The Proposal

I guess I should start by telling you a little about how the proposal went, as it’s there that the planning really started (okay, I admit, there may have been a wedding magazine or two bought prior to that!).

I’m not the sort of person that likes everybody looking at me, so the idea of a public proposal was terrifying, luckily my wonderful partner took this into account and proposed on the privacy of our own home. I knew the proposal was coming as I’d had the ring designed (I’ll do a separate post on that!), but I didn’t know when. I certainly didn’t think it was going to be at the time it was, I’d been in work all day and we were heading off to a house party that evening.

So, whilst I was at work the H2B set about preparing a tea party for me (I do love afternoon tea), he baked scones, bought clotted cream and jam and set the dining table up to resemble a tea room. He then bought little french fancies and iced the words “will u marry me” on them, these were laid out on the cake stand and the ring was tied to the handle. There was no big romantic speech or overblown gestures. Just the H2B knowing what I’d want and getting it perfectly right.
