I've just got engaged!!!! (and other stuff)
We haven't set a date for the wedding yet, but it will be either next year or the year after.
Scary finger close-ups!!!
It's even more lovely than it looks in those pics. I'll have to take some more. I keep looking at it all the time, it's so shiny and lovely and every time I look at it, I feel all warm and lovely because it means that the man I love wants us to spend the rest of our lives together.
Anyway, that's enough soppy love stuff. We went to the Ulster Air Show yesterday and it was very cool. I particularly liked the Spitfire and the Huey Helicopter (or Helidoctor as my wee nephew Ravin would say). In fact I've found a website for it http://www.huey.co.uk/ . But the best was at the end, the RAF Typhoon Eurofighter. It was so loud!!! Like some massive giant was ripping the sky apart with its bare hands. At the end it flew vertically into the sky like a rocket and disappeared "back off down to Shannon" according to the commentator, although I thought he said "buggered off down to Shannon."
Last weekend we were at a mediaeval festival and country lifestyle show and I had a go at archery (which I was quite good at), air rifle shooting (which I started off very good at, then got complacent and got quite rubbish). We watched jousting and I bought early saxon coins and tudor coins and I struck a coin myself.
Next saturday, mum is organising a family lunch to celebrate our engagement which means we'll probably miss the last episode of Doctor Who!!!! We'll have to record it or watch the repeat on BBC3. I can't wait to see what happens.
He proposed in my place of work hehe. I had just gone for a 15 minute break and as I was coming back into work, he was there with the ring. He was all romantic and lovely. Opened the box with the ring in it, asked me if I'd marry him and then slipped it on my finger.
Of course I went and showed all my workmates my ring straightaway. They were quite baffled that I had just gone on my teabreak and came back engaged.
One of the supervisors sent an email round all the staff saying that I had just got engaged and the next day everyone had done a collection and they got us a lovely card, a bottle of pink champagne, a box of chocolates and the Wedding Journal magazine. We had the pink champagne and chocolates last night. We were just lying in bed watching telly, drinking pink champagne and being all engaged. It was lovely.
Anyway, the all important ring!!!
See pics below!!!
