The Proposal

I was totally clueless.

I had no idea it was coming.. 

NO IDEA!  

Starting from the beginning....


After the girls and I settled in Hawaii we explored the streets; strolling down the beach, enjoying the views, and the gazillion ABC stores around every corner. We made plans to eat dinner at a nice restaurant called Sarento's at the Top of the Waikiki that Maria found through a Groupon Deal.

So we went back to the hotel to pretty ourselves up for dinner.
I got out of the shower and noticed Maria and Becky wearing red dresses. Maria replied back to me that the other dress didn't fit her and so she had to wear this red one.

When we got to Top of Waikiki, we couldn't find Sarento's.

I got out my phone to check on Yelp and it said Sarento's was located at Top of the I.

Marley: That's strange, it says Top of the I, not Waikiki.

Maria: Uh Oh. I made a mistake. Its at the Top of the I.

We were at the wrong restaurant and 15 minutes late to our reservation. 

FAIL!

Once we got to the RIGHT building, the RIGHT restaurant (30th floor), we were led into a private room that overlooks the whole city. The table had a nice setting of blooming red roses & white orchids and creme brulee scented white candles.

After we were seated, there was a huge projector facing us. The waiter told us it was part of the GroupOn Deal.

Once the video started, I wasn't really paying attention until I heard a familiar song Christina Perri A Thousand Years (which I blogged about before HERE) and then I saw my face appear on the screen.

I had a million thoughts running through my head but the loudest one was: 

WHY IS MY FACE ON THE SCREEN?!?!?!

Then I heard Phong's voice and saw him in the video. It was hard for me to process everything that was going on but he starts talking about us. 

After the video ended, the door to our private room opens.

His friends walk in. 

A few minutes later he walked in, 

and 

the story of us just goes from there.

The whole time I was in shock and just didn't know how to react. 

I was basically a smiling fool. 

My knees were shaking,

I forgot to breathe, 

it was like an out of body experience. 

I didn't know what was going on around me. 

Thank you to everyone who had a part in helping the Mister <3

I feel very blessed with the close family and friends we share.

XOXO
