NSW, Blacksmiths
Craig & I met on a singles website on a Tuesday night. We spoke only for a little while, and then he suggested he drive up to Newcastle the next day from Wollongong so we could meet face to face. I agreed, it sounded wonderful.

We met down at Belmont near the lake, and sat and talked for 5 hours. I couldnt believe how time just slipped away from us. Unfortunately, he had to leave as he started work early the next morning, and i had to pick my daughter up from school at 3pm.

That saturday was his 38th birthday, so if i could get a baby sitter, maybe we could spend more time together and get to know each other a bit more. We booked a hotel room to stay at which was nice. We went out later that night for dinner.

I couldnt get enough of him, with all of his stories about his childhood, his interests, his family and friends. He was so interesting. It felt like we’d known each other forever.

The following day after we said goodbye, he text messaged me and was skirting around the question to marry him. It was driving me nuts. So, straight to the point, i asked him what he wanted to say. He said that he couldnt imagine spending his life with anyone else. I was gob-smacked! This is what i wanted, and i wasnt sure how to answer him. So, i said yes.

We’re planning on a very short engagement. Why put off what feels so right. So this november we’re planning on a beachside wedding, with close family and friends. It will be one the best days in both of our lives.
