thanks mark, her father, with tears in his eyes, told me that with that surprise i had gained tons of points and had won the entire family over,her girlfriends and family all told me that i had them in the palm of my hand but i had already won them over when i was there in jan, this just secured my place in their hearts as they said. i never thought i would be doing stuff like this but seeing the looks on their faces....priceless

WOW - great story

I surprised my wife when I asked her to marry me.
Everyone in her family and her friends knew I was coming to ask her to marry me. The best part was NO ONE let the cat out of the bag.
We had about 100 people at the restaurant waiting for us to show up. Our Mariachi band was a little late though.

The hardest thing now is - how are you going to top that when you do ask her to marry?
Do they do sky writing in Colombia???

TE AMO PERU!!!!

Jediknight,

That was truly a beautiful story.  I hope that someday, I will have the opportunity to do sweet things like that for a sweet special lady. The lady I am corresponding with in Cali has definite potential; but only time will tell.  Best of luck for you and your novia.  Let us know when the "wedding bells" get started! ha

JK

  I would have love to see the look on her face when she saw you. I really
thought that was a fantastic ideal. How did you get everyone not to tell her? I
think if I tried to surprise my wife she would have one of her sisters or
mother tell her I was coming there, but I am glad everything is really working
out well for you.

absolutly no one knew i was going to colombia, only that there was going to be a surprise that night,  i had asked her uncle to tell everyone to please be there because i was sending her something that would arrive in the evening and not to say anything and since she is loved by everyone, noone wanted to spoil it for her,so when the band showed up that night everyone thought that was the surprise, noone imagined that i would show up. while i was talking to her on the phone she was telling me how much everyone was thrilled that i had sent her that gift..
