Our Proposal...
Location: Bateaux Dubai Dinner Cruise, Dubai Creek
Date: March 4, 2014
​
It started out like many of our previous dinner dates. He'd made the reservations, and then, in a burst of his usual spontaneity, purchased Arab outfits for us to wear.
Dubai is a beautiful city, the creek at night is almost magical. The boat made its way through the night, and somewhere in the corner, a pianist played softly.
We talked.
About many things, but then we also talked about marriages we admired, and marriages that frightened us. It wasn't our first time discussing these things. Usual talk. We talked about life. We held hands and watched the water. Almost at the end of the cruise, he excused himself from the table. I fiddled with his camera, scrolling through all the other pictures from our holiday.
He returned and sat. And then the waiters arrived, bearing chocolates and fruit and a ring box.
And I just laughed and laughed as everyone cheered and clapped...
