hey Cris whats up, why so quiet man?

whats up buddy? you are quiet these days, whats going on with you and Eva, getting things ready for the big day?

 

the wedding is off...he got caught messin' around LOL

 

Hahaha, you're a killer Pey. Well actually im done doing all of that now. Why? Because i asked Eva the most vital question of our relationship yet which, im sure you guessed was, the proposal. Yes, i got down on one knee in my nice, $1,000 tux in the parking lot where we had our 1st kiss. Odd but romantic IMO. Well for you guys who actually care, im gonna share the story with you guys to share in my happiness and bliss.


N.B: If you're a sad person who doesnt like to see others shine and be happy OR have no interest in reading this, go away now and close this thread. Otherwise, read on.

Valentine's Day is, always has and always will be a memorable day for all people as its a very significant moment in a person's lovelife. Its a time where romantic emotions run high and the greatest love for all is shared. Its a time when two soulmates get to share one soul. For me Christ, Valentine's Day of 2006 will always be a memorable day for me, you know why? Well, not to let the cat outta the bag yet, i would require you to read on.

Ever since Chris met Eva Castillo Dominguez Barajas on the blissful day of Feb 25th 2003, his life has taken a blessed turn. For many reasons. He found true love in a great woman, he found his long-sought-after dream woman and more importantly, he found his potential(as of then) spouse. But now, a blessed turn of events have undergone and love-life for Chris would never be the same again. Just in case you need to flashback of how this modern day version of Romeo and Juliet, with a blissful ending, met, here's a memoir. http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/f....php?t=2628&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Feb 14 2006 marked the way Chris was going to ask Eva the biggest question he was ever going to ask a woman. Why? Because he felt he had to do this as he had all he wanted in a woman. The day had begun just as he wanted it to. Sunny day in Miami, good weather with his angel by his side. All other details are slightly trivial so lemme get into the point.

Evening time came and Chris had decided he was going to give Eva a night to remember. He had taken her out on a shopping spree and got her the nice, lovely black floral dress she would wear to illuminate her beauty and hourglass figure. 8) Weeks before, himself and his mother had gotten the lovely diamond ring which would symbolize their hopeful lifelong union.

He took her to a lovely restaurant located near their home. The mood was romantic and spontaenous with nice candles, some flowers and nice music and also made sure she was stress-free by doing all the manual labor and keeping her jobless physically. He had to set the time right and make it great so he spoiled her with all what she wanted to eat or drink. They had a great meal while discussing about their relationship and what they've been through in their 3 years of being together. He told her he had a big surprise for her this year and this is gonna be a different Valentine's Day. She asked him what but he insisted she be patient. They then had a romantic dance and did the whole Valentine day romance you know........

Well like stated previously, what Chris had planned was to take her to the very place they had their 1st kiss which was the parking lot of the apartment he resided before he moved in to her place. :wink:

He told her he was taking her somewhere special which she had no idea where. As they drove there, he engaged her in different conversations to divert her attention span from the imminent, glorious moment. When they finally got to the spot, he stopped the car and asked her outta the car and told her to step out since he had something to "show" her. She thought he was acting slightly grotesque but still did as he had asked. He turned on a very romantic song from the car, looked her in the eye and asked her to tell him the real truth he wanted. She accepted so he brought out the ring, got down on one knee and and asked her the question, "Eva Castillo Dominguez Barajas, te Casas Conmigo?" meaning "Would you marry me" in Spanish? And she was sooooo flabbergasted, he could read it in her eyes. She was speechless for about 5 mins and then said, with tears of joy in her eyes "Dios mio, i dont even know what to say". -He ven remembers vividly the very words she said :lol: She smiled at him and finally said, "Yes papi chulo, i will marry you" then got him off his knees and gave him the longest, most romantic kiss ever. And so, from that moment on, they ceased from being boyfriend/girlfriend and became fiance/fiancee. And then to end a wonderful day, they made great passionate love to each other.

Now you'd wonder if life, despite its trials and tribulations, has not its blessings disguised in temporary pain and misery to offer? Everything has its time in life and it only requires patience and perseverance. And who is the very man who experienced all of these things? ME.

