On the 31st January 2009, my now fiancé Raymond Abrahams proposed to me. We went to the beach apparently for a “walk” and then something to eat. Not to my knowledge, he had a friend from work help him with all the background preparation.
He used the note in the bottle concept…. We were walking along the beach, and he pointed out the bottle lying on the sand. I noticed that the bottle had something in it. When I got closer, I realized it was a note/letter. I got really excited because I thought it was a treasure map or something! He told me to check and see what the letter said (trying to seem inquisitive himself).
I took out the note in the bottle and read it, it said the following:
My love, this message I send you hoping you’ll find it before its too late!
My love for you has grown so much this past while & now I realize I cannot live without you!
As this bottle has traveled the water, so did my heart in search for my soulmate.
It is with this in mind……..
At this point he took the ring out of his pocket, went down on bended knee and asked me to be his wife! I feel the tears of joy coming on again.
Before I said yes or even looked at the ring, I hugged him and cried for almost 5mins…. He was crying too.
His friend from work then came along with picnic basket that Raymond (my fiancé) prepared and packed himself….. We then took a drive to Redcliffs/Redhills (don’t remember the place’s name…wasn’t important at the time) and had our picnic there…. Lovely prawns, scallops, oysters, calamari steaks, smoked turkey, cracker bread, smoked salmon spread and of course the bottle of champagne to celebrate! After the picnic we went back to the beach where we spent a few hours just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.
So yes, that’s how it all happened…. Im going to be “a wife” soon… Im going to have “a husband” soon…..Im going to be Mrs. Abrahams soon!
Hope my fiancé’s proposal touches you like it touched me.
