So recently I got
engaged, and while yes it was probably the best day of my life to date, when
the initial excitement and surprise had died down I sat back and thought, wow! What to I do now? Where do I start? I know next
to nothing about planning a wedding; attending, eating, celebrating and having a
good drink and dance, yes I know all about that, but planning, now that is a
whole other area of 'the unknown'.
I have agreed to write
a blog for WeddingXtras, talking through the different stages of planning a
wedding and hopefully helping other brides to be, as I find out just how to do
this.
Firstly I will tell you
how my man dropped down on one knee and proposed to me.
After 2 years of being
friends and me being stubborn, I finally agreed, after much persuasion, to let
Max (that’s my fiancée) to take me out on a date, what he had in mind wasn’t
exactly my idea of a ordinary first date, but knowing Max as well as I did, I
knew that it would be something out of the ordinary, that’s the type of guy he
is.
Slightly apprehensive
and nervous I climbed into the dirty Land Rover he owned which, might I add was
covered in dog hair and although I had jumped in there many times before, in the
back of my mind I was thinking he could have cleaned up a bit. Still he was
playing my favorite Oasis song, ‘Wonderwall’ so I let him off as he gave me a
cheeky grin.
Next thing I know we
are at an airfield and he’s telling me we are going sky diving, I was petrified
but went along as the gesture was so nice; I had told him once that when I was
a little girl I always wished I could fly!
I had an amazing time
and 4 years on we are still together and happier than ever and most importantly
head over heels in love.
The proposal, you
wonder was it as out-going and crazy as our first date? Well, no, but never the
less it was a beautiful romantic moment.
I was sitting in my
house on a lazy Saturday, I had nothing planned other than to spend the evening
in my pjs eating rubbish and watching trash TV, perfect! However Max, always
one to be spur of the moment, decided to pop round and inform me I had 10
minuets to get dressed and come with him. Slightly annoyed I obliged and
followed him into the dog hair ridden Landy.
20 minuets later we
pulled up at the same air field as our first date however this time it was
night time and I told Max there was no way in hell I was jumping out of a plane
in the pitch black. As I jumped out of the Land Rover I realised that Max had
planned a romantic candle lit meal for two in one of the old plane hangers. As
I got closer I realised that there was something spelt out in candles it said
'will you?' as I looked at Max to ask him will I what? He dropped to one knee
and said 'marry me?' Like the big girl that I am I burst into tears and cried
my heart out until I finally managed to say yes!
It was such a lovely,
romantic way of asking me as it was at the scene of our first date, however
with Max he could have proposed in a fast food car park and I would have said
yes.
So there that’s my
starting story and over the next few weeks I will go step-by-step on how I am
planning my wedding and hopefully this blog will help you as well.
Keep reading best
wishes Billie
