September the 15th last year me and Chris went on our first aboard holiday together, When we were long distance we went to local British places for weekends away but with being long distance and spending all our money on seeing each other we were never able to save enough money for a big holiday.
When i moved away from home to live with Chris we booked a holiday as soon as i got a job. we booked for 9 nights in Florida and spent over a year paying for the holiday and saving spending money.
We were up early travelling to the airport and had booked ourselves a place in the V-room at Gatwick airport so we could have a breakfast and a rest when we arrive at the airport.
When we arrived at the V-room i popped to the toilet and when i came back Chris started talking about how much he loved me and so happy that we were living together and had so many fantastic plans for the future, he then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him while a member of staff placed a plate on the table with a muffin and “will you marry me” written on the plate.
I was so overwhelmed that i couldn't even reply, i just grabbed the ring ( my dream ring that i pointed out on a few occasions ) and put it on my finger then hugged him. Chris had passed his phone on a waiter while i was in the toilet and they had been taken pictures of the proposal.
We found out after the proposal that Chris was the first person to propose at the V-room and they took our photos and were going to write it up on the website.
About ten minutes later we were ringing family members and i discovered my whole family and his already knew, he had been planning this for over 9 months, my 8 year old sister knew about managed to keep it secret. We sat drinking champagne and eating a full English breakfast at 10:30 in the morning.
We boarded the plane and a few hours later my name was called out to go and see a air hostess, i was a bit worried thinking i was in trouble. i discovered my parents had ordered a bottle of champagne and chocolate to be given to us on the plane with a congratulations message.
This proposal was a complete shock and was the happiest day of my life. when me and Chris got together and was in a long distance relationship i never thought that four years later we would be living together and engaged.
