The Loveliest Surprise

I am currently writing this post with the biggest smile on my face because, as of yesterday, I am engaged! It still hasn’t completely sunk in yet, but I have been on a high all weekend and I could not be happier. It started off just like any other rainy/miserable Saturday. It was half snowing, half raining, yet Scott insisted on trekking up East Lomond  (a hill in Fife, Scotland). I did think this was incredibly bizarre considering the murky weather but, he kept going on about wanting to be healthy and get fit so I went along with it, none the wiser.

Disaster did strike half way up the road leading to the visitor car park. Snow on the road meant my little 1.2 Corsa wasn’t having it and refused to drive, getting stuck on a windy dirt track road. I started to panic (anyone who knows me, knows driving is not my forte!) and had to get Scott to reverse back down the hill for me. I was still none the wiser when Scott suggested we walk round a local loch instead. So off I drove, still slightly confused at this sudden desire to go out walking despite our earlier hiccup!

By the time we got to the loch the rain had subsided so it was just the cold we had to contend with as we made our way round the foggy loch. On the way back to the car Scott asked if I could take his photo. This did confuse the hell out of me because there was nothing to really take a photo of as it was so dark and misty. Puzzled, I pulled my phone out and clicked the camera icon but as I looked up I noticed he had his back to me. ‘What?! You want me to take a photo of your back?’ I exclaimed. I was utterly confused. It was at this point he turned around and produced the most beautiful ring.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been so shocked. I’m sure I looked ridiculous as I’m pretty sure my jaw was on the floor. He even got down on one knee. And so, I’ve been in a complete state of bliss ever since…who knew he could be so romantic?

Apologies in advance for the wedding/house posts that will no doubt dominate the blog over the next little while as I start to plan. Hopefully you will enjoy reading these. Of course I will still post about beauty, travel, lifestyle etc.
