... but it was perfect all the same
I knew he was going out to buy a ring yesterday, we've been together 8 years and have a date set for the wedding already, so yesterday morning he announced he was off into town to ring shop... i asked him who it was for
Anyway, I gradually got really excited throughout the day then he rang me at about 4pm and I asked if he'd been into town... he said no... I was absolutely crushed. It was then I realised the whole engagement thing must mean more to me than i thought and the fact he hadn't got a ring today like he said he would felt like a massive blow.
Turns out he was trying to throw me off the scent and had actually got the ring, but he was a bit too good at lying and it massively backfired
Anyway! Fast forward a couple of hours and I'm sat on the sofa, DP calls me into the kitchen, gets down on one knee, the dogs think he's about to play with them so jump on him and push him over... ring box goes flying across the floor and gets stuck under a kitchen cupboard
Poor DP spends 15 mins fishing under the cupboard with a coat hanger to retrieve ring box while I absolutely die laughing and the dogs try to lick his face..
Ring box was eventually retrieved and dogs secure in the other room, DP proposed on the kitchen floor and I, of course, said yes
He then had to go out to work so I spent the rest of the evening in the bath with a glass of wine researching venues...
We were going to DTD (obviously) when he got home but he was really tired.. made a valiant effort but it was not to be
We are off out tonight to celebrate properly so hopefully we can redeem it!
Make me feel better, has anyone else had a worse proposal?
