    Laura’s Proposal Story…

    We were in New York. It was my birthday on the penultimate day and he had planned to propose then, but I had a very laid back view of how I’d like the day to go so wasn’t in a hurry to get anywhere. I just wanted to soak up New Yorker life (unbeknownst to me he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to propose 😂) so that day comes and goes and it’s our final day.

    We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria and our suite was beautiful, but I was having a little cry in the morning 😂😂 mostly because I had the sorest back, I’ve never suffered from a bad back before or since but it was so sore whilst we were away so I was crying. I was a bit jet lagged and I was also a bit sad that he hadn’t bought me a birthday card 🙈 (am I the only one who likes a good card??)

    So I’m having this moment, sat in my Jurassic Park pyjamas being a baby 😂 (in hindsight I can laugh about it but at the time I was very sad ha!!) and he’s trying to console me, distracting me with the plans for the day and apologising for not getting me a card, where out of no where, he lays down on the bed with me, apologises again for not getting me a card, but tells me ‘I did get you this’ and there was the most beautiful ring I’d ever seen…and I cried some more half hysterically laughing 😂😂😂 best memory ever ❤️

    Beth’s Proposal Story…

    We were on holiday in Croatia and we were out on an excursion. Our last stop of the day was a village in the middle of the countryside which is considered an artist’s retreat and is sat on top of one of the largest hills in the area, with amazing views.

    We wandered around the village and we’re going to get a drink. My fiancé is a keen photographer and wanted to get his gopro out of his bag to get some wide angle shots of the beautiful scenery. Little did I know the gopro was already out and sat on a rock nearby, recording us. He had placed it there so he could record the proposal to show our families when we got home.

    Of course I said yes and I regularly watch that video, it still brings me to tears!

    Vickie’s Proposal Story…

    We were on our first family holiday to Tenerife, we hadn’t been together long I had my little boy August 2015 and my boys dad walked out on me before he was even born didn’t want anything to do with him, I hit rock bottom, then October 2015 my now HTB walked in…

    We went lots of places and he booked a big family meal at a posh steak house, he was acting a tad shifty, he got up in front of all my family told me I looked absolutely beautiful and got down on one knee! And said “Vickie you’re my entire world and more you and Joel mean more to me than life itself. I know it’s soon but I can’t imagine being with anyone else but a queen like you!”

    Never in a million years did I think I’d be this happy! He already asked my dad for approval and even booked an engagement party (god knows if I’d of said no!) seriously can’t wait to marry the person who made my life complete 💍
