Born2snow: She said YES!

Helloooo

So this is a completely different kind of post today...it's personal! **be warned...this could go on!!**

Here's a little bit of back story...Kelly and I have been an official, living together kind of a couple for a little over two years...we also had about a year before that too where I was living in London and Kelly was in Sheffield for her training, so for arguments sake about 3 years.

She pays professional Table Tennis, wins medals, keeps ridiculously fit and drinks weird protein shakes. Well they do say opposites attract!

So over the last 3 years, we've moved house - twice. Had a number of holidays, trips out, family time, our time...we've been lucky enough to have some incredible moments together, we've got through some really really hard stuff and we've kept each other a float when it felt impossible.

We've had an amazing time and I truly met my match in life, she will happily put me in my place, she lets me win(although we don't admit that she's letting me, just that i'm winning), she makes me smile when all i want to do is cry and all that cheesy stuff :)

So, it was time.

The asking the question part didn't worry me at all, i knew she would say yes, she had been badgering me for long enough to do it!! It was just figuring out how to do it.

I don't like proposals on days that are already days - christmas, valentines, birthday etc. I know A LOT of people are in to it and thats fine, but not for me.

I knew it would always be in London, it's our place. We met there, I'm in LOVE with the City, so it had to be there, just a question of where.

Kelly is a huge Mary Poppins fan, I mean HUGE, I get word for word all the way through the movie!! So I thought, what would be better than being as high up as possible, over looking the city we both love so much, with a perfect view of St Paul's Cathedral.

SO on the 4th November 2015, I proposed, at the top of the shard and to no surprise at all, she said Yes :) The detaily bits i'll leave out as that's quite personal and special to us, but its was lovely :)

We then went into town and headed towards the Natural History Museum as they have an outdoor ice rink which was a good giggle as Kelly seriously cannot skate, then went for some dinner.
