Real Life Proposal - Don't forget to check the envelope!

Name: Grace O’Sullivan

It was christmas morning and i was so excited to see what my boyfriend Daniel had gotten me!  We let our 1 year old daughter open her presents first, as she could not wait anyway….then he opened his, they ranged from cds, dvds and then onto his xbox 360.  He was delighted.

I opened my first present, it was perfume – no surprise there as i get that for every occasion.  Then i got a dvd and cd myself, then on to the last one.  I couldn’t guess what it was by the shape……i was so shocked to open it and see inside a hand blender!!!  He said he had gotten it for me to help with making our daughter Jennas dinners.  Well, “it’s the thought that counts” I thought to myself.

Then we sat round for about an hour waiting to leave to go see my mam, and he gave me my card, which i opened, read and put the envelope in the bin to his horror as he rushed to the bin and asked did i not look inside the envelope?!  He brought it over to me and I found a beautiful diamond ring inside, he then popped the question!  I was so excited my litle girl didnt know what was going on, and of course i said yes!

We’re getting married next June.  I definitly appreciate getting a card now, and always remember to look in the envelope….haha there might be something in it! 🙂
