This is how you feel 10 minutes before your wedding proposal
Our MEVISTO as a seal of boundless love
What is the best way to seal a love that seems to know no bounds? Sascha asked himself this question and provided us with an up-close and personal experience: Of the emotional disarray he had to grapple with before he popped the question to his girlfriend Mia. Since Sascha had chosen New Year's Eve for asking the question of all questions, the tension grew with every second of the last ten minutes before the strike of twelve...
A countdown to eternity
10 minutes: Man, I am so on edge. How am I supposed to tell her? Which words are the right ones? Will they come out the way I had planned? Will the fireworks go off as intended? Will we manage to stay outside until midnight? Then, dancing the waltz! Can I remember the steps?
9 minutes: I love her so much. Will she say “yes”? What if she does not? What will I do then? Will I just leave? Will I start crying? Will she say “no”?
8 minutes: Almost there. Cute how she is preparing the champagne flutes. How she lines them all up and carefully fills them with champagne. “Not too early, or else it will go flat”, I almost hear her saying.
7 minutes: Not much longer! Not much longer before my life will change. Until our life will become different. Will it really be? What will actually change? Will it change us, too?
6 minutes: Routine! Routine may seep in. You hear that all the time. No more flying sparks and no more sparklers like the one she is holding in her hand right now. In her gorgeous hand. How I love her fingers, her nails. Everything about her is beautiful!
5 minutes: Five minutes to go. Man, I am so on edge. What is she going to say? I hope she will not say “no”. Or, will she? What could be bothering her? What might she be afraid of? Did I miss something? Did I do everything right?
4 minutes: I just love her. How carefully she is setting up the lucky pigs. Making sure that every last person will take home a lucky charm for the new year. The guests are already moseying over to the backyard? We still have four more minutes! What if I lose her in this mêlée? What if I can’t find her right away...
3 minutes: “Hold on, let me take these glasses off your hands”. I have to follow her somehow. She is paying attention to everyone else again. Has no clue that the start to this new year will be very special for her as well. No idea just how special!
2 minutes: I have never been more nervous in my entire life. I am definitely not doing that again. That much is certain! This is almost unbearable. Wait a minute, where is the ring? This very special link. It will fit her beautiful finger perfectly.
1 minute: Okay, the countdown is starting. Stay calm. Come on, sweetheart, look at me, look over to me... “Ha, got her”, her glance is resting on mine. Now, Sascha, walk toward her! The box that holds the ring is in your hand. Ready to follow us to eternity.
