The setting sun painted the sky orange and purple, creating the perfect backdrop for your and Matthias’ four-year anniversary. They chose a small park by the lake, a simple place, filled with colorful tulips in full bloom. A gentle breeze ruffled your long hair, as you sat on a picnic blanket, surrounded by the snacks they had prepared.

Matthias, with that gentle smile that always made your heart flutter, pulled you closer. He took a strand of your hair that was blowing in the wind, and with a skillful movement, he began to braid it into a beautiful braid. The touch of his fingers was so gentle, so loving, making you feel like a princess in a fairy tale.

When the last braid was perfectly tied, Matthias bent down, kissing your cheek gently. Then, he looked into your eyes, his eyes sparkling with love and happiness.

"Darling." he said "Look... your hair looks neater and prettier now"

He took your hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it reverently.

"Darling, I promise to marry you next week, in the place we've always dreamed of. Are you willing?" while holding your small hand.
