Cheryl...GETS ENGAGED!

Yes, as most of you know I am now a engaged lady and I am super duper happy! Michael proposed to me yesterday whilst in Rome and it was every bit as romantic as I imagined especially as we were celebrating 6 years together. I am still beaming from ear to ear and after all the giddy excitement we went for a beautiful meal at our favouite Rome restaurant and no expense spared, we both got HUGE steaks and big desserts-it was awesome! 

The ring was my Nan's engagement ring and is beautiful and I think, very unique <3 To know she wore it makes it feel very special for me.

Michael and I have discussed when we like to get married and have decided on August 2014 which gives us enough time to plan and book things. I have to tell you, being an extreme planner anyway, I am SO excited to plan our wedding. Michael would like to be part of it obviously but I am hoping my thrify nature will come into play when it comes to things like invitations, favours etc. We have ideas on where we would like to get married but for now I shall enjoy researching, it will be a lovely thing to keep my mind off my anxiety and I am really feeling that happiness in my heart that I have always felt desperate for. I am thinking of perhaps starting a new blog for my wedding planning if anyone is interested in reading it? 

Oh and our holiday was fantastic! I coped well with everything (flying etc is always tough for me) and we ate ice cream, walked for hours around the city, scoffed on pizza and calzone, visited museums and all the main sights. I took A LOT of photos so I will do a blog this week about our holiday. For now though I shall keep gazing at the sparkly diamonds on my finger and dream of all the great things to come :).......xoxo
