"Bill... what are you doing?" Steffi asked, trembling, shaking her head, unable to understand why Bill would do all this.
"Steffi... I know it might be too soon for you, but I can't hold back anymore. I want you to be my lifelong companion... my wife, my friend, the mother of my children, my queen... my buddy, and my support... Everything... I want to do everything with you," Bill said with a pleading expression. "I just want you... Please, give me a chance to be the man who will make you happy... Let's go through all the ups and downs of life together in a lawful marriage bond..."
Steffi choked; her throat felt dry, and her lips were too stiff to speak. She didn't know what to say, especially since everyone in the ballroom was looking at her with enthusiasm.
"Please... Marry me, Steffi Zoe Rodriguez..." Bill pleaded again.
"Come on, accept it. He's perfect for you!"
"Hey, don't waste this moment. He's very handsome!"
"Say yes, say yes, say yes!"
