CLYDE'S AGUIRRE POV
Under the canopy of twinkling stars on the exclusive rooftop, I find myself on one knee, holding a velvet box that cradles a sparkling diamond ring. Tessa's eyes widen in surprise, her disbelief mirroring the magic of the moment.
"Tessa," I begin, my voice a soft whisper carried by the gentle night breeze. "From the day our paths crossed, my life has been touched by a warmth and light that I never knew existed. You've brought laughter to my quiet moments, joy to my mundane days, and love that has illuminated the darkest corners of my heart."
I take a moment to savor the sight of her, the woman who has become my anchor and my inspiration. "Every day with you feels like a beautiful melody, and I can't imagine a future that doesn't have your laughter echoing through it. You've made me a better person, and I am endlessly grateful for the love we share."
The shimmering diamond ring is reflecting the love that has blossomed between us. "Tessa, will you make me the happiest man alive and continue this incredible journey with me as my wife? Will you be my partner in all the adventures life has in store for us?"
Her eyes glisten with unshed tears, and I can sense the depth of emotion in the air. "Yes," she breathes, and I feel a surge of joy. As I slip the ring onto her finger, I can't help but marvel at the serendipity that brought us together and the promise of a future filled with love and shared dreams.
As Tessa says "Yes," a wave of applause and joy envelops us. I look up and see our families joining in, clapping their hands in celebration of this beautiful moment. Smiles light up their faces, and heartfelt congratulations are exchanged.
My parents, Spencer, Mia, and even Baby Neo, in his own adorable way, contribute to the chorus of happiness. The rooftop, reserved for this intimate occasion, becomes a stage for the shared joy of our loved ones. Each congratulatory message is a note in the symphony of love and support that surrounds us.
Amidst the applause and well-wishes, I share a glance with Tessa, and our eyes convey the depth of our gratitude for the love and warmth enveloping us. Our families, witnesses to this significant step in our journey, create a tapestry of happiness that we will carry with us into the next chapter of our lives.
*************************
Days have passed since Tessa and I got engaged, and the news has spread like wildfire. It's evident that someone must have tipped off the media, unleashing a storm of rumors. While I'm not entirely surprised, I can't shake off the frustration of dragging Tessa into the public eye, especially considering her aversion to the spotlight. The negative comments directed at her only fuel my irritation.
My parents, thrilled about the impending wedding, are eager to move things forward quickly. They express their desire to meet Tessa's grandpa, understanding that her parents won't be present. Tessa assures them that her grandpa will join the ceremony, despite his current health struggles.
Today, Tessa and I are meeting with our wedding planner. It's a step forward into the whirlwind of preparations that await us. I can't help but hope that amidst the chaos, we can create a celebration that reflects the love and commitment we share, shielding Tessa from the harsh glare of unnecessary scrutiny.
***************
The elegant office of the wedding planner is adorned with samples of fabrics, floral arrangements, and a myriad of wedding magazines. Tessa and I take a seat, and the wedding planner, a poised and experienced professional, greets us warmly.
"Congratulations on your engagement! I'm thrilled to be part of your special day," she says with a genuine smile.
"Thank you," I respond, glancing at Tessa, who offers a shy smile in return.
