How he popped the question:
It was Valentine's day 2007. Exactly a year since we met. We went to my favourite restaurant in Sandton. I could tell that he's nerves were making him sweat. But I thought, hey he won't propose today, its to soon. But as this romantic evening took its toll, he went to "order cake for dessert". He looked at me with tears in his eyes & I couldn't say no. It was perfect!
