Wedding Proposals

Queensland, Brisbane
On valentines day 2008, my partner Ben proposed, it started out like this…..

I had taken a week off work, the day before we went to wet and wild on the gold coast, then on the day itself, Ben unfortunately had to work.

He sent me an email at about 2.30 telling me he was going over to his best friends house after work for a coffee, upon him telling me this I got quite annoyed, as we had dinner reservations (which I already knew about there were no secrets about that), so we ended up getting into an email war over why he shouldn’t go for coffee.

When he finally got home at 5.30pm, he didn’t have anything in his hands at all, and on special occasions he always buys me at least 1 flower (he isn’t a totaly romantic), so we got ready and then we went to dinner at a place called the pineapple hotel.

Aftwewards, we ended up going to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs here in brisbane (which was a surprise), we stayed there for a while then he told me that we should go home, so I put my camera away and said I suppose tonight isn’t the night that I get my engagement ring then (I am very impatient and when he didn’t have anything in his hands I started to get a little suspicious), when I did that and turned around, my partner was sitting there, almost white as a ghost, saying to me “what this engagement ring”, I started to cry even though I knew something was up,. as we had spoken about it, and the month before he took me to look at rings, and he slipped it onto my finger, as he was doing this, he did say “will you marry me” but he already knew that answer.

Even though it might not sound very romantic, but to me, I couldn’t ask for anything more, I know my partner and he isn’t th type to get down on one knee and say those magic words, but for him what he did was very romantic, and I guess if I wasn’t so impatient then it might have ended up differently, either way, this valentines day was the best day of my life and i wouldn’t want to change a thing.
