Beautiful!
Awwwww, thanks y’all! Yes, after 10 years with my fella, and two kids, I’m finally on my way to being made an honest woman 😉
Despite the fact we’ve been together since time began, it was still a surprise. We’d only ever spoken in passing about tying the knot, and never seriously enough to make actual plans. So much so, my first words were: ‘What are you doing? Get up!’ Who says romance is dead, huh??
No dates or details yet – except that the event will be very quiet and low key. I’m not one for weddings, or fuss, or being the centre of attention.
Took a few days to get used to the idea of getting married but now, I must admit, it’s quite a nice thought.
You don’t think we’re rushing things, do you?? 😉
Awwwwww wow! Congratulations! And a very happy new year!!!
