Flutterbydott... Gets Engaged!!

A little insight into the most surreal week of my life!

On April 12th, I woke up early after planning to go to the gym with my friends. My boyfriend Andrew had other plans!

Andrew and I don't do the typical 'date nights' - I have nothing against them, it's just something which we have never decided to do! Instead in 2015 we made a bucket list of everything we wanted to do in 2015. Andrew decided he wanted to do something form the list, but this something would be kept a secret - kind of like a date night albeit it was in the morning.

Anyone who knows me know that /i am the most organised person in the works so a change of plan and having no clue where I was going was a complete nightmare for me! All I wanted to know was what to wear and whether our day out was worthy of straightening my hair!

A short car journey later and we arrived on at the Norfolk Broads. The weather was perfect so we decided to hire a boat for the day. After circling the river trying to find the closest pub, Andrew switched the boat engine off, took my hand and asked me to marry him. Words cannot describe how happy I was, after 8 years of being together, this feels like the start of a new journey.

Through heaps of watery mascara, I obviously said yes and we sailed to the next pub where Andrew had arranged for both of our families to meet (isn't it typical that on the one day which is all about you, you end up looking like a watery mess! - must buy waterproof mascara for the wedding!).

I've never been able to find the words to tell Andrew just how special he is and how much I love him but I can honestly say that I couldn't find a better match! We are two peas in a pod and just meant to be together!

So these past few weeks have been pretty surreal and I've been desperate to get my laptop fixed so I can do this post!!

With weddings comes planning - yay!! This means new stationary, magazines and a new series of blog posts - Wedding Wednesdays! I'll be telling you everything about my wedding plans. The good the bad and the ugly!!

I'd love to follow other brides journey on planning their big day so please comment below if you're getting married or know any good wedding blogs! I would love to see them!

Love Charlotte X
