The proposal

Hi there~
Another personal story from me (hope you don’t mind 😄).

I still can’t believe it, I’m engaged! Engaged to the man I love and who loves me deeply. 💕 I’m forever grateful and I don’t take this season for granted. This post is extra special too because it’s in conjunction with our 1st month of engagement and 11 more months to go before the big day! 🎉

Since we’re officially engaged, I guess it’s time to spill the tea on… the proposal.

My Dream Proposal vs. Reality 

Like most girls, I used to dream of a classic movie-style proposal:
He gets down on one knee, pulls out a ring, and asks, “Will you marry me?” with tears, flowers, and dramatic music in the background.

But in real life? Nope. That didn’t happen.
And honestly… I got something much sweeter. 💕

My fiancé is not a Korean drama actor or a Hollywood leading man. He’s just a normal, down-to-earth guy — very realistic, very him. From the start, he already warned me: “I’m not the kind of guy who’ll do that kneeling proposal thing.”

So, I didn’t expect it. And guess what? I didn’t feel disappointed at all.

What I Got Instead 💖

From the very beginning of our relationship, he told me something that made my heart skip:
“I’m going to marry you.”

Not “maybe.” Not “let’s see where this goes.” But with confidence. That’s when I told myself: this is the man.

For me, that confidence and certainty is way more romantic than any movie-like proposal. I wasn’t looking for just another love story that ends in heartbreak. I wanted someone serious, someone who knew what he wanted and that’s exactly what I got.

Now here we are. We made it to the next level: engaged! 🥳 And I’m thankful to God because without Him, we wouldn’t be here today.

Looking Ahead ✨

So yeah… that’s our “proposal” story. Not dramatic, not flashy, but absolutely perfect for us.

Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for marriage. I know the next level is not easy, it’s a whole new challenge. But I truly want to make it. 

And if you’re single right now, I pray you’ll meet someone who’s serious about loving you. If you’re engaged like us, I pray you’re happy and ready for all the unknowns ahead. Wherever you are in life, I hope you’re doing well.

Because at the end of the day, one thing remains true:
God is love. ❤️

Love,
Aya
