The evening of the 3rd went very quickly for me, I was in bed early while Dustin chatted up a storm with my Mom... like I think every other night after until he left!! :)
THE DAY!!
- how it all happened...
On Saturday (4th September, 2010) morning my Mom and Melissa went shopping, I sat in the lounge waiting for Dustin to get himself ready. He came to sit next to me, he pulled me closer to him, wrapped his arms around me and told me how much he loved me, etc. (etc. because everything up to the question is a blur for me now LOL), got onto one knee, pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him... Yes not VERY romantic, but we were at my Mom's place and I think he knew he had limited time before my Mom and Melissa got back :) it was however, very special to me and I will obviously ALWAYS remember it!!
THE RING....
My Mom had already organized for the family to come over for a braai (BBQ) on the Sunday, and now that we were engaged she asked family friends to come along too... It was such an awesome day and I was so pleased that Dustin got to meet my "crazy" family I love so much!!
Here are a few pics of the people he met...

I'm so happy for both of you. You are such a cute couple. I can't wait for you to get married and move out this way. Glad you got your blog template sorted. Sorry I never got around to helping you... sick family made things crazy here last few days. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla :) I can't wait to move out that way and get married too!! It took me I don't know how long to get it sorted - not sure how I even ended up unzipping the file! LOL but i'm happy it's done now... Shame, hope you all get better soon!
