THE ONLY ONE YOU SEE

We are engaged! Matt asked me on a rainy afternoon at the V&A on our eight year anniversary, it was perfect. I hugged him and said 'yes, of course!' I kept asking him 'omg really, really?' It felt so unreal. We ran in the rain to the South Kensington tube station after he asked me to go and choose a ring. It was so special and I thought how lovely it was of him it was to want to take me and pick together. Oxford Street was the only place we could think of, we were splashing in massive puddles, the rain was pouring down, I was laughing and crying at the same time. I finally settled on one that I really loved from Selfridges, it's beautiful vintage gold with a moonstone from an old brooch. We were so excited and overwhelmed, we wanted to tell all our lovely family & friends, who are all very happy! Here's to many, many happy days! ♥