 

Cris, you are a great guy with a great love story---I want to emulate you!! although i have disappointed you and you no longer talk to me, I still you are the greatest in the room

 

Thanks a lot for the compliment, Tucker. As you know, only the foolish ones praise themselves but a lot of people tell me im good at story telling/writing. And for the record, you've disappointed me. Why? Because you'd even think im disappointing in you. Why would i be disappointed in a man i emulate and want to be like? Huh? Not really logical of me at all. We might have our differences but so does every human. I dont talk to you much because i haven't even had the time to actually be online. You're a great person to know and you'd always be. :wink:

 

thanks and damn glad to know ya!

 

Wow Chris that is a real nice story to read.
I am very happy to hear this, and happy it went so well for you and that you are both happy.

Glückwünsche / Congratulations.

 

LaydeezmanCris, congratulations on finding a lady you want to spend the rest of your life with.

 

Aw thanks guys for the support and care. Well, i guess i wont be welcome on this site since its aimed at BM and WW. :cry:

 

I've haven't gotten around to it yet, but I am still planning to e-mail you with some inquires. Be on the lookout from an e-mail by me.

 

It would be to my pleasure to receive a message from you or anyone else anytime anyday. :wink:

 

I am just wondering...

you seem to be the most debonair, tactful, and thoughtful man on the boards in here (to ME) so, why would you look up to some of us? :lol:

 

"Pride Goeth Before Destruction, and a Haughty Spirit Before a Fall."

Humility is the only seedbed from which faith can spring...In brokeness and contrition the humble person cries out to God for help. He reaches out to Christ for restoration and healing. He exercises faith in another because he knows he must touch someone greater than himself. It is to such souls that God gives himself gladly, freely. He draws near to those that draw near to Him. He delights to dwell with those of a broken and contrite spirit.

 

So, it has a lot to do with your faith?

 

Yes my brother, it has got to do with my faith and my motives as a person. I believe the most humble man gets the most exaltation in the end. And i dont necessarily mean eulogical exaltation in that sense but general meekness attracts the most worthwhile merits.

 

I agree totally Cris. I wrote you a really long message yesterday on this thread but for some reason it wouldn't post :cry: Anyway! BIG congratulations, such a lovely story to read, I was feeling a bit choked on all that romance...and you wrote it in a great way too, like it was someone else's story! So what are your plans? Are you getting married soon or saving up for a really big day?

 

Aww you're such a precious gem, MistressB. I really appreciate the fact that you showed so much interest and more importantly care even though i couldnt get to read what you wrote :cry: As you can tell from my preious posts, whenever i have a story to tell, i love to put it in a lexical and figurative tone to engage the reader and let people see my points from all personal views.

As for my matrimonial endeavors, well both our parents have been informed and have agreed to it but i doubt we'd be getting married anytime soon. Just as i expected, my parents would be taking myself and her to Nigeria sometime in the later part of the year to get her acquainted with outer family members, not necessarily to seek their approval but just because its vital in the Nigerian culture to "initiate" a bride-to-be to the groom's family. We have all the traditional engagement to do as well as the initial local ceremonies which take quite a while.

Similarly, her family would be expecting us to come down to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic- (which is where her matrilineal ancestry hails from)- to get acquainted with her family members who we havent met and dont live in the USA. According to herself, there's this custom they have in the Dominican Republic where the groom gets to sleep in the bride's family home for 7 days which i havent a clue what is behind it. Need to ask her that :lol:

As for the financial aspect, my parents would be taking care of all that. My parents have quite a lot of investments so they can always draw up a necessary sum of capital for any future endeavors.

With all of those factors considered, we wont be getting married anytime soon. But the day we do, it'd be huge. Im sure my parents are thinking, "Three done, one more to go". They cant wait to be totally emancipated from my spoilt-child baby-of-the-house antics. I cant either. :lol:

 

Heard this guys marriage crashed and burned already.

 

are you sure ?

 

He still comes here on occasion. I think you are wrong. He just had twins about a year ago. What would you know anyhow.........you weren't even a member when he was.

Put the bottle down. :smt009
