Wealthy Proposal

Alicia and Brian has been seeing each other, dating for 3 years now. Coming from a poor family, Alicia marvelled at all the money Brian had sitting at his disposal. The money which he took for granted. See unlike Alicia, Brian had grown up in a wealthy family and for him, money had never been an issue because there was never a shortage of it.

Since meeting Alicia however, Brian had changed. Early on, Alicia had taken him to visit the poor villiage where she had grown up and many of the dates consisted of volunteering in homeless shelters and soup kitchens, where almost nobody had any money at all. After seeing all these things, Brian realised that money was in a way, a privellage. Well, the quantity of it you posessed was a privellage. With this new found knowledge, Brian changed his ways, giving much of his wealth to those in need, to those who could put it, in his words, "to much better use then he ever could have".

So two years later, on their fifth anniversary, Alicia came home to the apartment where she and Brian lived together only to find it empty. She turned on a light and sitting there in the middle of the spacious living area were the words 'marry me Alicia?' spelled out of not rose petals, but money. Alicia giggled and at that moment, Brian appeared, walking toward her. "Well Alicia," He asked, dropping to one knee in front of her. "Will you marry me?" "You spelt it in money!" Alicia gasped in reply. "Huh?" Brian asked, stunned. "Oh, yes. A tribute to the person I was before I met the most wonderful girl in the world and she changed me for the better." He explained. "The moment this is over, all this is going to the homeless shelter downtown." He added hastily, gesturing at the cash. "Yes." Alicia said after a long moment's silence. "Yes?" Again, Brian was confused. "Yes I'll marry you silly!" She said happily, excited. He slipped the golden ring on her finger before Alicia spoke again. "Mr Money Man." She added playfully, slapping the back of his leg.
