Surely one of those moments that us girls are supposed to dream of, to long for? Of course, the big question is a big moment, but we think of it as a step along the way rather than the destination...
We've all seen those fabulous proposal videos, heard the stories of the writing on the shore, Eiffel Tower knee dips and whole restaurants swept along with the romance of a sparkler dropped in a glass of champagne. Now, don't get us wrong, all or any of those sound wonderful, but what if your man doesn't push the boat out quite that far? Can you hold your head up among friends who followed a trail of love notes or received the ring in a hot air balloon?
Well, speaking from personal experience, we think you can. Emma's proposal? After a curry at her sister's house. No knee, but at least he sent the nieces off to do the washing up while he asked. But the real romance came in the fact that Mr Illustries#1 had asked Dad for his daughter's hand, had chosen the very ring she'd fallen in love with, and had carried it round for weeks, until he was sure it would come as a real surprise. He was right, she'd been waiting for him to pop the question at a ball in Lucerne, overlooking the lake, starlit sky: no chance. After a korma? Certainly unexpected...
So, we think that the key is to revel in your moment, romantic, practical or somewhere in between. Because we're pretty sure that he's asking because he loves you. And what more could be more special than that?
At Illustries, we're all about memories: remembering, celebrating and enjoying all those special times that can pass too quickly. We think memories deserve to be shared, and so we're sharing. Here, in our blog, we are creating a Library of Days. Our own as we build our business, and yours as you celebrate weddings, births, big life events - you name it, we'll celebrate it!
