My mom texted me last Monday and told me to invite Alex's family for NYE. But "no pressure as they may have their own", she said. We weren't sure if it was going to happen until Alex's mom gave us an okay by Wednesday afternoon. My girlfriends were teasing me, telling me he will propose. I've been waiting (I'm sure we all were LOL) and I didn't want to get disappointed on New Year's Eve, so I pushed the thought away. I told myself, "its so last minute, he won't do it. He'll definitely won't do it in front of our family". We ate dinner and was watching the countdown. 30 seconds left and I couldn't find him. I kept yelling "WHERE'S BATCH?!?!" Then I saw him enter from our front door holding a cake, I thought to myself "another cake?", I then turned my back on him and started taking pictures of everyone. Everyone was yelling "HAPPY NEW YEAR!". Then I heard him say "Babe! Open this! Open it!" So I gave the camera to my youngest brother (and boo you for not taking pictures btw!), turned around and opened the cake, "Will you marry me?" was written on it and saw the ring. He quickly kneeled down and uttered the words "Will you marry me?". I was in shock and blurted out "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!". I gave him the cake, ugly cried, and after 30 seconds, I finally said "YES! YES!" Thank you to our family for planning this amazing surprise. You all made me think that this was a last minute thing, when all this time you guys have been planning! And of course, thank you Batch for involving our family to one of the most important event of our life. I love youuu and I cannot wait to marry you! ♥
