The tale of Joseph and Carmen is really intriguing. From strangers to friends to a couple to now an engaged couple, it all began with a stalk of a rose. A single stalk of roses that make them fall in love and started ever since then. 1 rose, the purest symbol of new love, or it could be “one and only love”, giving someone a single red rose symbolizes the giving of your heart. 

​

Love is so magical and mysterious that it can instill bravery and passionate in a person, Why I stated that? Joseph, who is frightened of heights, decided to go with Carmen when she rode the cable car without giving it any thought.

 

Additionally, Joseph, who isn't generally observant and passionate, is willing to construct Carmen a handmade, adorable tiny frame as a keepsake for their first Valentine's Day together. Even if it's only a small action, that's all that matters. A handmade present is always preferable to one purchased with money.  

​

Joseph made the decision to pop the question to Carmen on August 26 because he felt it was the ideal time for them both.

Carmen's schedule on the day of the proposal is to attend a half day class, then she would be asked to a cafe by friends for a catch-up, but it was planned so that Carmen wouldn't find out until she arrived. The cafe is intended to be a place for their proposals. When Carmen arrived, she was greeted by a group of friends who had given her a stalk of roses followed by presence of her parents, and a montage of memories was playing on the screen. The scene seems to be lively and happily. 

​

Overall, the surprise proposal was a huge success because Carmen never expected it. A proposal is one that reflects your love and commitment to your partner. It should be a meaningful and memorable moment for both of you, regardless of how extravagant or simple it may be.
