Eventually most of us want that special day. The day that we ask that special person to marry us. The time we get to then plan the perfect day and the perfect celebration of that love. Time comes when you want to have that one that just makes you want to forget all the others and say yes just me and you. The question I have is why is it so nerve-wrecking to ask someone to marry you? Why does it seem to need to take days and months of the sense running through your head over and over before you muster up the guts to get the ring, or whatever symbol you choose, and get on your knee and pop that question? The second question I have is, why the hell does it take the other person so damn long to just say yes? LOL

I mean listen I know that this is a special moment and everybody wants to soak in the vibes and love and atmosphere. I get it that for most, it’s a true surprise and they really aren’t prepared to be put on the spot. Whether it be in front of no one, or in front of strangers or in front of family or friends. So maybe, it really is just a big ass mental block that comes into their mind once they see the situation unfolding before their eyes. But goodness some people drag that thing out like it’s a damn sitcom and they tryna get ratings out the deal. LOL

Now, to be fair I have been on the giving end of these proposals, so I’ve only had to do the hard work of buying the right ring, finding the right moment, making sure to keep it a secret until it’s time and most of all, getting on a knee and asking someone to be my spouse, in front of people. Suffice to say I guess I should shut the hell up because in each past instance, it took me months to really get the nerve and confidence to ask the question with the almost assured assurance that the answer would be yes, but in my defense, that’s the hardest part and requires the most planning so it should take time. Once that shit is done, don’t drag it out for another endless of amount of time, trying to cry, but not too hard, being legit surprised but not to the point of losing all sense of control. LOL

Can we just really have the beautiful moment. Take a little bit to soak in the specialness and uniqueness of the situation. Allow your emotions and feelings to overpower you and let the tears of happiness and joy flow. But then after all that happens within say.. 15 seconds, please say yes. Nod your head if you can’t talk or stick out your hand if you can’t move your head. But please just affirm your acceptance of the proposal so the person can get off their knee, the situation can switch from being awkward to celebratory and the planning for the next biggest day of life can begin.

I know this is meant to be funny and make a little light of a very serious situation. But in all fairness, there is nothing like being able to look someone you love in the face and ask them to take the ultimate step with you and take the step towards getting married. It’s a beautiful thing and something that should be cherished. A little secret, I have a plan to do just that later this year. I have a date in mind and a place. I have the ring I want to get and the setting already planed out. I just need Corona to cooperate or else the place will have to shift, but the plan will still move full steam ahead. Next year I plan to write a blog detailing all the details of the proposal and the plans for, if not the wedding itself. Stay tuned.
