The Proposal!

A good place to start! As it was me that proposed, on February 29th I thought I'd share the story! The wheres and hows..
I'd decided a while previously (about a year before) that I wanted to propose.. but I wavered over the course of the year and never found a way to engineer the two of us being together on the 29th.. Eventually I gave up. I knew we'd get to engagement eventually, but the plan just wasn't coming together.

It wasn't until about 9pm on the 29th of February that I thought of the way! Because of Kirks job, we weren't able to spend many weekday evenings together before moving in together. He has to wake up before 6 every day, and as such goes to bed quite early.. It made it difficult!

I've posted a few pictures on a porn forum (scandalous, I know!) and I decided that was the way to do it! Kirk's always been very supportive of my desire to be naked in public.. in fact he loves it! This idea of getting topless and writing the proposal across my chest seemed very fitting for us.. something you may come to realise as you get to know us! Anyhow, to cut a long story short, it worked! My parents knew before it happened.. his still don't know today.. which is beginning to get me down.

But, we're not looking to actually get married for a good couple of years, and I have a feeling that as soon as the word 'engaged' is used, they'll be looking to start planning for about 18 months hence.. and we're not looking to marry quite that soon. I'd like 2015 or 2016 at the latest. Nevertheless, I'm planning to drag him to a jewellers tomorrow so I can get at least some ideas of sizing for his ring. I'd like to buy it, but I'm not sure I can afford it this month. :(

A beginning..

Hello!
I got engaged in February 2012, on the 29th.. I'm still waiting for my engagement ring (sob), and we haven't set a date or anything yet.. but I've been hit by the fever! I want someone to get excited with, and something to keep a record of my thought process from here onwards.

Little background, me & Kirk have been together for a little over two years, we moved in together in March. This is us!

This picture was taken last summer. We look quite different now, his hair is much shorter, and he's clean shaven. I now have black hair and a fringe.

Since I found Pinterest, I've gone slightly mad on wedding planning.. Nothing official, or settled, but just ideas. Helped by the fact that a friend is getting married next April, and I've been helping her with small details.

I want a BRIGHT, COLOURFUL wedding.. maybe with a slight 'Alice In Wonderland' theme, as mine & Kirks first date was to see Tim Burtons version of the film. I'll share more with you as and when I have some news.
