Engaged in England

Well, technically it was Wales, but Engaged in Wales didn't have the same ring.  Pun intended. 

I met Paul online and we chatted/Skyped for 18 months before I finally flew to London in order to spend two weeks touring England and Wales with him. 

Near the end of our time together, we spent one night in a restored castle on the Welsh coast, and while we were having tea and reading in the castle's library, we started talking about the future.  Before I knew it, he was on his knee, opening a ring box. 

Being that I'm a romance novelist, he could not have picked a better setting.  I started crying immediately and, obviously, said yes:) 

So, this means I will be giving up a crazy life in LA in order to move to the sheep-dotted countryside with the man I love.  I think there's a blog in that, but for right now, I'm just trying to start planning a wedding, while packing up my life and applying for a UK visa.  Immigration first; wedding second. 

Although immigration isn't nearly as much fun.

    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Wedding will be in England, maybe at the same castle where he proposed:)

    Congrats and good luck with all your plans. I have been living in England for 4+ years and let me just warn you that weddings here are very different from those in North America. There are a lot more rules and regulations (for example each city or county has a set list of approved buildings where you can marry, and you can only marry within certain daylight hours), so be sure to do lots and lots of research before you start making concrete wedding plans. Good luck with the immigration process too; I know it can be a real hassle. (not trying to put a damper on things, just trying to give a friendly heads-up). Congratulations again! :)
