The Engagement Story!

I thought while I was taking a well earned revision break (I have two more accountancy exams on the 7th and 9th of September). I would write about how I came to be engaged! to the wonderful Rachel Hubbard.

The weekend kicked off on the Friday night, Rach had returned from Newday and we'd planned to spend the Saturday at the beach, dropping Rach's brother back home and enjoying some rays. I'd made Rach a playlist which she appreciated and we listened to it on the journey down.

We awoke early on Saturday to hit the beach, not just any beach but Viking Bay, Rach's favourite beach and one of the prettiest beach's in the world!

Now I had planned the day, but I had to conceal the picnic in the back of the car with my towel. Now Rach had forgotten her towel and asked if I had mine. I somewhat skillfully (i may add) managed to avoid taking the towel down to the beach, and this meant I had to return to the car.

Coming back I returned with some added gifts, a picnic hamper, with Rach's favourite foods, some Rose wine, some flowers and a diary. However at this point Rach was still seated, so I used all my guile and asked if I could shake out the sand off of the towel (smooth!). Rach then asked if she could sit down, to which I replied, 'you may want to stay standing for this' at which point I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me, to which she thankfully said YES!!!

God has blessed us, we managed to get both the engagement ring and the wedding ring in the same day at a price in our budget!

We now also have a date 10th APRIL so save the date!!!

God is good!
