Chapter 30
"I love you sweetheart. Be happy." Alexa's dad said before he went beside his wife. And the intro of a song played and John started walking towards Alexa. Alexa's eyes started to well up again upon seeing her beloved.
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
As John singing the song, Alexa couldn't stop her tears from falling. All the people around also had tears in their eyes. They could feel the emotions on the song and on the person singing it.
"Alex, from the moment I saw you, I said to myself that you're the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life. We've been through a lot but we're able to overcome them. I thanked the Lord for bringing you into my life. You're my life, you're my soul, you're my heart." John said continuously. And then, he kneeled and got a box from his pocket. Looked up to Alexa and asked, "Will you grow old with me, Alex?" Eventhough the people around them knew that the answer would be "yes", still they were waiting nervously for Alexa's response. Both of the couples' parents were holding hands tightly. Myra, Bella, and Rain were excitedly waiting and if only given the chance, they will be the one answering the question immediately for their friend.
Alexa, eventhough had the idea of what's happening, she couldn't talk. Her tears were continuously falling from her eyes and she's sobbing already. She wanted to shout "YES, I want to be with you and spend the rest of my life with you together with our little ones but she knew she couldn't be fully understand by John and by the people around them because of her sobs. She calmed herself. She wanted to voice out the words. Until finally, "Yes, I wanna grow old with you together with our little ones!" John immediately put the ring on Alexa's finger and embraced her tightly. Alexa did the same and whispered "I love you so much."
"And I love you more." John said and then they kissed each other passionately. The people around them were very happy. Shouting congratulations and and can't prevent themselves to experience romantic excitement for the couple.
After the proposal, the ambiance was very light so again an intro of a song was played. All of their visitors shouted. And again John sings while holding her bride to be.
It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard
We can go
No one will know
Oh c'mon girl
Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of Patron
And it's on girl
Don't say no no no no no
Just say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And we'll go go go go go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Oh
I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bell sing like ooh
So what you wanna do
Lets just run girl
If we wake up and you want to break up
That's cool
No I won't blame you
It was fun girl
Don't say no no no no no
Just say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And we'll go go go go go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby, baby
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby, baby
Oh

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you.
