Hi all, I don't post that often but I lurk all the time and you guys won't believe how helpful reading all your random posts has been over the past 6months-I would go so far as to say you kept me sane! This is probably one of the most unconventional engagements you'll here and I'm sure a few of you won't agree with it but hey for being different! We got engaged on new years eve, well day, it was 12.34am to be precise. My fiance (wow still doesn't feel real-for reasons that will become clearer later) was planning it for 9th Jan (day after my birthday and didn't tell me this until after he'd proposed) but spontaneously got carried away in the moment and asked me. By the seaside in a lovely big house we'd rented with 8 of our friends who were all downstairs! It took my breath away, I wish I can remember everything he said but he seemed to be down on one knee for a long time! He put his diamond ring on my finger as we have been given my great-grandmas ring which he wants us to reset and choose the setting together-I can't wait! He wants to ask my parents permission before we tell people and I know he's been planning the 'original' proposal for about 18months so I told him he should still do that once he's spoken to my parents
