So...
I am now married.
No more ticking "Single" on forms,
no more "me" but "us".
To me, it was...
But I think to him, it is...
How we got to know each other?
I had written this for one of the emcee who was hired,
so in order for him not to sound like a hired one,
they requested for this.
So, here goes:
Whenever
asked how did we know each other,
Edwin would reply “At a club”.
Being a girl,
of course that doesn’t sound good.
However, that wasn’t entirely wrong, or
right either.
We met via 2 very good friends of ours, Ivan & Anisah.
They
were the ones who brought us together, I would say.
They introduced us to each other
right outside Boilers (St James).
After partying, all of us went for supper and
he asked for my number.
I gave him 7 numbers, missing 1.
He
said he tried calling all possible numbers,
but he didn’t try the number “0”
thus I never hear from him
until Anisah persuaded me to allow her to give him
my number.
I
still remember clearly how Edwin impressed me on the first date.
I was then
obsessed with a drama airing on TV
and going out with him would mean that I
would miss 1 of the episode.
He went the extra mile and actually burned that
episode into a DVD for me.
When I entered his car and he passed me the DVD,
I
was so touched and shocked that he would actually do that for me.
I guess
that’s when my heart starts to tug and I wanted to get to know him more.
The
next time I saw him again was together with a group of friends.
He forgotten
where he parked his car (he has this problem with finding his car till now -.-“
)
and we searched storey after storey to find his car.
I was very amused as
that was the first time I met someone
who can actually cannot remember where he
park his car
and he is not even a female to begin with!
How can a man forget
his car?!
The
next day, he texted me and asked me to join his friends for majong.
It was a
Sunday, my family day and I hardly know how to play, so I turned him down.
He
said okay and I thought everything was cool.
But I received another text
shortly after and it was directed to his friend.
Apparently, he had sent it to
me by mistake.
He said that I was playing hard to get.
WTF! WTF! @###%!@@@!#@ I was
furious!
Rejecting you means playing hard to get??!!!
Being strong headed, I
texted him back and scolded him.
He apologized but I didn’t reply cos’ I
thought that I’m done with this ridiculous man.
But he
called me the next day
and I was still irritated so I told him to stop
bothering me.
He
is a determined man, I tell u.
He eventually got me to forgive him.
He made an
animation from scratch, showing a boy (looks like him)
with the captions “I am
sorry”.
What kind of extinct man is this?
Every other guy will simply just move
on and get on with their life.
But this man actually made me an animation.
A
few months of knowing each other better,
I finally became the first girlfriend
of a 24 year old virgin.
The proposal was carried out in secret with the help of his good friends.
He
even called my friends to make sure that they will be present.
It was at the
place we first met, Boilers at St James.
I remembered that he told me his
friend had just came back from overseas
and they wanted to party at Boilers.
I
was asked to go as well.
Much to my surprise, my friends also texted me, telling me they were going to Boilers.
I was thinking what a coincidence.
Never
did I expect that he will be proposing on that night on the stage.
He asked the
performer (emcee) to invite him on stage in the pretense
that he was sabotage
by his friends saying it is his birthday.
But actually they have all conspired
to trick me up on stage to accompany him.
Then on the stage, he proposed to me
with a ring and a bouquet of flower.
I agreed immediately.
We
went for vacation in Europe (London, Paris), Batam
and Taiwan for our
pre-wedding photoshoot.
We love how we will already laze around on the bed not
doing anything
but enjoying each other company.
Our
relationship has its ups and downs.
The touching part would be during our
courtship period.
We have never missed a single day of not meeting
and Edwin had
written a book (diary) regarding what happened everyday together and how he
felt.
It was the sweetest thing a guy had done for me.
Edwin works every hard
to give me what I want and to make the wedding happen.
He puts me before
himself and is the most generous man I’ve ever known.
I wrote more than I needed to, I know!
Whatever! the writer in me just kept going on!
