Valentines day was a good day! I booked us a room at the Park Plaza overlooking the London eye because she has always wanted to stay in a nice hotel and it was near to both of our works since technically it was a 'school night'. We ate cheese and crackers and cinnabons and then went for a walk along the Thames and to our favourite spot on Jubilee Bridge, where I proceeded to say "will you marry me?" She didn't say yes...she said "WHAT?!" "Are you serious?" so then I pulled out a ring and then she said. "OMG!" "WHAT?" "Let's walk" "I need a stiff drink" "OMG" then the longest 20 mins later back in the hotel room she said "Yes of course I want to marry you" I then got down on one knee and asked her again so she could just say "Yes" and then she then got down on one knee to 'Barry White- My first, my last, my everything" :D I half expected this kind of reaction because she gets overwhelmed quite easily :) ( I still have the memory of when I asked her if she was my girlfriend!) Then we drank champagne in the bath and wore our hotel robes. A good evening was had :) I never planned to propose on Valentines day because it is so cliche and everything but I just knew she was the one and everything just sort of fell in to place and it just seemed like a really perfect moment! I think T hated the fact it was on Valentines day, because as I was nervously plucking up the courage and suggesting we go for a walk along the Thames, she was laughing and mocking people on the the London eye and even said "I wonder how many people are proposing on there tonight" at which point I was like OMG and then as we were about to leave the hotel room, Marry you by Bruno Mars came on the radio....
Awesome view (Was even more great at night, as the eye was lit up red for Valentines day)
My gift to T. She got me a cool coffee coaster and a dinosaur balloon modelling kit (which I love and proves how much she knows me :D)
The highlight of the night was the Espresso machine :D - I had the hotel specifically make sure there was one in the room, cos it is T's dream to own one when we get our own place :) So I got some brownie points
We have decided to wait until we both qualify this summer and get jobs to start planning our wedding because we both have so much on our plates right now. I just couldn't wait any longer to ask the MASSIVE QUESTION and I can't wait until she is my wife. She told me after that she was going to ask me at some point in the not too distant future and that she can't believe I got there first and she had it all figured out as she never expected I would propose!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
Take care
