United Wisanto + Fina

“Fina,

Thank you for loving me as you do, unconditionally, despite knowing me through and through, thank you Fina for saying Yes and agreeing to spend your life with me. I am without doubt the luckiest man in the world.

People ask me all the time: How do you know that Fina’s the one for you? How do you know?

Well, for me the answer is that it’s a gradual process of different degrees of illumination over time.

I first thought that maybe she was the one when I saw her on my first day in class and she was sitting behind me. She liked to poke me using her pen to talk to me. Whenever she did that, I turned and she smiled, and it took my breath away. 

I first thought that she was very likely to be the one when I was going through a period when everything I did seemed to go wrong and she told me that everything would be okay and that she would always be by my side.

I first thought that she was probably the one when I did something to surprise her and when she threw her arms around me I realised that her happiness meant more to me than anything else in this world.

And I knew for sure that she was the one when in the middle of proposing to her, when I was down on one knee, I suddenly lost confidence and I asked in a moment of self doubt could you marry me instead of will you marry me and she took me by my shoulders, looked me squarely in the eyes and said in a clear firm voice,

 I will.”
