We've been friends for so long that I don't even remember what my life was like before you. We have always been together, in the good and the bad. You have accompanied me in all the important moments of my life and I am so grateful to you, which is why I also want you to join me in this one.

I've been dating my current girlfriend for four years, and I think it was time to take the plunge and ask her to marry me. And so I did. A week ago, on our little getaway to Italy, I asked her to marry me and she accepted.

I want to tell you so bad, I always thought that you and I would end up together in some way, at any time in our lives. But you have never given me any indication of it, so I have had to move on with my life.

Sophie, my fiancé, and I have decided to have a small party with our family and friends to tell you the good news. At one point, I raise my voice.

"Can I have your attention, please?" I say, with a smile on my lips. "Sophie and I have to give you some news..."

I looked directly at you, you had one eyebrow raised, you had no idea what was coming.

"We're getting married!" Sophie said excitedly, showing the diamond ring in her finger.
