The last few weeks have flown by in a bit of a blur, so much has happened that I’m not quite sure where I need to start…
I think I should backtrack all the way to the end of February – my 30th birthday!
G spoilt me rotten for my b-day he got me such thoughtful and well just amazing gifts! I had a lovely day and was spoilt by everyone!
G had a lovely evening planned, he was going to take me up Table Mountain for a picnic and then we were going to go on this awesome Ferris wheel thing in the V&A Waterfront (it’s kinda like the London eye!)
Of course Cape Town being well Cape Town by the time I left work there were grey clouds, gail force winds and both the cable car and the Ferris wheel were closed!
So while we were busy deciding what we were going to do instead, G told me that he had another present for my (this would now be my 4th present) but he said that if I didn’t like it I must promise him that I would tell him so that we could take it back and change it, I of course said yes (thinking he had bought be a pair of shoes) and then he said “AND YOU WILL HAVE TO MARRY ME!” and presented me with the most beautiful engagement ring in the world! I screamed, said yes, kissed him and then screamed again – it was so special and so perfect!
He is truly amazing, he originally took the day off work but then told me that he to work because one of his clients demanded that he finish the project I didn’t think twice about it BUT what he really did was drive through to his parent’s house to tell them he was going to propose and then drove to my parent’s house to ask them if he could marry me! That to me was so special, I am quite old fashioned in that way and the fact that he took the time to do that really meant’ a lot to me.
We decided that we didn’t want to wait till next year and since G can only take leave between April and May we are getting married in April 2011! Yes you did read right, it’s only a few weeks away!
We have found the most amazing venue, it has so much character and beauty! Everything just seems to be falling into place which is fantastic.
We had a long weekend in South Africa and Sunday morning I woke up and didn’t have any appointments, etc and I actually felt a little lost because every day there has been something and I guess it will be pretty much like that until after the wedding!
So if I’m quiet you now know why! Because I’m GETTING MARRIED!!
Till next time,
