I think that as Shelley brought me a bookmark for my last Birthday she was pretty happy with the chocolates I brought her from the airport last night. But given that for the last week I wouldn't let her look in my rucksack she was convinced I had another Birthday present in there.
After waiting all day we took some Birthday Champagne down to the beach as the sunset. As we were both sitting on the beach I had to ask Shelley to stand up so I could get down on one knee and ask her to Marry me.
As you can see from the photo the answer was YES. I had been thinking about the proposal so much I didn't think to book anywhere nice for dinner, oops. So we ended up in the hotel bar, Shelley scaring the barman with an emotion outburst of tears of joy, the poor guy didn't know where to look but quickly got us another bottle of champagne.
After much champagne we headed back to our chalet by the beach, the resort is quite large and the staff use golf buggies to get around. Full of champagne confidence Shelley decided to flag one down (think hold up), with only one seat spare Shelley declared that as her Fiance I should run behind. All I heard as Shelley whizzed of down the track was "do you know I'm engaged?" "look at my beautiful ring" Despite what Shelley may tell you the driver didn't keep slowing down so I could keep up.
