A (very) short interactive story about a defining moment for most of us in our lives.
Too bad, I wasn't able to finish this in time for the ranked event.
Anyway, there are really two parts to this entry:

That's a nice one. While I was playing the game I was worried if it had a sad ending. It doesn't. :)
It's a good one. I like the music and the words. And I like the ending.
Too bad. I'm single in real life. :(
I wonder if you're from UK or something. I notice that you spelled the word "realize" as "realise".
@Mensley, thank you for your feedback! You are very right about the audio changing too abruptly. As there is still some "Unrated" time left, I whipped up a quick crossfade option and published a new build.
Also, at first, I dabbled with the option for declining the marriage. I.e. say no and/or run away. But I found it very difficult to put into the story in a more or less natural way. I guess interactive fiction is hard.
@SadaleNet, thank you for your kind words. I'm from the Netherlands (almost UK I guess). I'm not really for sad endings - bittersweet maybe.
I'm gonna check whether you have entries too and if so will play and rate your games.
What a sweet game! The main audio during the game is really nice, so that was a good pick.
I did notice that there were a couple of typos/small errors, like "off" instead of "of" and either extra spaces between words when the narrative branched or missing spaces between words. But overall I like the story, it made me smile :)
@Sammy6, @thomastc being able to decline to marry was indeed one of the things I really would have liked to include, but I just couldn't get a story flow together where that would have made sense. I agree that it would have been awesome, i.e.:
Now to think of it, that seconds situation wouldn't have been that difficult to include: "Honey, there's just one thing you need to know about…"
Interactive storytelling in a jam, hmm. Taken that I'm writing an interactive novel at the moment I might as well say something.
Short and sweet. Too sappy for me, at least there was a little bit of drama. Apart from the typos the writing is adequate.
I can't help it, but whenever I read something along the lines of "you did X" it takes me right out of the story. I'm not part of the story, I will never be part of the story; the story is all about fictional people, I'm real! This is probably just me though.
Ehhhh, ah… I don't have enough experience with the medium to really get into the nitty gritty, whirly swirly, meat and taters mash of the storm, so I'll leave it at solid work!
Great game I would have enjoyed a possible less happy ending. the only thing is that the sounds didn't fow into eachother maybe you could have faded them in and out to make it sound better.
That was a different interpretation of falling, but it worked out so well
