At dinner tonight in Santorini there was a young couple from India sitting in front of us at the restaurant.
Here are two conversations, ours and theirs, combined for your convenience…
Kiki: “That guy is putting out some interesting energy. “
Me: “I was thinking the same thing. And she looks…I don’t know…nervous?”
Suddenly, the guy stands, motions over the owner of the restaurant and hands her his phone.
He then pulls a little black box out of his coat pocket.
Me: “Oh, crap, he’s going to propose!”
That Guy turns to the young woman and she stands up.
That Guy: (Nervously) “You will marry me?”
Her: “Are you telling me I will marry you?”
I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures.
Me: (to Kiki) “I’m totally posting this.”
That Guy: “I mean, Will you marry me?”
Her: “Yes. I will marry you!”
Kiki: “Oh, good. She said yes.”
The restaurant customers broke into applause.
Side note: Later, as we were leaving the restaurant, we walked over and congratulated them.
They are a lovely couple.
Turns out the restaurant owner didn’t hit the record button.
I mentioned that I had pictures and she was thrilled because I took the only pictures of the proposal.
I airdropped them to her and now I feel like I did my good deed for the year.
And, yes, she said I can post this story :)
