"Vaughn, this is beautiful," she said with sparkling eyes.
"Not as beautiful as you. Nothing is as beautiful as you," I said causing her to blush.
Then a waiter came and poured red wine into our glasses and I heard a violin playing in the background.
"I love you," said Sydney as she looked back up at me.
"I'm glad you feel that way because I have something to say to you," I said. "Vous êtes mon coeur, mon âme, mon monde entier. Vous êtes mes pensées, mes rêves, mes espoirs. Vous êtes ma raison pour respirer. Vous êtes ma raison pour habiter. Vous êtes mon tout--You are my heart, my soul, my whole world. You are my thoughts, my dreams, my hopes. You are my reason to breathe. You are my reason to live. You are my everything. Sydney, what I'm trying to say is that I love you. Will you marry me?"
I pulled a small black velvet box out of my pocket and opened it to reveal a sparkling diamond ring. Sydney's eyes filled with tears as she said, "Nothing in the world would make me happier." I slipped the ring on her finger and we shared a kiss unlike any other.
