Hey all, just thought id let you know got engaged on saturday, all went to plan.

i had organised with 2 friends a big scam back in July and culminated on the weekend, basically fiancé (seems wierd writing that) thought we were going into crown casino sat for the night as our friends had scored free accomodation from Jetstar as compo for getting really stuffed around on last OS trip and they invited us to stay with them.....Proposed at home, which was great as she was thinking to herself........how not romantic can you get, then took her to maccas for lunch can tell she a little annoyed but over the moon re. bling on her finger, she just thought i was scamming in on the free weekend etc.....Then we rocked up to the Stamford Plaza in melbourne...id setup the full works with bottle of moet, canapase, choc dipped strawberries and music playing in room on arrival etc.....then took her to dinner at The Press Club in melbourne....had the 9 course symposium...great meal....then room service breky next morning and late checkout....came off perfect with no hiccups.........best part was playing her the whole time and her actually saying "your not very romantic are you" that happened at maccas little did she know what was happening later on

so yeah all done, doesnt really change anything as been together just off 6 years......guess its a step toward what lays ahead.

cheers

bling - platinum, princess cut main diamond (.51c), then 1 baguette (.30 total c)either side of central princess and 1 smaller princes cut (.12c total) next to each baguette in a channel design, G color on all diamonds, ideal cut and SI clarity.....really happy with it....about 1carat total weight.....best part is the platinum...doesnt scratch, stronger and will never need replating like white gold. I designed it and got Michael Wilson Jewelers in Eltham (Melb) to do it for me, tried Vic Diamond traders and Aus diamond company but they were hopeless, basically i told then what i wanted, said what my max was approx so of course quote came to my max.....gay as....Michael Wilson on other hand...great to deal with with personal service and very well priced etc.

Congratulations mate!

When's the wedding?

congrats simon!

not too sure yet...maybe early to mid 2011......looking at doing another trip to africa ...top end and do egypt etc mid 2011 so tossing up the idea of making that our honeymoon....

Congratulations Simon. Glad to hear everything went to plan! Gotta love it when they get ****** and then you surprise them. It keeps the adrenalin going and spice things up. LoL =-)

Congrates

yeah was great as the last month or two could tell she was annoyed as our weekends were getting filled up and i wasnt mentioning anything to do with engagement etc.......the maccas lunch topped it off though...pretty sure she was like WTF is he doing this is crap lol

Congratulations Simon. All the very best for the future for you and your partner.

Congratulations Simon!!

Now for the next chapter in life

Great work Simon

the dog then the finace, got that in the right oirder

May i suggest KFC for the reception, the family feast there stretches a long way -

Well Done simon! Congratulations!!!

Best wishes to the both of you!

now time to research a ppl mover..........lol......jokes.....think ive decided no new car for me until i have fully payed off the sportivo...well close enough to fully.....then that awful predicament of finding the right car.....from the vid above a nice STI tuned liberty would be nice although they are hovering at around the 50k for a fair new one.....still the caldina is a nice choice but has age against it....warranty would be nice on a purchase

Red Rooster would be my recommendation as they are less packed than KFC...

good point, is this going to be a small wedding

or is everyone on this forum invited?

whitestivo

on the smaller side i think...may prob ***** some of my extended family off too but oh well....i see it that if we havent seen each other or spoken in over a year or more we aint that close...majority of my family we are close as with etc......not sure on numbers maybe 70-90

Congrats..

Congratulations mate.

All the best for the years to come.

Well done Simon all the best to you and your partner ...just don't do what i'm doing,been engaged to my better half for nearly 6years now...just can't seem to pull the wedding trigger.
