My proposal plan

Hey everyone!

As many of you know, I have planned to propose to my partner today.
I thought I will let you all know how it goes as why not ha.

I haven't done it yet but I thought I would write about how I am doing it and then I will come back later once i have done it and update how it went.

So, I have invited my partner to come and do some golf as she likes to do a bit of golf, and then I told her we can go for a walk to the seafront and have a little picnic, we will have our picnic while playing her favourite music once we have eaten the picnic we are going to take a couple of picture, I then was going to propose during but I have actually changed my mind on that so instead once we have finished I have already booked to go to a sea life centre as we both are obsessed with animals so we will go there and have a walk around, at this sea life centre I do know that they have this tunnel the is all glass and so you stand in it and it is in the stingrays and sharks tank so it is like your in their with them, so we will stand in their and take a cute picture then I will propose to her.

I also got in contact with someone at the sea life centre and told them what I planned on doing so they are actually going to help me out, they are blocking the tunnel off for when me and my partner go in it so there will only be us two in the tunnel they will change the music they have on and put her favourite song on for when I propose. I am so grateful that they are doing this to make this day extra special.

So hopefully it all goes well.

I have got plans on what I am going to do after I propose if she says yes so I will share what I have planned once I have proposed

Let's say my anxiety levels are through the Roof right now.

    Hey everyone!

    Well I did it! And she said yes!!!
    It was so beautiful and gosh it feels amazing. Not going to lie, my anxiety was getting to me and I nearly didn't do it but I am honestly so glad I did.

    I now have a wonderful fiancé.

    Massive congratulations!!! I am so happy for you

    Thank you @independent_
    I really appreciate it

    Okay everyone, for those who wanted to hear what I said to my fiancé when I proposed here it is.

    "I will never forget the first time we saw each other. There I was, trying to play golf for a laugh, and instead of impressing anyone, I completely missed the hole, fell, and made a fool of myself. But you, you didn't just laugh, you came over and helped me up. Looking back, that moment feels like the start of something much bigger. You have been lifting me up ever since.

    And then later it was your turn. You tripped and fell into me, and somehow you manage to turn it into the smoothest line ever when you said, 'I think I just fell for you'. And of course, me being me, I didn't process it straight away and just brushed it off. But a few moments later when I finally realised what you actually said, I only caught on when you told me I was cute and asked for my number. I realised that moment was the start of the best part of my life.

    Those first clumsy, funny, perfect moments turned into something real. Laughter, love and a connection. You make me better, you make me brave, and you make life more beautiful then I ever imagined it could be.

    You didn't turn away when I told you about my conditions, you just showed support and genuine love. You made me feel complete.
    And just for that I knew that you really deserved a permanent place in not just my heart but my life.

    Your the most beautiful women I have ever seen,

    So let's take our minds back to the place we met,
    I am falling yet again, but this time I am falling with a message,
    I want you to be the one to pick me up after all my falls for the rest of our lives,
    Will you marry me?"

    I know it is long but I wanted it to be really special moment.

    Awww Bea this is so so lovely to read. In a world of cruelty, these are the moments that keep us going. Who would have known what you might have meant to each other when you first met? And now look at you both! You are lucky to have each other and I am sure you do as much for her as she does for you.

    Thank you for taking the time to share and document this with us, these are the moments we all need to remember so having it immortalised here is lovely too

    Congratulations again and may it be a long and happy marriage when it does happen!

    Thank you @Leyla
    I very much appreciate it.

    Ahhhh Bea this is so so beautiful. What an honour that you've shared this with us. We're over the moon for you!
  • AnimalloverbAnimalloverb Posts: 241 Trailblazer
    To be honest it doesn't feel real.
    This whole thing doesn't even feel real, it's like my brain is still processing that I did it and that I now have a fiancé. I know I have done it and it's official but it just doesn't seem real.
