Khoei-Torres Proposal Story

She describes this as very fitting since the pair met because of chocolate and we fell in love because of chocolate.
Recounting the day, she says in an interview with Hitched Magazine:
We were both working late in the factory and he slipped the ring into a bowl of hot water. He asked me to get a scraper out of the bowl, but when I put my hand in it was blazing hot. I told him it was too hot and tried to offer him a different scraper, but he kept saying that he needed that particular one. I told him again I couldn’t get it because the water was so hot, so he put his hand in the water and his face turned bright red. He said, “It is really hot!”
Furthermore, she says that she started crying and shaking and moving away from her husband when he said something like “Will you have me,” or “Can you be with me?” she recalls that she was in total shock when Jacques tried to put the ring on her finger.
However, the ring got stuck on her knuckle, and through her tears, she remembers yelling “Push harder!”
