I'm Eli, and I have a girlfriend.
Her name is Kate. She loves to sing and play different kinds of instrument.
Her most favourite song was 'Marry Your Daughter' by Brian Mcknight.
One day, I asked her why she loved that song so much. She answered me, " I want that song to be played when you ask my father for my hand and maybe on the day of our marriage too."
I smiled at her answer. She really is the sweetest. I can't imagine living my life without her.

'Sir, I'm a bit nervous 'bout being here today.
Still not real sure what I'm goin' to say.
So bare with me please if I take up too much of your time.~'
As I was singing the lyrics of the song with a smile on my lips, I saw Kate with tears in her eyes. She must be very happy.

'You see in this box is a ring for your oldest.
She's my everything and all that I know is, It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side.~'
As I continued singing in front of Kate's father. I saw the happiness in his eyes. And with that, I smiled, again.
As the song was finished, I looked around and when I finally met Kate's eyes, I nod my head and mouthed 'Thank you'.
I slowly walked towards the woman whom I'm gonna marry.
The woman whom I'm gonna be with for my entire life.
The woman named Kiella, Kate's older sister.
