Michelle closed her office door after a hard day at work and headed towards the lift. She was feeling depressed - it was her 25th birthday and everybody wished her a happy birthday, except for her boyfriend. To make things even worse, the moment she stepped outside the building, it started raining cats and dogs. "What can I say... happy birthday to me, I guess". She started running towards the metro station when someone honked at her. She stopped, half surprised, half angry, then she saw that it was her boyfriend's car. "Hop in, sweetie! I have a surprise for you''. Alex explained to her that planned on gathering all of her friends in front of her office building as a surprise, but because of the rain, they had to improvise. He took her to an Italian restaurant where everybody was waiting for her, cheering, clapping, and singing happy birthday. Michelle couldn't feel happier until Alex got down on one knee and he popped the question: ''Do you want to marry me?" At that moment, feeling on cloud nine, she replied with tears in her eyes: ''Yes!''
