Celebrating a Memorable Blooper: When Stupidity Becomes Romantic

One stupid blooper has lead into an ideal, fun-filled, romantic relationship... I was shopping for a perfect engagement ring at Dubai Gold Souk and I decided to consult a friend about it.  After buying, I wanted to thank my friend, when accidentally I wrongfully sent the "thank you for your advice on a good engagement ring" to my fiance. I had really no idea I did. I was just thinking of her all throughout.

We met that night. She asked me where I've been, and why I'm not answering her calls. Alibi, I said I went to meet a client. Next thing, with a big grin on her face, she showed me the SMS I wrongfully sent. To my grandest shock, I almost fainted and fell down! My goodness! I wanted to cry! I just ruined the biggest surprise I was planning for.  I spoiled my wedding proposal!

It had been one of the funniest proposal I bet. On that Valentines Night Dhow Cruise Dinner, she kept on teasing me to show her the "surprise" ring right on. It has been comical. The surprise element was gone. I didn't show the ring until we're about to go. I was laughing when I asked her if she's willing to marry me even if I stupidly didn't give her a surprising engagement proposal. And then, there's calm. Wow, she's quiet. She looked at me, and she laughed hard! I am stupid I know - but she appreciated the thoughtfulness. AND SHE SAID YES of course! That's a perfect celebration into a plan that (almost) went wrong. She's the very kind of girl for me, and so I am for her.

But On that morning of Valentines, I went to the nearest flower shop, got the prettiest bouquet and I asked for as much of those fallen petals on the shop. I sneaked in my fiance's room while I know she's away, scattered all the petals I collected on the floor; placed the bouquet of flowers on her bed and left a small thought, "You redefined my life. Nothing more I could ask for. I love you." I turned off the light and hide.

All she knew my surprise was spoiled, but when she entered the room, she cried and hugged me and she was moved. She told me, "You're so sweet, now you got me by surprise!" I guess I made up from the wrong-sent SMS yeah!

Ever since that day, our life has been filled with humor. It's been fun. We always cheer up each other. And we're doing it consistently. We're on our 4th year now. My wife is pregnant for our first-born...
