Sheldon led Penelope to a private nave in the Parthenon. "Penelope Regina Queen, there is no doubt in my mind that you are the One for me. You understand me like no one has before. My soul feels complete with you. You are an enigma to me. I will enjoy spending the rest of my life trying to solve you. You are already the queen of my heart. My sweet Penelope, will you agree to be my lawfully wedded spouse?" Sheldon looked up at her from his kneeling position with his most charming expression.
A dainty tiara was perched upon my head. An emerald was the center of gold filigree with diamonds sprinkled about.
A half ponytail kept her hair from blowing into her astonished face because of the wind. A diamond stud was above dangles that were shaped like a tear with an emerald resting on the bottom of the inside of the tear. Penelope wore gold eyeliner with very little blush. Mascara defined her dark lashes even more.
Penelope's sundress resembled a toga, but stopped an inch before her knees. Wedged sandals encased her feet in gold.
Penelope mentally digested his proposal. (Will you marry me?) She had been expecting it for 3 months. She was grateful that he went to such lengths to make his proposal extraordinary. Sheldon made her feel like a queen.
"Yes with all my heart!" Penelope joyously cried as Sheldon slipped the heirloom ring on her finger. She tilted her hand up to admire the ring that was handed down to Sheldon.
"The inside inscription says I love you to the Moon and back." Sheldon informed her. He moved to embrace her from behind.
The newly engaged couple left the Parthenon for dinner at a quaint bistro called Yolanda's. The bistro served traditional Greek dishes like gyros with lamb meat and cucumber sauce. The tiramisu was to die for (Deliciously yummy).
Penelope snapped pictures of their meal along with the bistro.
The bistro had arches with artificial grape vines around the banisters. The wall's peach paint was applied with a sponge. A wine list on old parchment was laminated. The place smelled like spices and wine. French wine was imported, but there were a lot of native wines. An empty bottle of wine had a mini-string of lights inside on each table. The tabletops depicted scenes from Ancient Greek life from palace life to romance.
Sheldon ate stewed chicken with okra and baklava for dessert. Penelope ate a gyro with a raspberry tiramisu. The recently engaged pair sipped White Zinfandel, sharing a whole bottle.
The couple retired to their private suite to watch the Greek sunset over the Medittearian Sea.
