Ladies, thanks for all the fairy dust - it worked!!!

My GORGEOUS fiance took me away for our 6 year anniversary to a secluded coastal area called ''Seal Rocks''. He rented an amazing pavilion style holiday house for us to stay in which was surrounded by bush. There was nobody in sight! The only sounds were wildlife and the ocean crashing on the rocks - it was perfect!

He proposed in front of an open log fire on Saturday night... it was my dream proposal and my dream ring!

thanks, Addy!

we were having coffee and cookies in front of the open log fire and he said "Baby, you know how much I love you... and I want to spend the rest of my life with you... as my wife. Will you marry me?" He then presented the ring box and opened it. He grabbed my hand and gently slid the ring on. He was nervous and shaking... it was beautiful!

I just grabbed him in a huge bear hug and said "Yes! Of Course I will..." and then we both cried a bit... haha... it was so lovely.

I''m still on cloud nine...

Thanks, babe! We chose the diamond together and I gave him pictures of the setting I loved (Tiffany Legacy)...and he had a jeweller custom make something similar for me. I LOVE it!
