The yes day
During
our half term break last year we decided to go to Edinburgh, we made a good old
trip of it as we stopped over in Newcastle for a night as well, which we both thoroughly
enjoyed.
I would
love to share with you all that the proposal was all candles, rose petals and
balloons but we aren’t in a movie are we? Don’t get me wrong it was romantic,
but it was in our own special way, typical Rachel and Scott style.💓
Scott had
been nervous all day he said (I would have been nervous as hell), it was the day we had decided to go Edinburgh
castle. Ideal location to propose right? Yes, but in our world no wrong, as I
couldn’t have imagined him getting down on one knee in a crowded place, he
really does know me too well. So he abandoned that idea, we had a brilliant day
at the castle and the weather was simply beautiful.
We went
for burgers and had a wander back to the hotel, off I trot into the room
and I spot a big red box on the side, me being me I thought he had got me some
earrings (it’s kind of our thing, he buys me them for most occasions which I
love), but nope no I turned around and there he was down on one knee, ring in hand. It was
pretty much a blur after that, but being in that newly engaged bubble was
amazing, it still is as I look at my ring I have to pinch myself that it is
actually happening, someone is wanting to spend their life with me, how crazy
is that? He chose the ring himself and honestly it couldn't have been anymore perfect if I had picked it myself (lol).
We still
had a day or so before we were due home, so we kept the news to ourselves as we
wanted to tell family face to face. That alone was a funny conversation in
itself, I mean who goes to tell their parents that they’re engaged everyday eh?
So Scotland will forever hold a place in our hearts, it was an amazing trip and
the bonus of being newly engaged 100% made it the best day of 2019.
