Here is another lovely story of a newly engaged couple, who have entered our fab Valentines Competition! Sharing her story with us today is Michelle….
So..!! in March last year I had almost given up hope of meeting Mr Wright – there were certainly plenty of Mr Wrongs, Mr Not rights nows and dozens of Mr your so not right its wrong! After a pretty heavy weekend on the tiles I decided to go and meet a bunch of mates for a late sunday nightcap… dressed it on old baggy tea-stained jumper, hair scraped back and black mascara smudged over my face I was not a pretty site to say the least as I melted into the comfy leather sofa and pulled out the Sunday papers..
Then along came Jack. He was so good-looking I went the same crimson shade as my half-chipped nail polish.. Tall, rugged and hansom, my prince charming, the man I had been waiting for my whole life, strolled into the pub the minute I turn up like i should be one of the ugly sisters scrubbing the floor! Disaster – they say you make your mind up in 3 seconds – well I thought it would be a one micro-second look at me and he would be off.. as i hid behind my broadsheet I realised i was going to have to speak to him, he had plonked his cute little butt right next to me!
I took a deep breath, pretended I looked like Angelina Jolie and charmed his pants off – some say I put a ‘shell spell’ on him and spiked his drink but there is no evidence to prove that…
So we exchanged numbers and I should have been over the moon.. small problem, I work in motorsports and was off in four days for 6 very long weeks – to the other side of the world! Dam it! I told him, you better ask me out quick because I’m off soon! subtle was never my strong point! and we spent the next four blissful days together before I flew to Melbourne…
Writing about it now it sounds crazy, but after two weeks, daily emails and phone calls, I missed him so much I asked him, half joking, to come and meet me.. and he did!! We met on a beach in Thailand exactly one month after we met – it was our fifth date!
After a blissful two weeks in paradise, we returned home to the UK, got a place together and have never been apart since! After what can only be described as a magical Xmas Jack whisked me off to New York. After an afternoon strolling round central park on New Years Eve and a trip to the Zoo, he made me climb on to this huge rock, called childrens mountain, and whilst I thought I was standing there to have my picture taken like a numpty, Jack dropped to one knee and pulled out a dazzler of a diamond and asked me to be his wife.
YES, YES, YES!!! I know its quick but not one person has ever questioned it, they say we were made for each other. I love Jack with all my heart and he really makes me the happiest girl in the world and also….. he still loves me in my joggers and tea-stained jumper!
