sky Lounge (on the 31st floor,  rooftop) in Alabang Hotel. Mark handed a bouquet of flowers as a peace offering and Merryll smiled. She hadn’t suspected that something was up because they always go to different restaurants to try out new dishes. After a long ride to Alabang, they finally got to their seats which Mark had reserved. They were seated outside in a corner with the metropolis as the backdrop. It offers exquisite international entrees and there is good music while you’re dining. I think this really is a perfect place to propose or just have a date for your anniversary.

Mark was waiting for the right timing and waited for the nearby guests to leave before executing his plan. He asked Merryll if she wants to order some more and try out some desserts just to buy some time for the others to leave. Merryll said that her outfit is somewhat unqualified for the luxurious place such as that. She was just in her usual jeans and shirt and even left her earrings because of the rush to attend an early meeting in the office. Mark put on the necklace at Merryll then he knelt and popped the magic question “Will you marry me?” Merryll hasn’t heard it so well and is conscious that other people might see Mark kneeling so she said “Yes, just get up!” Mark repeated the question and confirmed that the answer is really yes. I think Merryll was blushing in joy because she had waited so long for this time to come.

Cheers to Mark! It was really a surprise to Merryll.

There was another wedding but this time, it’s not me who’s invited, but my friend Merryll. Her boyfriend’s sister got married! Like me, Merryll was as excited to attend this wedding. She was one of the bridesmaids. The motif was gold. And she tried to find the perfect shoes that will match her dress. She was required to find a red shoes. To add to that, her shoe size is quite big so she found it difficult to scout for a the perfect footwear…

I got to see her pictures and it was okay. She was pretty. Thanks to David’s Salon who took care of her hair and make-up but they overdid it. It took them 1 hr. and 30 minutes and… yes, they arrived late. Merryll and Mark (her boyfried), didn’t get the chance to be part of the entourage. There were more than 3 bridesmaids so her absence was okay.

So much to this, I think they’re lucky that they were late. Why? Because there’s an old belief that those lovers who march together along the Church’s aisle before getting married will soon break up. I don’t believe in this, but I also would like to avoid coincidences. :D
