A WAITER SERVED ME A DISH I DIDN’T ORDER — WHEN I COMPLAINED, HE WHISPERED “IT’S FROM YOUR HUSBAND.” IF ONLY I KNEW IT WAS SET UP. James and I celebrated our 14th anniversary at the restaurant. As usual, he presented me with a new utensils set because I love cooking, forgetting that I’m a woman who loves jewelry, fancy dresses, and massages (which he can afford). But okay, I just accepted him the way he is. Then, while he was in the bathroom, our waiter served me a salad I didn’t order. He added, “DON’T EAT IT. THERE’S A SURPRISE INSIDE FOR YOU FROM YOUR HUSBAND.” Like in a movie, I was so excited! I immediately started digging through the salad between the tomatoes and avocado, and suddenly found A RING. At that moment, James came back and saw what I had found. His face turned white, “WHERE DID YOU GET IT?” And suddenly I noticed the waiter’s smirking face.⬇Story continues in the first comment

For fourteen years I believed that the steadfast routine of marriage was an unspoken pledge, an enduring commitment to overcome life’s challenges together. My husband, James, and I had built a shared life founded on quiet habits, gentle glances, and an implicit promise of mutual support in both ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. In the soft glow of hope for our anniversary celebration, I longed for a grand, symbolic gesture—a touch of romance to remind me that our years together were cherished.
