TWL

He did not bend on his knees to ask my hand for marriage.

We didn't have the typical millennial way of  doing a marriage proposal : no shimmering ring, no romantic surprise, no drama. The phrase "Will you marry me?" popped out occasionally during very random days and situation. It came in forms like "Dito ka na lang, 'wag ka muna umuwi.", "Gusto ko na ng bata (baby) natin." or "Kailan ba tayo magpapakasal?" and to me, that's beautiful. 

Right from the very start, he already made it clear that his purpose is marriage; not just  to test the waters and turn back when things don't go as planned. Going back to March 12, 2013, to that time when I said "yes" to be his "imaginary friend" (as I call it before for some reason), I know that I have also said "yes" to a life-long commitment with this person whom I believe God has chosen for me.

I am one of God's most favorite while he is one of God's most faithful. He did not bend on his knees to ask my hand for marriage, instead, he bent on his knees to ask God for me through prayers. 

Disclaimer : I am still waiting for a 💍, though. 😏
