And I said, “Yes!” Now, calm down. Lemme tell you the full story. “I’ll make this post short & sweet. And by the time I’m done, you’ll feel one or more of these emotions: happy, jealous, confused, curious, doubtful, angry…. did I mention angry already? Hehehe.”
Remember My Valentine??? Yes, the very same one who surprised me on Valentine’s Day. Let’s just say he’s full of surprises. And I’m really, really sorry for not telling you about the full story of our relationship. I just didn’t want to put everything out there. Sometimes, one has to keep somethings personal. In my next post, I’ll be sure to give you details. Everything you want to know, I will tell you. But for now, rejoice with me on this please…!! 🙂
The Proposal: I came home yesterday to an empty house – no surprises there. I did the usual thing. Dropped my bag on the table, took my shoes off, and headed for the bathroom to empty my bladder. While in there, I kept singing this funny song, “I’m married to Jesus/Satan leave me alone…” Ever heard??
Anyway, I got out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen to get something to eat. I had just put some rice into the microwave when a classmate called me, so I picked up the phone. The earring I was wearing (also known as my everyday earring) tends to scratch the screen of my phone, so I took the earring off and proceeded to my bedroom to drop it on my dresser. I opened the door and met the shock of my life.
There he was – all six feet plus of him, on one bended knee, candles lit everywhere, and rose petals on the floor. I didn’t know what to say. It felt like I stood there forever. I didn’t even know when I started crying. I knew the significance of a man on one bended knee, but I didn’t know why he was on one bended knee. In my shock, I went to him and knelt down beside him, crying. I forgot I wasn’t supposed to be kneeling down. He said a bunch of things. I don’t remember now, but it didn’t matter. I let him slip that beautiful ring on my finger. I haven’t been able to stop looking at it and taking pictures of my finger. It was only after the kiss that I realized other people were in the room: my mother, my father, Funmi, Busola, Uju, Ireti, and a camcorder! I was crying. He was crying. Mom was crying. My friends were crying. Ireti was laughing. I think I saw a lone tear on dad’s face, but he quickly wiped it off. I don’t know what I did to deserve such a wonderful, wonderful man.
p.s. Now, if you believed the story you just read, please help me slap yourself twice: the first slap is for being so gullible. The second slap is for forgetting it’s April Fool’s Day.
p.p.s. The hand and the ring in the picture both belong to me. I keep the ring (and a wedding band) in my wallet because sometimes, I feel like being married. More like, sometimes I don’t feel like being single. Actually, sometimes, I just don’t feel like being flirted with. There, I said it.
p.p.p.s. You probably didn’t notice, but in the first paragraph of this post, the words in quotations are in quotations and italicized for a reason: I stole the entire line from the post about. My Valentine. Tehehe. The only difference is that I replaced ‘jealous’ with ‘angry’ (the one in bold). So uhm, are you angry now?? Tehehehehehehehe.
p.p.p.p.s. My earring really does have that effect on my phone, and I really do take it off a lot of times. So you see…. this post isn’t a lie. Let’s just say I embelished the truth a wee little bit.
first?it must be april fool’s day indeed

I don’t believe it! Can you imagine pulling that fast one on us? I can’t stop laughing!
AH!
I’ve been so wary of april fool’s all this morning but when I came to blogger I completely forgot and totally believed this. It was a really beautiful story though, lol

Are you revealing yourself in bits? Eyes first then left hand? lol…
Oh Vera. That was good. I knew from the off! I had to see what story you had planned.
VERA! U no catch me for this one sha. As soon as i saw the the title, i just knew it was April Fool u wanted to do for us, so me i didn’t chop at all.
But the story was very “morantic” sha. But this one wey ur whole family witness d proposal, na wa oh!
Don’t worry, dreaming is a good thing. Dreams do come true.
When I saw the title and the supposed person that proposed, I sure knew you were kidding. So, no need slapping me.

Can I ever be mad at you? I can only tease ya and I am waiting till I fall o
When I started reading, I thought.. this doesn’t look like the ring Vera described previously. If anything, more like the ring she scoffed at so it cant be true.
But, when you said you were lying and took time to ‘convince’ us that you were… now. I am thinking maybe the real April fool’s is telling us bits of a truth without us taking you up on it.
or maybe, I am thinking too much early in the morng.
Nice one…
WOW……lol…when i looked at the ring i thot to myself you are either lying or unhappily engaged because that ring didnt look anything close to the rock you were describing in your earlier post…i was still fooled if that makes you feel any 🙁 …..hehehehhehe…that was fun!
Knowing u Vera, it just had to be an April Fool Move. Nice one though, really nice. I almost believed you too. But anything as good as that on April Fool’s Day is just that … too good to be true. Very good attempt though.
p.s. Can’t wait for it to be true.
p.p.s. Nice hands. They yours? *wink*
LMAO!!! i sooo fell for this one, and this has to be the 3rd April fool prank i’m falling for today. Ddnt realise i was that gullible.
Funny girl u are, but i do hope that scene plays out soon for u. You described it beautifully.
Come here, bring your hand out for 5 STROKES OF THE CANE!!!
Ah-ah! dont toy with my emotion like that!!
LOL!
You sooooooooooo got me..
I’ll keep you in my prayers
I knew this was such an april’s fool!!!! I was like Engaged ke…already?!?1?1 a whole Verastic Vera!!..loool…good one tho! Ohh I like your nails.

