THE PROPOSAL On September 15th 2012, Dean took me kite flying on Hay Tor, Dartmoor. After a few hours of mixed success and lots of laughter he suggested going to the Two Bridges Hotel to warm up with a coffee in front of one of their open fires. When we arrived Dean enticed me for a short walk along the river bank, once we were under the trees on a tiny clearing at the waters edge, Dean got down on one knee and with a ring box in one hand asked me to marry him! I felt so ecstatic, my immediate answer was YES!

The following day, Dean arranged for us to have dinner with my Dad and Step mum Penny, it was then that he asked my Dad’s ‘permission’ to marry me, all be it retrospectively! Luckily Dad and Penny were very happy for us. Sadly my Mum had passed away several years earlier and Dean told me that the night she was very ill just before she died, he had promised her that he would one day marry me. It is lovely to know that she gave her blessing to him.

We then went into the Two Bridges where a pre-booked romantic four poster bed suite with flowers, champagne and chocolates was waiting for us! We also enjoyed a romantic candle light dinner. My engagement ring was stunning, Dean designed it himself and had it made, much to his relief it fitted perfectly. It really is one of a kind and so is he! 25
