I have to admit that as a good Venezuelan I was pushing a bit to get this day happened some time ago... and I got so desperate that I though it will never happen... so, when it actually happened it was completely surprise!!!.
Since the beginning of February 2008, I was suggesting quite directly that "the ring" was taking long to come, and honestly I was not really asking for a physical ring as it is not a Venezuelan tradition, but for my "Romantic dream" of my guy asking me to be his wife. So, it was by the end of July when we were talking and we decided that it was time to "fix a date" to get married, so we did and although no Romantic scene was involved I was extremely happy to be able to tell to everyone "I'm getting married". By then, I accepted that "the guy on his knee scene" was not going to happen and I took it out of my mind.
Then, on August 10th, when I was coming back from business trip I was happily surprised:
Jon was picking me from the airport and we had planned to go eating at Buca Di Beppo with a coupon that was expiring that day. In the middle of the way to the restaurant Jon said: "Ups, I brought with me the wrong coupon, so let's pass home to take the right one". I was so starving that I refused to it and suggested to go without coupon, but Jon insisted we had to use it. So, I accepted to go but without getting out of the car, because if the doggie saw me it was gonna take a while before we could leave the house again, but again Jon refused to that and he said: "I'm not playing tricks with Linus, if we go home you have to say "hi" to him.
We got home and Jon gave me the door keys while he took the suitcases from the trunk. I opened the door and surprisingly Linus was waiting right there. Was that weird? Yes, it was because when we go out Linus stays in his crate, but I did not suspect anything at all. The doggie was wearing a bow but I though: "oh, he went to the hairdresser" (they do that when dogs get a haircut). About 5 minutes passed before Jon said: "come on, look around".... Oh My Gosh!!!
The entrance to the house was covered with pictures of my guy on his knees asking if we could get married, and yes, the bow was the ring hanging from Linus neck... It was really, really cute and unexpected!
