The Surprise Marriage Proposal

Okay, I tweeted about it, but I just have to put up a post ;-p

Met up with Jeral & Sandy for a dinner last night, together with Teck & Jeral’s bf, Herman.

It all began when Herman excused himself to the washroom right after our meal.
Teck & I decided to go too and when we were both already done, there was still no sign of Herman.
Teck suggested that he might be into some BIG BUSINESS in the gents since it was taking him so long.

Just then, Herman called Jeral to locate us & appeared in a slow pace (he broke his foot couple of months ago) with his hands behind his back. He revealed a bouquet of white tulips to his girlfriend, which I initially thought was just a simple gesture for Christmas. It then came to me that there’s something more to it & seeing the ring he was holding underneath the bouquet further confirms my assumption.

I (unconsciously) let out a small scream in excitement.

Jeral: “Where have you been to? (Upon sighting of the flowers) What are you doing?”

Herman: “What am I doing? I’m going to propose to you!”
And he knelt, in public, asking for hand in marriage.

Herman was obviously nervous.
Jeraldine was too thrilled, too embarrassed, too stunned, too happy, too touched. Her expression was priceless.

Oh my gosh, the rest of us were running red with the surprise & excitement.
Before I knew it, there was a cameramen behind us.
Darn, got into the video footage. Removed myself out of the scene immediately.
Getting back into my senses, I decided to take part in capturing the moment.

The only one decent still image I managed to shoot.

That unanticipated proposal, overwrites the rest of the night.
It took quite sometime for Jeral to digest what had happened, while we recapped the moment & told Herman that he ought to have reveal his plan to us so that we could have hold Jeral to wait at a more ideal area instead of outside the toilet.
Hahaha.

Had seen several marriage proposals on TV, but nothing beats witnessing your own friend’s. Congrats gal.
