Write about when your husband proposed to you. Focus on sequence and grammar. 

On a normal Saturday afternoon, my boyfriend asked me out to watch the new “Captain America” movie, which was little strange because he wasn’t a fan of superhero movie and usually I was the one who bought the tickets. But I didn’t think much and thought that it was a normal date. Even when we ran into my high school friend on our way to the cinema, I just said hi to her and thought how coincident it was. We were a bit late, and when we finally seated, the film had already started. I quite enjoyed the film despite that my boyfriend left his seat third times for water, ice-cream and bathroom. When I was waiting for the bonus scene at the end, the screen suddenly went black. In a second, my favorite cartoon bear showed up on it and then a video made of our photos was playing. I realized what was happening at once, but I still didn’t know what to do until his sister came leading me to the stage and then I saw all my friends and his family were there. He came to me with a big bouquet and a microphone. He said that meeting me is the luckiest thing in his life. It was like playing a claw machine and he finally got the one he want. My husband proposed to me in a quite unexpected way.

I think my husband is very thoughtful of it. He planned this a few weeks ahead and secretly called my friends to be there and he tried very hard to keep me in the dark/out of the loop. Although it wasn’t the proposal I had imagined, I really like his way of doing it.

Last spring on a normal Saturday afternoon, my boyfriend asked me out to watch the new “Captain America” movie, which was a little strange because he wasn’t a fan of superhero movies and usually I am the one who buys the tickets. But I didn’t think much of it and thought that it was a normal date. Even when we ran into my high school friend on our way to the cinema, I just said hi to her and thought what coincident it was. We were a bit late, and when we finally sat down/were seated, the film had already started.

I quite enjoyed the film despite my boyfriend leaving his seat three times for water, ice-cream and the bathroom.

or

I quite enjoyed the movie despite the fact that my boyfriend had gotten up three times for water, ice cream, and a bathroom break.

When I was waiting for the bonus scene at the end, the screen suddenly went black. Instantly/In a split second/In a flash, my favorite cartoon bear showed up and then a slideshow of us was playing. I realized what was happening at once, but I still didn’t know what to do until his sister came out of nowhere and led me to the stage and then I saw all my friends and his family were there. He came to me with a big bouquet and a microphone. He said that meeting me was the luckiest thing in his life. It was like playing a claw machine and he finally got the one he wanted. My husband proposed to me in a quite unexpected way.

I think my husband was very thoughtful. He planned this a few weeks ahead and secretly called my friends to be there and he tried very hard to keep me in the dark/out of the loop. Although it wasn’t the proposal I had imagined, I really like his proposal/way of doing it.
