Contestant's Name: Nina Entered on 5/15/2005 11:54:57 PM Carlo, my fiancee had called me at home and told me he had a really horrible day at work and that he was coming home and wanted to talk to me about it. When he came home he sat on the couch and started telling me what had happened and that he even had to bring work home. He proceded to pull an album out of his bag and gave it to me so I could read it. I didn't understand at first because it had my name on it. He told me to sit down and flip through it. On each page of the the album was a collage of memories of when I had first come to the USA from Brazil and at the bottom of each page there were two lines of a poem that he had written for me. On the second to last page there were pictures of engagement rings and a guy proposing and the lines of the poem said " will you make me the happiest soul in the world? " As I looked up he was on one knee and with the ring box opened in front of me, I couldn't help but to cry and hug him...and then I said "of course". It was really cute and romantic.
