It's begun!

We have just entered 2013, the world didn't end and my world feels like its just beginning.

 Almost a week ago it was New Years Eve and my gorgeous boyfriend of 7 years proposed to me.

 Now as any girl can imagine it's at that moment when your heart feels like it immediately stops beating for a few seconds (like your frozen). Only for it to start up again and to catch up it starts to flutter really fast. This is how I felt when I got engaged.

 So now I have a wedding to plan, and like others I am girl with not much money but I want to have the wedding of my dreams. Most of all I want to remember the wedding of my dreams so I will document a weekly blog of what’s going on, how it's happening, up until I have been married.

 Better start with the proposal.

 Me and Luke hate New Years Eve (or we did) so instead of the usual fretting of what to do, we decided to get away, Barcelona was our perfect idea. Unfortunately not all events work out that way and after my old car needed replacing and a new car needed to be purchased we decided to go with the cheaper option and head to Lincoln for our New Year.

 We both studied at Lincoln and there has always been that special something when you walk along the cobbled streets at the top of 'steep hill'. The castle one side and the cathedral on the other. Why not have a night there, nice meal and drinks in the local pubs. We checked in to the White Hart hotel 2mins away from the Cathedral, it was lovely to step away from the chaos of Christmas and get some quiet time.

 After a lovely walk and the a hot bubble bath we were relaxed enough to head towards the Thai No1 and enjoy a beautiful meal together. The meal was fantastic and after we decided to headed towards the pubs. Luke however fancied a walk (He had over eaten). Cobbled streets and high heels didn't really go down too well but it had stopped raining. We passed a street musician playing the Beatles 'Let it be' and headed towards the cathedral, this is our favourite spot (we graduated there). People were sitting on a bench and there was a gorgeous Christmas tree twinkling away - with our Cathedral lit up behind it.

 Then it happened... He began saying words to me that I can no longer remember, as I’m sure you will all know you're to busy thinking Oh my God this is it!!!

When he got on one knee a sense of terror and joy complimented with shock are incredible. Of course I said YES ! The music was playing and the people applauded, it was perfect.

We saw the New Year in as a newly engaged couple. In the past week family have been seen, friends have been spoken to and of course it's been updated on Facebook. With over 150 'likes' and many comments we are thrilled that so many people wish us well.

 I have bought my first wedding magazine, met and told my Maid of Honour and have purchased a wedding planner for all my cut outs and ideas. This is it, I’m getting married and I’m going to make it the best experience. I love my fiancé and he is the world to me. He is my life.

 This is going to be fun!
