It was their one-year anniversary. Jeremy took the lead and planned out their evening. Amber had no idea that Jeremy was orchestrating a heartfelt return to the place where their romance began, Cazbar. Jeremy had meticulously arranged every detail with the restaurant, crafting what would be the most beautiful proposal.

When they arrived at Cazbar, they were seated at the front of the restaurant, the very first table in front of their stage. Every evening there was a belly dancing show, and guests would be invited to participate. Their evening started as usual with appetizers and drinks. Jeremy kept going to the bathroom and was not eating much, which was unlike him.

The restaurant’s evening show started. Amber was nervous and thought she’d be asked to go on stage, but was relieved when the show was over and the dancer had not come to their table. Jeremy again left the table, and minutes later the dancer approached Amber, and said, “Somebody told me that you were a great dancer.” Amber joined the dancer on stage, and Jeremy shortly thereafter offered to join her. The dancer taught them some moves, then slowly made her way off the stage. Amber started to follow her, then Jeremy reached for her hand, keeping her on stage. In that moment, they found themselves alone on stage, the spotlight solely on them. They held hands, gazed into each other’s eyes, declaring his love and unwavering commitment to Amber, Jeremy got on one knee and asked Amber to marry him. Without hesitation, Amber said yes! The restaurant broke out in applause as they embraced and shared a passionate kiss on stage.

As they walked off stage, they were greeted with a cake and sparklers, with the cake on a board reading, “Will you marry me?” They spent the rest of their evening enjoying great food, taking in the moment, and full of thoughts of the future they would build together.
