Surprising is not always an easy task. Especially when it comes to the person who knows you best. As Louis Ducruet puts it so well himself, in the columns of Point of viewon newsstands this Wednesday, April 13, Marie Chevallier and him having known each other at the age of 19, they know each other today “by heart“. So necessarily to hide his marriage proposal from him, it was not the most obvious. To our colleagues, the son of Stéphanie of Monaco and Daniel Ducruet explains how he managed to keep this marriage proposal secret.
“I think of the preparation of my marriage proposal that I had set up in the greatest secrecy during a trip to Vietnam that Marie had organizedsays Louis Ducruet. I had managed to keep it confidential, while she knows that I am not always able to keep a secret!“But this time, the brother of Pauline Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb succeeded. The soon-to-be 30-year-old Monegasque is even rather proud of his achievement, as he says:”She didn’t see it coming.“
A traditional request
It is therefore on a date close to that of the anniversary of their relationship that the one who dreams today of expanding the family has launched. “I had asked him to trust me to organize this birthday dinnerhe reveals. As we were packing, I asked her to pick up a nice dress. For my part, I had planned to bring a costume…“If Marie Chevallier admits having asked herself a few questions, she nevertheless did not achieve everything.
During dinner in a sumptuous place, the young woman of almost 30 years then asked him what his marriage proposal would look like. He then told him that he would arrive by parachute in the middle of the Louis-II stadium in Monaco. A statement that remains for the sister-in-law of Camille Gottlieb and Pauline Ducruet his “fondest memory“of his confession.”I had been touched by his desire to do things the traditional way“, she says after Louis Ducruet went to ask his brothers for his hand – his father having died. “And he proposed to me in my mother’s country – and city – of origin, concludes Marie Chevallier. It’s very strong.“
