Excerpts Of Wedding And Proposal Stories Part 3
In February 2002 Ben decided we were going on a holiday. All I was told was to bring a change of clothes for the week, togs, and a nice dress. On the night of Valentines, we had a stretch limo to Cowrie where we had a stunning sea food course with sparkling white wine. He kept staring at me all night I got paranoid I had something on my face, to which he answered, “Can’t I stare at the one I love?” he looked so nervous. I thought it was the sea food! After dessert, we were taken back to our cottage where we then left for a walk along the beach. He then stopped, told me how special I was to him and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, got down on one knee and proposed. There was a beaming beach light behind me, which reflected on Ben and the beach like the perfect moonlit night. I was so happy and excited I squealed, jumped up and down and said yes. Of course I hugged him. We were so lost in the moment that we totally forgot about the ring until we were about to walk back to our cottage. It was perfect.
Our reception was held at the Novotel Brisbane. I wanted it to be different, one to be remembered!! We had the bridal table raised above the guests that worked out fabulously so everyone could see us and we could see them. No guest was sitting with their back to us, we wanted to see their happy faces enjoying themselves on our special day. The centrepieces consisted of a hurricane lamp and candle surround by a wreath of flowers. Behind the bridal table was a fairy light wall, which only added to the romantic atmosphere. After floating on a cloud during our bridal waltz “All I want is you” by U2, everyone was up dancing for the rest of the evening, to end the day in style.
Excerpts Of Wedding And Proposal Stories
We first met in a Brisbane pub in 2003. We didn’t exchange details at that time but met again at another Brisbane pub around 3 months later. We have been together ever since. Michael proposed on our 5th anniversary together. He had me convinced that it would never happen because he couldn’t afford a ring. Little did I know that he had opened a secret bank account and was saving for a ring. After we had been out for dinner he told me that he had a small gift for me – even though we said no anniversary gifts. He presented me with a beautiful engagement ring.
I was on an Oktoberfest tour in Germany and Ben was my tour guide. I thought he was very good looking and full of personality as I’m sure did most of the girls on the tour. We chatted on the bus home and he mentioned that he had moved out of his share house in London and needed a place to stay or “doss” (backpacker term). I offered my lounge room and he took me up on it and the relationship grew from there. We stayed in London a couple more years and then backpacked around USA, Canada and Sth America before heading home. Whilst in Peru in South America we decided to trek the Inca Trail. After five days of very little sleep, very little food and heaps of walking we reached machu picchu the famous Inca ruins. It was here at sunrise overlooking the ruins that Ben asked me to marry him. Exhausted as we were it was a beautiful proposal and of course I said yes!

Truth be told, there are certainly some things on the forefront here, but the list could be rather extensive if you aren’t expecting it.
People typically spend a lot of money when weddings are concerned.

Your Unforgettable Wedding Will Start With An Unforgettable Ring
Weddings are huge parties to plan with lots of details that must be addressed. If you are already at this stage, then you must be swamped. If you have not yet been proposed to officially, that means you haven’t got the ring, which could be a good thing. Remember, this is something you’ll wear on your hand for, well, ever.
Yes, it is true that the majority of women dream of the day their partner will propose in a romantic way. But, a lot of those women have often been less than satisfied with the ring choice the groom made.
