Newly engaged, still in shock :)

Enjayee, 15 April, 2012 at 19:57 Posted on Planning 0 12

Hi all!

My boyfriend proposed to me on Friday 13th as in two days ago, I of course said yes ... and now I'm here. He had to ask me three times as I couldn't believe it - embarrassing. We haven't started talking about anything in terms of the detail apart from that it'll be around this time next year, in Copenhagen (where he is from).

Just got back from telling my parents which was quite emotional, particularly for my dad but everyone's happy.My ring is from 1930s and is my nan's - this is extra special to me, particularly because she passed away just over a month ago so it sort of feels like this is her way of being part of it. Sorry, how cheesy is that.

So, a little about me ... I have been with my boyfriend fiancé (had to do that!) for just over two years; we met in the Philippines whilst I was on holiday visiting family and he was on his SE Asia part of his round-the-world travels; a five day holiday romance turned into a one year long distance relationship between London/Copenhagen (and at times between London/Central America during part of his travels); we then moved in together in London almost one year ago and have been very happy.

Still in happy shock about the proposal, never thought this would happen to me!

I'm sure I'll be asking you all for planning tips soon!

Nicola x

    CONGRATULATIONS!! Friday 13th was pretty lucky for you then!

    Take your time to enjoy being engaged and have a think together about what sort of a wedding day you want, budget and how many guests before you get too stuck in with booking anything.

    But definatley get stuck in here! If you're thinking of next year then have a look at our 2013 list (in my sig) which also links to our spin off facebook page.

    I love the ring, and such a lovely history behind it as well which you'll always carry with you.
