The Proposal

On the 10th of April 2011 I received...and accepted...the most important proposal of my life...Yakof asked me to marry him!!! It was all so unexpected that, looking back, sometimes I wonder if it ever happened, until I look at my gorgeous reminder - THE ring.

I had just parked my car in front of the main door, having just spent the morning at the fair Me am Chic for book signing. I called Yakof to get downstairs so we could have lunch somewhere in the sun as it was a beautiful day, and was quite pissed off when he asked me to go up, especially given the lift was not working!!

I did not see him as soon as I opened the door as his face was covered with a huge box - he announced it was our anniversary gift (oopss I did not get him anything) :)

I was overwhelmed with joy when I started opening the box and realised he had bought me a Moncici - he had remembered how much I loved the one I had when I was little. Half way through getting the monkey out I realised there was something hanging from its hand and as soon as I saw the first word "Marry" I realised what this was all about.

I turned around to see Yakof holding a small red box with THE ring...his hands were trembling and his eyes full of expectations. I could barely breathe let alone talk when suddenly I realised he was expecting my answer...which was undoubtley YES.

In our relationship marriage had never been a priority as we were content being together and sharing our lives...the only nice plus it will give us that we can call each other husband and wife, as we already felt that towards each other.

As regards to the wedding date...that's still a question mark :)
