BF asked me to marry him !!! So we are now engaged
It was very sweet, he went down on one knee on Sunday night. He was supposed to ask me on holiday next week and do the beach/harbour/sunset or suitably romantic thing, but he couldnt wait and wanted me to know he DID want to marry me...I didnt have a clue! He has been planning to ask me since he was in Greece, but he wanted to find the perfect ring first and its taken him this long to find it!! Very sweet and he asked my Dad for permission too which is lovely of him as my Dad was dead chuffed.
So.. wow, who'd have thought it hey, this time last year, but all of that is well and truly behind us now and I'm very excited our future together. We cant stop smiling at each other!!
Just need to get the MRI done now, Thursday. (I do have that book, I got it at 22 its excellent isnt it!.) xxx

Sooooo, I am FINALLY going to be Guest of Honor in a British Wedding!!! Gosh!! I'll wear a hat and gloves and a tight glove fitting dress and you better have all the eligible young men lined up for me my dear!!! (in case H still doenst want to touch me )...
When is the wedding? You have to tell me so I can book tickets, hotels etc etc... I am starting to write up that speech I have promised. (I am still waiting for Lisa and her wedding as well.) I am VERY VERY happy for you my darling. Your friend Maria
Kat, Mish, Julia, Jeff.. thank you SO much! Hey it was a joint effort for a while there and thanks to all you guys, yes, made it to here and we do have a better R than ever before.
Maria - thanks to you to my friend. It will hopefully be in the summer, this year, if not next year (no idea!) but you will need a hat and gloves, becuase a British summer is like your winter !! I'm getting nervous about this speech already ;-) but yes, you will most definetly be guest of honour.
So its a beautiful ring, very classy and elegant. To think he had already decided months ago and I was really wondering why he hadnt asked me! I was just joking to him the other day that he was secretive and he insisted he wasnt! Ha, well, good at keeping secrets I would say. I couldnt have kept that quiet for 5 months!!
Becuase it was impromptu, we had to celebrate with a premade supermarket lasagne, oven chips, salad and a bottle of Cava !! Hey we know how to live the high life
But then he ran and got his ipod and speakers and played THAT song, the one I posted here a few times (The Longpigs, On and On), the one that used to make me cry when I missed him so dreadfully, our song.. which he took to be our song too. He told me a few months ago that he would never listen to the Longpigs when he was with Helen, he couldnt bare to (guess she must have tried to!)..anyway, so he played it and it made me cry all over again as we had a slow dance round the lounge.
I cant believe you can go from being SO devastated, to SO happy, happier than ever, in the space of a year. We have no plans yet, but I want it to be a FUN wedding and everyone to have time to get to know each other and a band and relaxed and informal and.. well, I need to rob a bank to afford it, but it will be magical.
