He finally got down on one knee :)

I am finally engaged Smiley smile I have been a lurker for a while now, since a quiet patch at work when i found hitched and got obsessed. At the time I was going to be a bridesmaid so used that as a excuse, though really been gathering my own ideas - I signed up a few months ago to help my friend out.

Boy and me have been together 4 years, lived together the whole time (met living in a shared house). I have been obsessed with weddings most of my life and always been building what I want in my head - now I just have to narrow this down and get a day that will work and is at a reasonable cost Smiley smile.

He proposed at the centre of the maze in Hampton Court (well just round the corner there were some kids waiting to surprise their parents and didn't want to do it in front of them), with a beautiful ring which I love. In the morning he had taken me ice skating (which he always said he wouldn't do) and then we walked around the grounds, then in the evening we went to Chez Bruce restaurant. The ring is a little small so currently on my small finger, we have ordered the correct size so hopefully that comes quickly! Luckily they let me keep the small one Smiley smile)

I would like to get married October 2012 if I can find a venue and get it organized - where you lovely people come in Smiley smile

    Congrats! You're probably the complete opposite to me in terms of bride style (I have absolutely no idea of what I'm doing or what I want) but I also just got engaged and looking at somewhere around October next year too. So might see you around Smiley smile

    Oooh, congratulations! Smiley laugh

    October = great month to get married. Hope you find everything you're looking for. I think the first thing is setting a date, so find a venue that you love & book it! Smiley laugh

    Thank you all Smiley smile Its starting to actually sink in now!!

    Colour wise - All I know is its got to have blue, as it always has - though I don't know whether to pick a rich royally blue and accent with Orange or Yellow, or just have lots of shades of blue!! probably a bit more wintery than autumn but what can you do.

    At the moment I think I know what I want - wait until you see my lack of decision making skills Smiley smile But looking forward to planning in the same time frame Smiley smile
