The Story of Our Engagement.

Stu and I met way back in Primary school. We lived in the same area, and were part of the same group of friends that used to play together as children both in school and out. We lost contact when we first went to secondary school, until one day at age thirteen idecided to 'knock for him' and see what he's been up to. We spent a lot of time together that summer, like old days. Doing the typical thing that thirteen year olds do, of starting a relationship, only to get bored after a few days and then ending and moving onto one of their friends! However, on New Years' Eve 2001, Stu asked me out...and I said yes...and we have been together ever since. We went to college together, learned to drive and bought our first car together, went on holidays, and at the age of 18 left our home town, and went to university together! 5 years later and both graduates, we live together in a cute little cottage on the outskirts of our university town. We still do all the things that 23 year olds do...girls/boys nights out, date nights, cosy nights in...and everything is great!

On 26th December 2010, unknown to me, Stu was working up the courage to ask my dad if he approved of us getting married. (More of a mark of respect than actual permission) And during a family Christmas get together, he asked me to marry him, in front of all my family. (A huge feat for someone who is quite shy, as he is) The rest...as they say...is history, and we are now on the next big journey of our relationship, with the added benefit of having already been together for 10 years, lived together for 5, so we both know that it is definitely what we want. I am so excited about this new journey!