This is the second time I’m being fooled today. I was jumping up for joy. You are definitely “one of a kind”.
I have slapped myself twice! Punch my right hand, kicked my head and I can’t believe I was fooled even after I knew it was valentine’s day!
Vera, this was very unfair…ah ah…I was almost crying with the rest of them!….schewww…
I have to get you back..watch out for stuff in the mail…muhahahahahaha

P.s My first time here and i defn have to come back for more…Well at least i got to laugh proper before going to bed. Thanks
hahahaha, oh man, this was a good one vera….
havent you heard that if a girl wears leather wrist watch, he rhusband ought to be able to afford gold one for her. In other words, if you bought the engagement ring for yourself, Mr. man ought to provide one wey fit top that one.
Now, i know how you visualize your proposal….the guy better take a hint
Vera! Vera!! Vera!!!
How many times did i call you?
you are not a very nice person o
to think thatg i was almost in tears too.

I fell for this hook,line and sinker..
And it sounded so real and true and I even had a misty eye.. Not fair… pls don’t be making such an expensive joke whether is April fool or not…I’m not happy at all..
At first I suspected but when you talked about the crying I just confirmed that it was fable.
oh my! just so u know…I actually just gave myself dose 2 slaps…dey were well deserved…lol
u killed it. I was actually saying an “aw” for u when u said u knelt down with him. well done girl. I guess thats how u imagine a perfect proposal. take heart. may not be too far in sight. and I might just take you up on that wedding band thing for next time I am in lagos.
Standtall: Awww. I love you right back, love. Thank you for being ever understanding. Don’t worry; you will fall for my antics sooner than later. I’m watching you, young woman! LOL
Sleekiest: You’re definitely thinking too much. lol. But now that I have told you that, I feel like I have only served to increase your doubt and curiousity. If that is the case, then I am a winner. Hehehe. You said this ring is not good? Ahhh! Una don kill pesin 4 here oo.
Faith Heals, Love Saves: Hahaha. Unhappily engaged?? Tufia kwa! I won’t even be blogging about it if that were the case. So you too think the ring is bad ehn? Goodness! Anyways, the most important thing is that you fell. Up Vera.
B’Dazzle: So you didn’t fall ehn? Better luck for me next time. And yes, the hand is mine. Thank you, very much. But wait oh… isn’t it possible to get a proposal that is this nice on Valentine’s Day? And I can’t wait 4 it to be true either. *wink*
Quagger: 3rd April fool prank you’re falling for at only 11am (my time)? LOL!! That’s too funny. I shudder to think of how many more you may have fallen for. I’m waiting 4 the scene to play out too. Hehehehe

Remi: Hahahaha. Over excitement dey worry you ehn? LOL. Hahahaha. Ehm,don’t worry ehn… you will be top four soon. But babe, you’re not too far away from it right now oh…. **snickering**
Gochi: Well, it’s a mighty big room that has nooks and crannies where people can hide. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. No1 can prove that it’s a little room that barely has enough space for me to walk by. Hehehe. Thanks for stopping by!
Naija Girl: LOL!! You know, I don't really know how I visualize my engagement. What I know is that I wanna be totally taken by surprise in the most uncommon way. Okay, just to reinforce, I am still talking about the proposal; for some reason, that line about being taken by surprise sounds naughty. LOL

I knew this would happen, that was why I didn’t visit this blog yesterday.
I just knew that Vera would plant an April Fool’s story even if no one else did. I just respected myself and stayed away jeje.
Somehow, the picture gave the story away though, it just didn’t gel with the story in my head. I kept coming back to look at the ring like something is not right here and I don’t know what it was.
Nice one.
Vera, I read this in the car yesterday! While I was driving. Can you believe? My husband was in panic mode…scared for our lives. I was like OMG! This chic knows how to keep a secret. Wow! Then I kept reading and it dawned on me that it was April fool’s day, but I kept reading nonetheless. To find out that it was all a hoax. Lol..lol..lol..lol. Trust me, I read your blog on my phone each time you update, It’s just impossible to leave a comment from the phone. Further, I’m usually hurt because I don’t get the post until 24hrs later. I’m signed up to your blog to receive daily updates, but it’s always LATE!!! And as it happens, I’m usually one of the last to comment – if not the last 🙁 That’s not encouraging, sweetie pie 🙂
Congratulations sha. Lol. Many more blessings! Muah! You got us good 🙂
HA!!!!!

Grrr…
I’m posting after April 1st and I still fell for this…
Psheeewwww!
It is a big fat frigging nasty LIE…that is not your hand!
N.I.M.M.O: LOL. So you too think something is wrong with the ring? Walahi, something is wrong with you all. And you’re banned from not visiting my blog on certain days. Yes, I mean that henceforth, you MUST visit on such days as April Fool’s Day and YE must fall 4 my tricks. Gat it?
Folake: LOL. Awwww. Poor darling. I’m flattered that you read this while driving, but don’t try that again ooo! LOL. I usually update during the early hours every three days, if that helps.
Solomon Sydelle: She sure did! Wetin na? U dey jealous am? lol
ADifferentNaijaSpec: Nothing says welcome like a dose of an April Fool’s joke, ehn? Don’t worry; there won’t be another joke till next year – I think.
Poetically Tinted: Did you fall?
Doja: LOL. I don’t mind @ all. That was my prayer anyway. I just hope you slapped yourself.
G FUNC: LOL. Well, may God be praised. Thank you.
Afronuts: I hope you slapped yourself ooo! Don’t think that being a father-to-be will excuse you from this. Reward yourself immediately. And whatdya mean it’s not my hand? Is it yours? LOL. Jealously, jealousy!
LoLz.. you sure know how!!

Ochuko: Yes, ke! Y not, if not? Did you fall flat?
Jayla: Indeed, I no go kill pesin. I go just bring am close to his/her death – in a good way, of course.
Ochuko: Yes. Honestly, they are unmanicured. They’re just in their natural state. Well, I filed them, of course… but that was a while ago, and that’s all I did to it.
