"Do you need to look that cute for a meeting?" He pouted as he watched me while I got ready.
I rolled my eyes fondly at the possessive words.
"I can't just go to a meeting in a t-shirt and jeans, can I?"
"No, but why do you need to look so gorgeous for it?" He frowned deeply as he looked me up and down.

"I'm not that dressed up. You're exaggerating." I shook my head.
I could tell he still didn't like it at all.
But how can I not put thought into my looks tonight? When I know what's going to happen? . . . . I smiled widely as I looked around the venue after I got there.
It was perfect. Just like how I envisioned it.
"Shall we bring your partner straight here when they arrive?" Mrs. Tina, the one who helped me set this up, asked from my right.
"Yes please. His name will be Tan. He'll be wearing black clothes." I looked at her.
"Understood then." She nodded and went in.

I've been planning this since last month.
Designing the rings, talking to his supervisor and coworkers during my lunch visits to his company, booking this beautiful gazebo and the room connected to it for the weekend, everything.
It was so much work, especially since I had to do it while keeping up with the work at the company.
But it's all worth it.
Tonight, I'm going to make him mine. Permanently.
I reached into my pocket and took out the velvet box.
5 years and his love hasn't changed at all. It's still so bright and warm. He still has that look of absolute adoration whenever he looks at me. I could see the stars twinkling in his eyes every time.
