1111.Flowers and Full Moon (5/5)
As this line of flame words rose to the sky, people were shocked when they saw it clearly, and they began to discuss it:
"Is this a courtship declaration? Somebody's proposing, right?"
"Oh my God, it's incredible!
"Who did it? It's amazing, we can see it at a hundred meters, how fierce is this fire?"
"I'm going to pass out, how much does it cost? Tell me, which rich man is playing romance?"
Everyone, including Sophie's family, was looking out, and Li Du stood up to sort out his clothes.
When the word flame appeared, Sophie and her parents looked back at Li Du in shock, Li's father and mother couldn't recognize the letters inside, they didn't know why, but they also looked back at him.
Li Du landed on one knee, looked up and smiled, he snapped his fingers, Brother Wolf sent a small box over, Li Du opened the box, and inside was a pair of rings.
The ring is in the shape of a flower branch, and the face of the ring is a blooming petal with no buds, only a few petals around the edge, and a diamond set on it, which is extremely rounded.
"Miss Sophie Martin, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you, I loved you for a long time, really long. But I don't think it's long enough, I want to be with you longer, are you willing?" asked Li Du with his head tilted his head sincerely.
Sophie was still immersed in the shock of the boiling flames on the sea, and now that Li Du was confessing beside her, she instantly burst into tears.
Since Li's father and mother Li came to Los Angeles, she was ready to accept Li Du's confession, but she didn't expect him to confess with such a grand scene, which was far beyond her expectations.
The guests in the restaurant knew what was going on after listening to Li Du's words, and the warm applause suddenly rang out, and many people stood up and looked at them and applauded vigorously.
Old Mr. James was deeply proud, and he smiled: "I can prove it, Sophie, this boy has loved you for a long time, and the first time I saw him, he looked at you in the park with that look, the way I looked at your mother......"
Mrs. Martin took his hand, and the two turned their heads to look at each other, their eyes warm and lingering, a feeling that had been polished by the passage of time.
Sophie subconsciously covered her nose and mouth, and then pulled Li Du up, she stretched out her arm to wrap her arms around his back, and choked up: "Of course, of course, of course, I would like to be with you! I only accompanied you to Oceania and Africa, and there are many places that I haven't been to! Of course we have to go together!"
Applause and cheers continued to sound, many people were holding mobile phone cameras to take pictures and videos, and the restaurant had to arrange all the waiters to come up to calm everyone's emotions.
Someone shouted at Li Du: "Good boy, you can really handle it, this proposal may be the most expensive marriage proposal ceremony I have ever seen!"
"How do you do it just on the sea? Sprinkle fuel on the sea in advance? Impossible, how can you keep the pattern intact when the waves are surging like that?"
"There must be a ship towing the line of fire, God, it's too dangerous, right?"
"You should ask, it's too expensive, isn't it?"
Mrs. Martin was also curious about this, and asked, "How did you do it, just now at sea, it was amazing." ”
Li Du said: "It is a kind of fast submarine, two submarines are underwater, and then the fuel is continuously and quickly sprayed out through the pipeline. The handwriting is a model made in advance, and the model can spew oil and gas outward, and this is the principle. ”
The diners guessed right, this is very expensive, just the sea set, Li Du spent half a million dollars.
Of course, he felt that the money was well spent, and this was a proposal that JPMorgan Chase asked a professional wedding design company to help him come up with.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin began circulating Sophie's engagement ring, and they asked, "What does this ring mean? A flower holds a diamond, this is a diamond?
They didn't know Li Du's financial resources, and Sophie didn't know either.
Li Du smiled and said: "This is called a full moon, and your comparison is from a designer." ”
When he went to New York from Miami to thank Cole for his help, Li Du happened to have the idea of making some diamond rings, and told Cole the idea, and Cole helped make them.
This diamond ring is not only the diamond on the top is real, but the crystal clear leaves below are also made of real diamonds, and the Winston Group has given priority to rushing to work day and night to make it in these two days.
Sophie leaned on Li Du's shoulder, and her smile was sweet.
Li Du's parents were still looking at the ocean outside, the flames on the sea had been extinguished, it was just oil and gas, it burned fast, but it was actually extinguished quickly.
The two glanced at each other, and they both had some worries in their hearts, their son's marriage proposal cost a lot of money, what the hell is this doing in the United States, there is so much money.
Li Du explained that he was a student of Sophie's father, but just now Li's father was sensitive to it, and Sophie's parents were also very shocked when they saw the scene at sea, which showed that it was also very difficult for them to do this.
However, Sophie's parents are university professors, there is no doubt about this, they can trust their son, then they must have no problem with their son's character.
Father Li touched the back of his wife's hand and whispered, "We have to trust our son, can my son mess around?" Don't worry too much, come, smile." ”
Mother Li glared at him and said, "How can the old lady laugh? Look at your son, you are so bothered to propose, when you married the old lady, you were dragged back with a tricycle, can you compare?"
Father Li was dissatisfied: "Hey, you old lady, it's good to have a tricycle, I can borrow a tricycle, it's also my cow, it's much more majestic than those sports cars now!"
Sophie's originally moved tears filled her eyes and sobbed vigorously, but she was happy after listening to the quarrel of the two elders.
After a two-day trip to Los Angeles with his parents, and then they return to Phoenix together, Li Du is ready to get engaged.
Marriage is a lifelong event, and the wedding naturally has to choose an auspicious occasion, and the same is true for American weddings.
The process of an American wedding is generally that the marriage proposal is made first, the girl agrees, and is ready to get engaged, and if the engagement is successful, you can get married.
According to Li Du, Americans like to hold weddings in June. First, the weather at this time is the best, warm spring, and the wind and sunshine are beautiful.
The second is related to Roman mythology, the English word for June is JUNE, which is derived from the name of Juno, the goddess of love and marriage in Roman mythology.
As for the engagement, the time is not very important, as long as the relationship between the man and the woman is in place, you can prepare for this link.
But traditionally, if Li Du wants to get engaged, he can't propose directly, but first go to talk to Sophie's parents, and her parents think that Li Du is a man who can be entrusted to his daughter for the rest of his life, so they will agree to the engagement.
In the United States, engagement is just as important as marriage, and engagement also has rings, and once engaged, both parties can be called husband and wife.
Of course, this Li Du has already been given away, and the full moon diamond ring is an engagement ring.
In addition, the length of the engagement period in the United States is unpredictable and can last for weeks, months, or even years.
That said, the period between getting engaged and before getting married can be a long time. Some people are even ready to have children after getting engaged and will not get married for a long time.
Next, Li Du has to find a way to settle the Martin couple.
