I was 21, he was 19 than. I am from Malaysia. He is from India.We met on a flight to Australia. It was a year after we been friends/dating.
It was in my parents home, in Malaysia. He came for a visit.It was 1 day before his 20th birthday. I was in the living room ( sitting on the floor ) doing my cross stitch. He laid down on his belly and said " we have known each other for a year now and you are the most beautiful girl ( he still believes and says that ) I have ever seen, my better half any day. Ask me now anything you want to know and I will tell you. I cant think of anyone I want to grow old with. Will you marry me, be my wife and make me the happiest man in the world.
I remember clearly saying to him " is this the way you propose " ( i was in shock ) Anyway I put the stuff I was doing down and said " I didnt think I will have a love marriage ( thought I will have an arrange marriage ). You make me very happy and If there is a man I want to spend rest of my life with it better be you" and said to him "YESSSS" .
I think it was 2 months or so after that he bought me a simple heart shaped ring. We got married a year later and its been 17 years now.
