So it has been 16 days of married bliss and now it is time to give you my report!
How we met and proposal
I am lucky enough to have married my first love and I was his first too. When we met I had just turned 16 and he was nearly 19 playing a gig at a local charity festival thing. I instantly fell in love with him when we got chatting. I know it is a complete cliché to use the phrase 'love at first sight' but that really is how I felt about him.
We got together in September 2009, a month after we met. We moved into our first house in July 2012 with our two cats. We both bought cars, I went to uni, he is working up the career ladder in his current job. Everything just went so well and I still feel lucky every day.
OH proposed Christmas Day 2012. He had woken me up at 7am and I opened all my stocking presents from him (yes, we still do that!!) before he gave me a card. He was stood up in front of me and I insisted he sat down and didn’t have a clue why he was stood there like a lemon! I opened my card and it said ‘for my wonderful fiancée’ on the front of it. Me being me I instantly thought he must have just picked the first card up off the shelf the night before without bothering to read it. It wasn’t until he was down on one knee asking me to marry him that I realised. It was so romantic and not like him at all. I remember the squeal I gave him (before he got an answer) and just how many happy tears I cried that day. Saying this, I knew the proposal was coming at some point as we are rubbish at keeping things from each other and he let slip he wanted to marry me when he took me ring shopping in October 2012!!
Anyway, we got planning straight away in January 2013 and visited three venues before finding ‘the one’. The first wedding related item I bought was my shoes and I shortly after booked my photographer before having anything else sorted....
