The weeks leading up to Angel's proposal were filled with excitement and anticipation. Angel knew that proposing to Monica was a significant step and wanted to make it unforgettable. Her first task was finding the perfect ring, and for that, she enlisted the help of Monica's daughter, Laiyah.

One  afternoon, Angel and Laiyah ventured to Tiffany & co jewelry store. Laiyah's eyes sparkled with excitement as they entered the store, and she couldn't wait to help Angel choose the perfect ring.

They browsed through displays of exquisite rings, each one more beautiful than the last. After much deliberation, Laiyah spotted a halo shaped diamond surrounded by round smaller diamonds set in a delicate platinum band. "This one, Angel! It's perfect!" Laiyah exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious.

Angel smiled, knowing that Laiyah's choice resonated with her. "You've got great taste, Laiyah. I think your mom will love it."

With the ring chosen, Angel began to plan the proposal. She wanted it to be an experience that encapsulated their journey together—a grand gesture that matched the depth of her feelings. She decided on a luxurious beachside resort, a place Monica had always dreamed of visiting. Angel arranged for a private dinner on the beach, complete with a beautifully decorated table, fairy lights strung above, and a musician playing Monica's favorite song softly in the background.

The Proposal:

The day of the proposal arrived, and Angel's heart raced with excitement. She had been planning this moment for months, and now it was finally here. Monica was completely unaware of what Angel had in store for her, making the surprise even more special.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the beach, Angel led Monica to the surprise location. Monica's eyes widened in amazement at the sight of the beautifully set table, the soft glow of the fairy lights, and the gentle melody of the musician.

"This is incredible, Angel," Monica said, her voice filled with awe. "How did you manage all of this?"

Angel smiled, taking Monica's hand in hers. "I wanted to create a special moment for us, something to celebrate how far we've come."

They enjoyed a romantic dinner, the atmosphere filled with laughter and love. The sun dipped below the horizon, and the stars began to twinkle in the sky. Angel knew it was time.

As the final course was served, Angel took Monica's hand again, leading her away from the table to a secluded part of the beach. The gentle sound of the waves provided a soothing backdrop as Angel knelt down on one knee, pulling out the ring box.

Monica's eyes widened, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. Angel took a deep breath, her voice steady as she began her proposal speech.

"Monica," Angel began, her voice filled with emotion. "From the moment we met, you changed my life in ways I never thought possible. You've shown me what true love and happiness are, and you've become my everything. I've watched you love and care for your children, and I see the strength and beauty in you every day. You make me want to be a better person, and I can't imagine my life without you."

Angel opened the ring box, revealing the sparkling diamond.

"This ring is a symbol of my commitment to you, a promise to stand by your side through all of life's ups and downs

"This ring is a symbol of my commitment to you, a promise to stand by your side through all of life's ups and downs. I want to build a future with you, one filled with love, laughter, and countless memories."

She looked up at Monica, her eyes filled with hope and adoration. "Monica, will you marry me?"

Monica's eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at the ring and then back at Angel. She was overcome with emotion, her voice trembling as she finally spoke. "Yes, Angel. Yes, I'll marry you!"

Angel slipped the ring onto Monica's finger, and they embraced, the world around them disappearing as they shared a kiss filled with all the love and joy of the moment. The musician began to play a soft, romantic tune, and the stars above seemed to shine even brighter.

As they walked back to the table, hand in hand, the evening felt magical. The proposal had been everything Angel had hoped for and more, a perfect reflection of their love and commitment.
