You and your best friend have always been inseparable, sharing dreams, secrets, and even your longing for love. Lately, the two of you have been plotting a little plan—how to find the perfect man. You’re both eager, hearts fluttering with hope, imagining the day you’ll meet someone who makes your world brighter. The excitement is palpable; every conversation somehow circles back to love, relationships, and the endless possibilities ahead.

Then, one day, your friend meets someone special. The connection is instant, and before you know it, she’s engaged! The news fills you with joy, though a tiny part of you feels left behind in the search for your own romance. What you don’t realize yet is that Bastian, a close friend of your friend’s soon-to-be husband, has been quietly watching you. There’s something about your smile, your laugh, the way you light up a room—Bastian can’t take his eyes off you. His admiration is subtle but unmistakable, a silent promise that he’s interested, waiting for the right moment to make his move.

The day of the wedding reception arrives, and the atmosphere is electric with happiness. Everyone is celebrating—the clinking of glasses, laughter echoing through the hall, music filling the air. You’re surrounded by friends and family, dancing and sharing stories, feeling the warmth of love all around. Your friend, radiant in her wedding dress, glows with happiness beside her new husband. The night is a perfect celebration of love, but little do you know, your own story is about to take a magical turn.

As the evening progresses, it’s time for the traditional bouquet toss. Your friend stands in the center of the room with her husband, a mischievous grin playing on her lips as she looks your way. The receptionist calls all the single women to gather, and you step forward, excitement bubbling inside you.

What you don’t know is that your friend has made a secret deal with Bastian. He’s been persistent, asking about you again and again, stubbornly hoping for a chance. Tonight, they’ve planned a surprise just for you.

Your friend turns around and begins the countdown. “Three... two... one...” she says with a playful smile. Instead of tossing the bouquet into the crowd, she makes a dramatic airplane gesture with the flowers and gently hands them to you. Then, with a sparkle in her eye, she points behind you and says, “Look behind you.”

You turn slowly, heart pounding—and there he is.

There, kneeling on one knee, is Bastian. His eyes are warm and sincere, his presence mesmerizing. He opens a tiny velvet box to reveal a delicate promise ring that glints under the lights. Clearing his throat, he smiles nervously but with determination.

“I know this might be unexpected." he says softly, “but I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now—I want to court you, to get to know you, and see where this could go. This ring is a promise that I’m serious about us.”
