Haha! He proposed on Thursday night, then we spent Friday telling our immediate families, Saturday telling aunts, uncles, grandmothers, then Sunday driving down to visit grandmothers and John's parents. It's been manic!
I got home on Thursday lunchtime and thought we were getting ready there and heading up to dinner in the evening, but then he surprised me and said he'd booked us into the Landmark Hotel near Marylebone, which we went to for our anniversary. It's not cheap, so he left it to the last minute to tell me so I couldn't tell him off! We headed up there and everyone was very smiley, and they'd upgraded us to a suite! We got up to our room and there was a bottle of champagne waiting, so we had some bubbly in the bath and slowly got ready for dinner. We were about to leave and I'd just redone my nails, and he took me by both hands and told me how much he loves me, and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It was all very emotional!
We went out to dinner and the restaurant knew too, so we got a table for 6 all to ourselves, tucked in the corner of a beautiful courtyard covered in fairylights. The waitress brought us over two glasses of champagne with the compliments of the chef! We had a gorgeous dinner just being giddy and enjoying the sparkliness of the ring under all the lights. When we got back to the hotel they had covered our bed in rose petals - very very sweet!
My sister's in Australia until August 2014 and I really want her involved in the planning so we're probably looking at Spring 2015, probably May. God knows what the scales will say this Wednesday - my eating and drinking has been all over the place - but it's about 21 months to the wedding so I just need to eek off 1lb a month to feel really happy on the big day! It starts...

It really was a perfect night! And he's gone totally overboard with the ring. It's so beautiful. He stashed the ring with friends up the road and the guy keeps making jokes about me having to cover it up because it's dazzling him even though he's down the street.

The ring is gorgeous, huge congratulations! He certainly did good
And MrsB, how stunning do you look?! I adore your flowers as well!
Sorry I've been a bit awol, Eilis is taking up a fair bit of time as you can imagine! Joined group again last night 'cause I'm really rubbish at doing this on my own and I like having the syns online as well. Absolutely knackered at the moment - Joe is back at work this week so it's Eilis & I's solo adventure starting...terrifying! He forgot to put her colic drops in her bottle this morning as well so she's been a right wee grump!

Oh em that's so beautiful! He is such a good egg.... is that why he picked a ring as big as an egg? Haha. It is so lovely. I had someone call to ask to be married in our church august 2015 last week so I wouldn't worry about the extra year of planning.
Mrsb2b you look so pretty and happy congratulations.
I'm currently crazed by weddings. I have two this weekend and as soon as one thing is fixed something else happens!
Claree you will be fine while your fella is at work. Babies bounce joking, but they are designed to survive first time parents (and jealous siblings)
Sorry I've been rubbish. Been feeling rather crappy so sulking with my friend dairy milk!

Haha! It is pretty blingy. I said to him I didn't care what he got me really as long as it was sparkly, and he's gone all out! It was more than I was expecting. I think it's scared half the guys at work who were contemplating proposing. A friend of ours up the road keeps sending me jokey messages complaining 'it's like bloody Bethlehem round her with the light shining off that thing!'
The nice accidental touch was that we had checked my ring size when I first started SW and I was an N. Knowing I'd lost weight he ordered an M but it's still too big! Unfortunately that means I have to take it back to have it resized so I'll have to leave it with them for a week (woe!). But, because he originally intended to propose on holiday next month (but the ring got made in 2 weeks instead of the estimated 8) he had a cheap silver and cubic zirconia copy made (so he didn't have to worry about losing it or having it stolen) so I have a backup!
