As it is Thirsday Thirteen AND Valentine's day today,
I'm sharing something very very special today.
I featured a picture yesterday, one that obviously didn't need any words ...
Today, I'll try to tell you the whole story, with thirteen pictures ...
... and some very dramatic music.
The colours of the pictures have faded a little, the memory hasn't ...
(I really can't find another way to get the music in this post, so please click on the video to hear the music. No, not just now, wait just a little bit, I'll tell you when !!!)
20th October also happens to be my birthday, what a coincidence!)
It was in the month of October, 1990.
We had just moved into our new house.
We invited some friends ....
and threw a housewarming party.
As it was also my birthday ...
He had bought me a surprise gift.
Wich was not really a great surprise,
because as soon as he walked into the room, I knew what was in it!
He had selected some very dramatic music for his big entrance.
Also Sprach Zaratustra ....
(Click on the video if you have not added the music yet)
I acted a little surprised ...
Unpacked it...
Of course, I already knew what it was, so I wanted to thank him for it.
But then he said I had to open it.
The music had reached it's most dramatic point
"tatààààà!!!"
I opened it ...
and found a little envelope ...
I thought I was getting a birtday card, so I opened it and read it.
My friends were getting very curious and a little impatient to know what the letter said,
and asked me to read it out loud ...
My voice trembled ...
"Keppeke, will you please marry me"
He proposed to me, right there and then, and nobody knew exept for my stepdaughter.
We had been together for ten years and we were happy the way we were.
I had no idea!
It was one of the most precious moments in my life ....
It's all a long time ago now, we got married in the month of May.
And have been happily married ever since ...
