Wedding Bells In The Air

[DTCwordfan]

I have just had good news and that is that my goddaughter has just got engaged on the ski-slopes under the Matterhorn, her now-fiancé catching her completely unawares, stopping at a scenic point and getting an Italian to take a pic of them. She was giving him major grief about faffing around with his goggles and poles and what was he up to - then he dropped to his knee.

He had a ring to hand as well......

He had asked her father for his 'permission' on New Year's Eve......and her father played a blinder in putting her mother off the scent.

Wedding probably next Spring as he is finishing a Masters. So more drawings and speeches to consider as I am 'senior godfather.'

Any bizarre engagement stories out there with ABers? Location, Scenario, Sequence of events etc?

ah...sweet ! ...I was just told as I was leaving for work on a Monday 7am...btw we are getting married on Thursday better ask for the day off !

Mine was more conventional, a bitterly cold 30th December night in Norwich -20C, candlelit dinner - Norwich (Nickers off ready when I come home) in Connecticut and not far from London or Mystic.

[murraymints]

getting unhitched was much much more of a problem !

[Psybbo]

How lovely, best wishes to them both

[Psybbo]

Lovely cake, Minty

awww DTC that's lovely. My DH proposed to me on bended knee on Christmas Day in Battersea Park by the lake. We had chosen a ring so it wasn't entirely a surprise but it was still lovely. I can still remember people walking by and smiling and we took absolutely no notice of them. Oh yes and there was a puddle in front of the park bench so he knelt in it.

[DTCwordfan]

well done him, woofgang......

Agree, minty, on the unhitching - cost me a gall bladder!

[murraymints]

[Psybbo]

Nothing that can match being taken up the Matterhorn completely unawares.

[DTCwordfan]

Bit like my ex sister-in-law then? She didn't fall in love - she went straight to engagement....

[Psybbo]
