That's really lovely, and so clever. I trust you had also removed all the "N"s and "O"s from the letter stash .

Want to see the ring, in your next blog please . I keep trying to see it on the weather bulletins but haven't caught a glimpse yet.


MSE techies (on the Techie board) are the BEST!!!
So are our rail ticket experts!

Always have a Plan B

What a fantastic way to propose, I can only dream LOL my DH is fantastic but his spelling leaves an awful lot to be desired so a game of scrabble is totally out of the question.

All good wishes for a long and happy marriage, when you get that far x

It's so lovely! I love a happy ending (or beginning, in this case ).

Many best wishes to you both.

PS When you do get married, please can you get someone to take a couple of photos that you don't mind sharing with the forums?

You played 8 games of scrabble on holiday I think Martin needs to visit the marriage board for some tips

congratulations to both.
