So I know that some of you are wondering how he proposed so here it is.
My 25th birthday was on the 2nd May, which fell on a Sunday so he said he wanted to take me out for a special diner as it is a special birthday, you know turning 25. So i said ok, fine. He took me to Aloe Ridge Lodge, there is a lovely little restuarant there, you have to walk through a forest, very exciting and romantic. Unfortunately it wasn’t as clear as he wanted it to be but it was still very beautiful. We had diner in the restuarant, the restuarant is on like a cliff. Anyway so after we had eaten, and we were waiting for a delicious dessert we went upstairs onto the deck for a smoke, I broke my cigarette on the way up so he went back downstairs to get me a new one, while i was waiting for him i was looking at the sceneray it was just mountains and stars, it was STUNNING, when he came back I said “Look at the sky babe, the stars look absolutely beautiful” there were MILLIONS of stars, his response “Not as beautiful as you” so i jokingly said “I’ve trained you so well” anyway he pointed to something and i turned around to look at what he was pointing at, when i turned back to look at him, he was on one knee with box open, he told me he loved me and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and asked me to marry him. Of course I leaned over and kissed and said “Of course i will marry you” and kissed him.
So that is our fairytale, kind of cliched proposal, but it was perfect in everyway.
Here are some pics of the ring.
So we have not set a date yet, but we thinking January next year.
We going to look at bridesmaid dresses today, to get a estimated price, we also going to look at rings. We going on Tuesday to look at a venue. We need to get a budget in place, and then the fun begins. Will keep you updated.
On the baby making front. We have put that on hold for like 2 months. He is going back on the fertiboost at the end of the month, and see what happens.
Anyway, if you know of any photographers, florists, dress makers etc…please let me know. Looking forward to your comments.
