Taking out a red velvet box from his pocket, Kevin lifted her left hand and said," When we had gone to buy our wedding bands neither of us were interested nor excited and chose whatever was displayed in that stupid shop. No enthusiasm, feelings in short everything was so dull. In fact the rings itself are so dull and whenever I see this dull rings in our fingers, I feel guilty and sad for both of us because both of us and our relationship deserve much better than this. So I had this custom made for us." Before opening the box.
After Kevin returned from the military, he had given Chris the design that he wanted their wedding rings to be like.
The ring that he had designed for Silvia was a three carat old cut diamond, set in a traditional claw setting in platinum with five smaller smaller diamonds on each shoulder giving it a tapered appearance. While his ring was a full platinum ring which has a small diamond in the middle.
Taking out the wedding ring that Silvia was wearing from her finger, Kevin placed it inside his pocket and said." I got these custom-made after I returned from the military. I want us to exchange rings again today right in front of everyone so that everyone present in this room knows how much you mean to me."
Sliding the ring into her ring finger, Kevin kissed her hand and said," This isn't just a wedding band but is also a promise that I'll always love and protect you. No one will ever be able to harm you or even touch a single strand of your hair with me around."
Looking at Silvia whose face was already stained with tears, Kevin chuckled and said," Say something honey, my knees are hurting."
Just then Silvia pulled him by his collar and clashed her lips against his.
" Oh my God they are so sweet." Janet said before wiping off her tears.
" Silvia is so lucky." Martha said before looking for a tissue inside her bag.
Passing her a handkerchief, Chris said," Honey here."
Glaring at him, Martha said," All you can do you give me your bloody handkerchief. Learn something from Kevin. He is a hundred times better than you who proposes his girlfriend for marriage without a ring that also outside our apartment."
" Exactly, Kevin is such a gentleman and a perfectionist. He knows how to cook and also know how to make his wife feel special." Janet said.
" He is so romantic too." Martha said.
Glaring at his friend who was busy enjoying kissing in his wife after making things difficult for them, Rocky and Chris swore to beat the shit out of him later.
Finally letting each other go, Kevin and Silvia pressed their foreheads together.
Wiping her tears away, Kevin kissed her forehead and said," Your makeup is gone."
Hitting him on his chest, Silvia said," It's all your fault."
Kevin chuckled and asked," How so?"
" You should've at least given me a heads up so that I would've come prepared." Silvia said.
" That wouldn't have been a surprise right?" Kevin asked.
Burying her face on his chest, Silvia said," You are such a big meanie."
Wrapping his arms around her, Kevin said," There are so many things I want to say and do but I can't in front of so many people."
" Ahhh Sil I am so happy for you." Janet shouted before rushing towards her.
" Wait for me too." Martha shouted before following Janet.
" Ahhhh." The two girls squealed in excitement when they saw the beautiful ring on Silvia's finger.
" Ahhh this is beautiful." Janet said.
" Exactly ahhh Sil you are so lucky." Martha said.
Pulling Silvia towards him, Kevin said," Don't take my wife away, she has to help me wear my ring too."
Taking is his ring, Silvia slid the new one into his finger.
Giving her a peck on her cheeks, Kevin said," Alright let's eat something now, I am famished after talking so much."
Patting his sons shoulder, Uncle Herpi said," I am very proud of you son."
Giving his dad a hug, Kevin said," I should actually thank all of you for forcing us to get married. Seriously dad, mom Silvia was the best decision you both have ever taken for me."
" I am so happy for you kids." Aunt Lily said before giving Silvia a hug.
" All of us are very happy and now we want nothing else but a cute little grandchild from you both." Uncle Thomas said.
Kevin chuckled and said," Yes, that is why I am taking her for a honeymoon."
Smacking his arm, Silvia said," Kevin."
" What? You don't want to give them one?" Kevin asked.
Heat crept all over Silvia's face when she saw everyone grinning at her.
Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Kevin said," We will definitely give you dozens of grandchildren to play with."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard that.
The atmosphere became very lively after the proposal.
Wiping his wife's tears, Grandpa Jones said," What are you sad about? Isn't our Silvia at better and safe hands now?"
" I am so happy for her Jerry." Grandma Jones said.
" So we are mom." Jackie said.
After having dinner, uncle Herpi and the Jones along with uncle Thomas started talking business while aunt Lily and Julie were busy discussing about joining a baking class to improve their skills.
Martha, Silvia and Janet were busy discussing about the honeymoon and Ron who hadn't showed up yet.
" That idiot is going to get a good beating from me, how can he not show up?" Silvia said.
" Ron had called me Sil he is not feeling well. He asked me to tell you that he will send over your gifts and meet you after you come
back from your honeymoon." Janet said.
" Is it something serious?" Silvia asked.
" I don't know but I'll pay him a visit tomorrow and then I'll let you know." Janet said.
" Now now let's talk about your honeymoon." Martha said.
" What about that?" Silvia asked.
Janet rolled her eyes and said," I'll send you a few videos like the previous ones okay? Just watch them and learn."
" But-"
" No buts Silvia, Kevin did such a beautiful thing for you so even you have to do something beautiful for him." Martha said.
Janet nodded her head and said," Yes that is only fair. You have to make him feel special too. You also have you tell him about your feelings in a very special way."
" Yeah I was planning to do the same." Silvia said.
" Ehhh don't worry, I'll send you hot and sexy tutorials." Janet said.
" I'll send some too." Martha said.
