A love story from Dubai.

It was the last evening in Dubai. A January night that turned out to be very special indeed. We just finished supper and were sipping on some wine. The children were running around playing and laughing, the winds were warm and I felt relaxed. This was vacation! Suddenly H asked if we could go for a walk. Or he didn't really ask me, he kind of dragged me up from the table saying "let's go for a walk, "A" (our friend) will watch the girls". A bit surprised since we never took a evening walk any other evening I got up and followed him. We walked along the ocean and as we passed under a temple H all of a sudden got down on his knees and pulled something out from his pocket. I stood there in a state of chock and all that came out from my stupid mouth was "no!"! Of course this was a reaction over that this situation was totally unreal to me but H freezed and looked at me, hesitating, asking "no?" My eyes filled with tears of joy as I was struggling to say something right and finally I squeezed out "I mean yes, of course I mean yes!" And while I started to cry H placed the most beautiful ring on my finger. It was all surreal and I was thinking to myself "is this really happening?". And yes, this really happened that very special evening in January 2015, the last evening on our vacation. Up until that moment I tried to persuade myself that it doesn't really matter if we're married or not but secretly I was still hoping that one day we would... And it looks like my wish is coming true because guess who's getting married this summer?!


All you need is love!
