I was in the middle of formatting resumes last Wednesday afternoon when I suddenly got a chat messages from my office seatmate Charles. I was suprise when he told me that this coming Friday he will make a marraige proposal to his Fiancee. He requested me to personally be with him on that special day to give him courage and moral support. I was honestly overwhelmed and honored, how can I say no being a witness to a very meaningful event?. Though Charles can be percieved as a perfectionist and hot-headed even on the simpliest reason, I know he also have soft romantic side. So while he was in the middle of sharing his ideal plan and asking me for other creative insights, I interupt him and said - "sure Charles. whatever happens, I will be there."
Charles and Zhao Ang first met way back 1999 at the National Univestiry of Singapore. They have been lovers since 2002 (whew, talking about more than 6 years relationship). They have been planning their wedding since 2006. And just last night... January 8/ 7pm at a crowded shopping mall infront of Gold Heart Jewelrey outlet, the much anticipated amazing proposal happened.
Charles and I left office at exactly 6:30pm and reach the venue after 15 minutes. He introduce me to his 2 friends - aside from support, their job is to monitor where Zhao Ang is and give a signal once she is near the place while I'm in-charge of staying with the future groom and making sure he is well-prepared. Wow! First time i saw Charles so tensed and nervous.The red roses were lovely and the teddy bear was so cute. He put the wedding ring to his pocket, took several snaps, then off he hide and waited for his lady to arrived. So let the pictures tell the rest of the story...
So nervous Charles still manage to smile for the camera
The sparkling wedding ring
Where to hide? Here?
Or here?
His lady will arrive any moment from now
So suprised Zhao Ang
Charles on a very loud voice he said - "I love you Zhao Ang. Marry me..."
Future wife still in shock mode
Now a little teary eyed
"Yes Charles, I will marry you...".
It took roughly just 5 minutes for the entire wedding proposal but I'm very sure that for Charles and Zhao Ang, the memories of it will be treasured for a lifetime. The future groom did an amazing job - from kneeling down up to loudly saying "i love you, will you marry me" 3 times. The scene also caught the public's attention as hundreds of them clap thier hands and cheered "wooohoooooo" when he was putting the ring on her.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zhuang
Me with the future groom
Me with the future bride.
After greeting them personally, i rushed back to MRT to meet a friend for dinner. While on travel, my mind was still with what happened earlier. I'm so proud with my seatmate that I sent him an sms - congrats Charles, successful proposal". He replied after a few minutes by saying - "thank you so much, you gave me courage and full support".
So once again, ADVANCE BEST WISHES TO CHARLES AND ZHAO ANG!!!!!
