I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I approached the little cottage nestled on the edge of the picturesque lake.
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I approached the little cottage nestled on the edge of the picturesque lake. Little did I know that this peaceful evening would mark the beginning of a new chapter in my life. As I stepped onto the porch, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. I had meticulously planned every detail of tonight's surprise proposal to ensure it would be a moment we would both cherish forever. As we reached a small clearing near the lake shore, I motioned for Carissa to stop. A blanket adorned with fairy lights and rose petals lay in the center. My heart practically skipped a beat as I took in the beautiful sight. Carissa gasped, her hands flying up to cover her mouth."Oh my goodness, this is unbelievable," she whispered, her eyes brimming with tears of happiness. "What is all this?" I took a deep breath, my voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Carissa," I began, "from the moment I laid eyes on you, my life changed for the better. You bring light and joy to every moment we spend together. You are my best friend, my confidant, and the person I want to spend the rest of my life with." Tears streamed down her cheeks as Carissa listened attentively, her eyes never leaving mine. “Will you make me the happiest person in the world and marry me?" Her hands shook as she wiped away tears of joy, her face radiant with emotion. She nodded fervently, unable to find the words to express her overwhelming happiness. In that moment, I slipped a beautiful diamond ring onto her finger. Hand in hand, we made our way back to the cottage, whispering dreams and plans for our future. That night, we toasted to love, to new beginnings, and to a lifetime of shared joy.
