Ian pulled out Lilas chair for her as she sat down at dinner. Melanie was about to join them when Garrett directed her to another table. She looked up at him with a confused look on her face. Garrett just smiled at her explaining he was hoping for a little more privacy with just her at dinner. Ian winked at Garrett when they exchanged glances and turned back to Lila. When the waitress came he put in an order for them both, lobster for him and filet mignon for Lila. Wow big spender tonight? Finals must have gone well again then? Yes finals went well, another A and another mark on the deans list! Melanie did just as well. But were here to celebrate us tonight honey. Happy anniversary! Its been exactly 11 months now since we ran into each other at the grocery store! Lila grinned and caressed Ians hand on the table. Youre such a romantic. Im impressed honey. Ian waived the waitress back over and ordered a bottle of champagne. Once the champagne came, Ian proposed a toast to Lila. Darling, youve made my life so happy these past few months. I hope that we can spend many many more together. They clinked glasses and while Lila took a sip Ian pulled something out of his pocket and faced Lila. When she looked back at him she gasped. Lila Thayer, will you marry me? Lila squealed and put the ring on her finger. Of course I will Ian DeFoy! I love you so much!
Melanie watched her brother propose at the other table and her mouth was hanging wide open. “Garrett…did you just see that! Ian just proposed…and he never even talked to me about it! I mean, I’m happy for him, but he always talks to me about this stuff! I have to go and congratulate them!” Garrett laughed and pulled Melanie back down as she stood up to go over to their table. “Let them have a few minutes first Mel. Besides, here comes our food.” The waitress put the plates down in front of them and then also produced a bottle of champagne for the two of them. Garrett raised his glass to Melanie. “Melanie DeFoy, I haven’t known you much more than a month yet, but I know I’m in love with you. Now normally I’m a very steady kind of a guy who doesn’t get all rushed up in romance and emotion, but you do something to me. I told you earlier today that I loved you for the first time, but I’ve been in love with you since that first day you took me around campus. You are the most beautiful wonderful woman I’ve ever met, inside and out…” “Oh Garrett, I love you to.” Melanie was turning bright red as Garrett was toasting to her. She shyly looked down at her glass of champagne and then back up as Garrett pulled out a small black box. Her mouth fell open and she looked over at her brother and his new fiance to see Ian grinning at her, Lila still beaming from her proposal. She looked back at Garrett as he took her hand in his. “Melanie, please do me the honor of becoming my wife.” Melanie felt the tears well up in her eyes and she could barely speak. “Yes Garrett…yes…this just feels…right.” Garrett put the ring on her finger and kissed her. He then whispered in her ear softly. “I love you my beautiful bride to be.”
More pictures! Ian proposing to Lila (I love his expression here!) Notice Garrett and Melanie in the background! Lila admiring the ring! Garrett proposing to Melanie! Melanie admiring her ring! Melanie's reaction to Garrett's proposal (again something in the background, Ian and Lila making out!)
It wasn't easy! I took both Ian and Melanie to the campus, then used their cell phones to call Lila and Garrett. Since I have the insiminator downloaded I can select other sims not in my control and control them. So I did that with both of them. Garrett asked Melanie on the date, and Ian asked Lila. Both dates ended up being dream dates as everyone involved had the want to get engaged to their significant other. That made it a little easier!
Very sweet. Great photos. I love how they react. My current favorite was when Ariel proposed to Raj. He bounced up and down like a little girl. Very very very disturbing, since he's a scary looking vampire dude with tats and dreads.
That's so sweet and romantic! I hardly ever take pictures because I guess I just don't have the timing ingame. In RL though I love taking pictures. Ruthie
