    Yay!!! thank you!! hee hee!

    Oh Engagement...- OH flew me to Tenerife (where we met) for a holiday, after a day at the beach he ran me a bath and while I was in the bath he decked the balcony with candles and champagne and when I came out he took me out there and then got down on one knee, it was amazing. I saw the ring on the table so i knew what was happening, I was so excited and he was launching into this long speech about how much he loved me and all the time I was getting so excited thinking just ask me and put the ring on my finger lol! It was a total suprise, i had no idea it was coming, and he even asked my dad for permission!

    Name: Susan (But everyone calls me Sid - go with it!)

    Age: 34

    Location: Birmingham

    Wedding Date: 24/09/10

    Wedding Venue: Alas, nowhere exotic! A nearby church in Shirley in Birmingham, then on to a local hotel.

    How you met OH? He joined the insurance company I work for 5 years ago. My boss moved my friend so that he could sit by me to be trained - which proper annoyed me. 4 months later he was confessing his feelings for me at the xmas party - but nothing happened as I was with someone. 4 months after that, I left my boyfriend of 11 years to give him a shot. The rest, as they say....

    Other: I came home after a trip to the dentist in April, to find him on one knee in the living room in a dinner suit and bow tie, with flowers in one hand and a ring in the other! It was about 2pm in the afternoon so not really sure why he went for the dinner suit...?! Hey ho! ?
