so Alex left and Julian asked...so cool..and nonchalantly...do you want to go into the park?..hehe..of course, i wondered if he was going to propose..but he was so relaxed..hmmmm???
so..
Julian and I met in Ma'anshan, China in October 2011. He was there working at a paper mill..he had 3 weeks left in China..and I was there for a year teaching English. In the next 5 months we spent ever day together possible. Julian came back to China to see me 3 times and he and i spent Christmas together in Canada. In March 2012 while on a walk in Yu Shan Hu (park) (across from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, the same hotel where Julian was staying when we met)..we told each other that we would someday marry, we would find a way to put our two lives together so we could be together. This is what we new for sure..that we were completely in love!..and we had both found the partner we had been waiting for. We want to be together for the rest of our lives......!!..and Julian took me to a little shop ..and bought me a little ring..a commitment from him, until the day he actually proposes!

So can you imagine how it felt?? So surreal and magical.. for us to back
in Ma'anshan together FOR ONLY 4 DAYS!!....staying at the same hotel,
walking through the same park..sitting on the same bench where we
professed our love to each other 14 months earlier..
and Julian without warning..got down on his knee in front of me and a
group of curious Chinese..and he proposed!..It was just beautiful..and
so thoughtful ..and so full of love and tears...and he had a lovely
ring..that he bought so carefully, on his own..:):)
Although i suspected he might propose in that spot on that day..The
tears flowed and the feelings between us were incredible. Julian tried
to propose 3 times..with me interrupting him..and then he would start
again..It was so lovely..such a special moment.
NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD EXISTED AT THAT MOMENT!
we had 4 lovely days in Ma'anshan before Julian left on a train back to
work in southern China and i got on a plane back to Germany.
