My beloved, very much younger (ten years), boyfriend of five years is taking me to our favourite hotel in a couple of weekends time. It is in the Lake District here in the UK and is just wonderful, but only the sort of place we can afford to go to once in a very blue moon as it is £300 per night just for dinner, bed and breakfast.
We talk about getting married quite a bit, in fact he woke me on Saturday with the words, ''I would love to get married to you'', but there is always the issue of cost and priorities.
When we first visited this hotel we dreamed of getting married there, but it would be way over budget for us, so to me the next best thing would be to get engaged there. I have said things like how much I am looking forward to the weekend because it so romantic there, and what a shame it is we can''t get married there, but I am wondering if there is anything else I can do without actually saying ''propose or else!''.
He booked the hotel as a gift for my birthday last month, so it is not as if I can be suspicious that he has it planned anyway because he has a genuine reason for us going.
I don''t even want a ring to be presented at the time, because I would kill him if I didn''t get to get involved in the process. It is less common to have a ring at the proposal here in the UK anyway.
So come on you hard core LIW''s what advice do you have for me?
