This is the part everyone likes to hear about, well it is the part I also like best. Is it romantic? Is Hakeem romantic? Since we started dating, I always knew we were going to marry. The issue was when, how, with what, by whom and where the proposal would come. So how did I want it to happen? Just the same way everyone wants it to happen, different and out of the way.

My dream proposal was something like this. We go for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, for a normal time out, without expecting anything. There’ll probably be a live band on stage singing away. Then the lead singer comes on stage and dedicates a song to me. WOW!! After which Hakeem steps on stage and right in front of everyone proposes to me, and everything just goes round and round. Add to that a standing ovation from everyone and me saying yes of course!!! and you get a complete picture of my dream proposal.

Although it didn’t happen exactly like that, Hakeem still made a dream proposal in his own way as usual playing up to the occasion, never letting down, always representing!

So how did it actually happen? It was his birthday, and he had told me he wouldn’t be able to celebrate it with me, ‘cause he couldn’t get a flight back into the country. Now that got me mad, “How dare u not find a seat!!” (I wonder how I fell for that one). The drama played well and by 10.00 pm on his birthday, nothing had happened and I was tucked in bed, done with the day.

Or so I thought. Then at 10.30 pm there comes this knock on my door, the door opens and this dream guy that looked exactly like Hakeem is standing there. How I got to dreaming so early in the night baffled me but this dream didn’t go away. Luckily he didn’t put an end to the dream, as he sat at the edge of my bed, out flew this white box and…. who says I can’t be active in a dream, so I open the white box and what do I see, a diamond and platinum ring staring at me! Then Hakeem the Dream takes the box and slips the ring on my finger.

Like every dream I woke up to find out this one was real.
