Note: Happily, I do own the dvd, but sadly, I do not own anything having to do with the movie.
May 26th, 2008-Wyvern Ballroom, New York City—4:45 pm.
* I can't believe it. This is really happening.* Giselle thought. * 15 minutes from now, my life is going to change forever. Soon enough, I'm going to be (the second) Mrs. Robert Philip. * She smiled, as she back to that magical night 5 months earlier, when her now fiance' had asked her that all important question.
* Flashback— Robert, Giselle, and Morgan's apartment- December 26th, 2007- 8:30 pm.
She and Robert had finished watching tv, and snuggling on the couch. They headed into their bedroom, got their pajamas on, crawled into bed, and cuddled up close to each other. Then, out of nowhere, he practically jumped out of the bed.
"Robert, what's the matter?" she asked, concerned.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered a present that I forgot to give you earlier today. I'll be right back." He walked into their closet, found where he had hidden two boxes, one with a necklace, and the other with the ring, and turned out the light, before walking over to Giselle's side of the bed. He handed her the larger of the two boxes, and watched with anticipation as she opened it.
"Oh, Robert. It's beautiful. I love it!" They both leaned in for a kiss, before a quizzical look came over her face. "What does this key represent, though?"
"This key" he said, helping to fasten the necklace around her neck "represents the key to your heart, and, if you'll let me, I want to hold it forever." He then dropped down on one knee, and opened the smaller of the two boxes. She remembered very well that when he had done this, and she realized what he was about to do, that her hand had actually flown up to her mouth in shock. Right in front of her eyes was the most beautiful diamond ring she had ever laid eyes on. It had a band of six small diamond on top, a big one in the middle, and another band of six small diamonds on the bottom.
"Giselle, in the 7 months that we've known each other, each and every single day, I have found myself loving you more and more. In the beginning, it was only a special friendship, but one that eventually turned into love. Now, it has evolved into something else— something more wonderful, something more profound. Back then, when people would ask me why, I always had the answer in my heart. That it— there comes a point in one's life when, no matter how many times you say I love you, you will never feel that you have expressed yourself enough. That was how I knew back then that it was you. No matter what trials we encounter together, or how much time has passed, I know that our love will never fade, that we will always find strength in one another, and that we will continue to grow side by side. I believe in the truth of what we are. I will love you always, with every beat of my heart, and I would love nothing more than for you to take my hand, and walk with me through the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?"
By now, tears had started to flow freely down her face.
"Well, will you?"
"Yes. Yes, Robert, I would love to marry you." she managed to choke out.
He smiled that absolutely gorgeous smile of his, which in turn had caused her to smile. He slid the ring gently on her finger, she had gotten out bed, and he had picked her up and twirled her around in his arms. After having set her back down, they had both leaned in for a kiss. This was no ordinary kiss, though. It was a promise; a promise that one day, they would be husband and wife, and they honestly couldn't have been any happier.
Note: The name of the ballroom where the King & Queen's Ball takes place is actually Wyvern. If you look very very closely, and very very quickly at the sign that Robert and Giselle walk past in the first few minutes of That's How You Know, you can just barely make out the date, time, and location.
