Several families were in attendance for Boit's birthday at Saisaki West Avenue, including his girlfriend Dionne's family, w/c will become more apparent in a while.
Everyone was just about done with their lunch buffet meals. Mini-cakes from Bizu (and a pie-sized one from Saisaki) were brought out. The kids sung and blew on the candles, as did Boit and Dionne.
And while they held hands under the table, Boit slowly brought them up and subtly placed an engagement ring on Dionne's finger. No shock nor awe from her part (and if there was it must have been internal since I couldn't capture it on the vidcam), but all smiles. My side of the family already knew what was planned, so all that was left was for her to show the ring to her side of the family (w/c she did).
Frankly I think my brother was expecting something more akin to a Hallmark Moment: tears, hugs, girly screaming, the works. I probably should've told him from experience that male fantasies hardly/never turn out the way you... fantasize about them. That, and subtle begets subtle. Wouldn't have hurt for him to actually get down on one knee (sticky floor notwithstanding) and/or actually pop the question.
But whadda I know? I'm single.
