Sorry, had lots of phone calls to make. Still can't say it out loud without blubbing!

So he took me for a walk up Roseberry Topping, and on the way back down we stopped to rest on a log in a really pretty grove of oak trees, and he got down on one knee and asked me, and I said yes ofc!

Haven't got the ring yet, but hopefully the link should work... hoping it will arrive before Ireland at the weekend.

Well that sounds like a walk to remember! The ring is absolutely gorgeous - totally classic and timeless.

The ring is gorgeous and what a nice way to ask as well.

I have been doing my ebay listing (as no listing fee) and just happened to flip over to the thread. I looked at the listing scrolled down, shout out WOO and did a double take. I have to admit I filled up.

Fab Fab news - well done NIM

Woohooo CONGRATS to you both!!! How lovely. More details please!

Dinah93

Lol what else do you want to know?!

Everyone keeps asking us if we've set a date! Is that normal, to get down on one knee and ask 'Will you marry me, on the 21st May 2010'? 'No, busy that day? Oh well guess its off then!'

urg123

Am all smiley and happy for you - there's nothing like that mad giddy feeling. It's so much fun.

Have you really set the date for 21/5/10 or am I just being thick. If you are - you'll be getting married the week before me!

No no date set, just picked a random one! Everyone seems suprised we haven't set a date! We've been engaged less than a day!!! Surely we need to look into venues and the like, and work out where to magic up the money to pay for it all?!

urg123

Well I have no doubt at all that a) you can save the money for the wedding because past performance is a great future predictor and we all know that you can get there and b) that the wedding will be just wonderful with your great talents!
