    Thanks!

    I have so many questions i wouldnt know where to start! Hannah advised me today to first set a budget and then do a guest list and work from there!!!??

    I feel very nervous about the whole thing!

    I think i will start the proper planning after Christmas as we have so much going on!

    Thank you!

    Well this is quite random, or at least it was for me.

    We have been together almost 8 years, so i have been waiting a while!! He lived abroad for work for 3 years in this time too.

    Now my other-half always does things to the max, everything is a over the top, so birthdays/christmas ect and he loves to make a fuss, not expense wise but just different!

    Because of this i am super suspicious of everything. This is why it was a total surprise. All my friends were guessing how crazy it would be. However i never thought it would be now!

    I came home tuesday night and he was supposed to have picked up the chicken for dinner. He looked really sheepish and i said 'what have you done' (me being suspicious again). He said there is no chicken as i forgot.

    So i go to get something else out for tea and he says 'no dont' and i say 'why'

    He says because we are going out for dinner and again me being suspicious i ask why, thinking that he has broken something or done something stupid. He says because he is going away thursday (Which is true he is working in Cairo for three weeks). I say ok.

    I then turn round and he is on one knee!!!!! I tell him to get up and stop messing around (as he is a joker).

    Then he pulls out a box....and you know the rest!!!

    I was in total shock and still am.. He said this was the only way he could ask me and it be a surprise as i suspect everything. Haha. That will teach me, then we went out for dinner.

    I wondered why the frontroom had been hoovered and the yankee candle was on!! pmsl!

    So thats it!!!

    I'm similar to you. We'll have been together 8 years next month and he managed to surprise me too! ? (engaged end of August)

    Congratulations again! So, having spent so much time together already - have you thought about dates??
