I had finally graduated from university. Having no stress of academic studies was such a relief! This was in March of that year. I then was spending time on my Youtube Channel, interacting and creating content. It was short-lived and I will soon explain why.

Then Graduation picture time was upcoming. I did all that was to do and got that out the way.

We spent even more time together especially at the gym. (a hobby we both have in common.) I may not be at my goal as yet; however, I still love doing it.

One day there was a plan for us to go into Kingston to get an outfit for a friend's surprise birthday party. The friend's birthday was in April but because of some setbacks, (I was told) the party had to be held in May. That is when every one supposedly would be available.

Here we are up and down in the town of Kingston. I would like a dress, He didn't. He would like a dress, I didn't. I wanted multi colored, he wanted blue. I was wondering why it has to be a specific color... Not knowing that he was going to wear blue also.

He had his own plan all along!

We eventually decided on a dress and we called it a day.

I went to collect my official degree and my graduation pictures on the 4th of May. We didn't celebrate but, it was still a great memory for us.

Then there was a certain time distancing. It got me curious. I would see him and all he had to do was stuff on the road, or I couldn't come by the house.. Not knowing there was a team of persons there helping him to create hand-made items for the

"Surprise birthday party"

I felt so left out because i didn't know what was happening. I called one of my close friends and told her that I think Lepaul is going to propose to me. She said that I shouldn't think so deep because she would have known if he was and better yet, she wasn't invited to the party i am going so its nothing like that.

Not knowing that when i told her that, she told him. Having him to tighten up his moves and come up with better excuses.

I eventually took my mind off it.

Until, my mother came to me asking where she can get a wig made and that she wants a new dress and shoes. Me being curious to think what occasion my mother has going on that she hadn't given me a heads up on yet.

I didn't pay her any mind tho because she wasn't giving out much information.

Lepaul then told me that he wouldn't be able to make it that day because of work obligations.

The day finally came for the party and I was all dolled up!

I was picked up by who I was to travel to the location with. But first, I had to finish getting ready. You know, girl stuff.

I was now at my friend's house waiting on her. I said i was gonna put on some light makeup while i wait on her. Her husband was the "guest of honor" by the way. I thought he didn't know so I was trying to keep up the charade. By telling him we are jus going out to have a good time and he shouldn't worry. Not knowing he is secretly laughing at me inside.

We finally left out. On our way travelling I called Lepaul, he said he was on his way travelling back to Mandeville. I believed him.

We were now on the road leading to the location. The guest of honor was the one driving. I said to him, "Don't mind how the road looks, difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations."

Every one in the car was just playing along at this moment. I was the clueless one.

We were passing by to go and park and I saw blue balloons but there was no sign of anyone here already. So I said to myself, "It seems that we are early."

Parking the car, I was murmuring that I didn't want to wear my heels because I just couldn't be bothered. The guest of honor's wife said that she is wearing hers and she need company just in case she is over dressed. I went along with it and wore my heels.

Walking now to go on the spot where the decorations were,.....

Just to see Lepaul step from behind a column that he was hiding all this time.

People running from behind and in trees, coming to stack the "WILL YOU MARRY" pyramid. Music slowly increasing and Photographers with their cameras and lights walking quickly towards me. I had to just stand there and take my time to let my brain process what was happening.

I was so shocked. By this time I was seeing my mother, who said she was not going anywhere this day. In the new outfit she told me she wanted to get. I was seeing my friend who had been overseas for school. I was also seeing my friend who I had told my suspicions about this very day. I was blown! Like Knees shaking blown, and remember, I was in heels!

Lepaul had a whole speech planned. If you know, then you know.

He then asked the question, "Nicole A****** Anderson, Will you marry me?"

I answered, I didn't shout but I said Yes with me smiling from ear to ear.

Now you see what the blue dress was for. This man made me sooo happy on this day. Planning and taking charge and doing everything. I was so pleased.

By this time I was completely left-handed! All the fiancés and wives know what I am talking about here! Comment down below if you had that moment also!

We had a great photoshoot and a lovely rest of day!

It was really and truly a moment I cannot forget!

Now, by this time you must pick up that there is going to be a third and final part to this story.

I promise you that it will be posted sooner than you know. That's my gift to you.

See you soon in the next post. Keep safe!
