Hi!
I have been with my amazing boyfriend for over 2 and a half years I was seeing him a long time before that. I love him to pieces and his stuck by me through the worst year I've ever had to face. We do talk about getting married and almost booked when we was on holiday in fuerterventura earlier this year! We stayed in a very posh hotel and thought it was perfect we had an appointment with the manager and almost booked a bloody wedding lol. We're not engaged but talk about it often. He's definitely not a romantic and I can't see him ever proposing I think we will just do it and book it if I'm honest. However I would love the engagement part of the relationship and actually make things more official in regards to getting off our arses and booking a wedding. We have quite a lot of savings which was for a deposit for a house but we've now found out I won't qualify for a mortgage due to health reasons, and him being self employed it's rather difficult. Even if we did blow the full wack on a wedding it won't take us long to get our savings back up again. Anyway back on track, I think I want to propose to him :-) were both not traditional in any way hence the possibility of us looking at the beaches of the Canary Islands! But I have no idea where to start and what to do! Has anyone ever proposed to their male fella?
Any ideas? ill tell you a bit about him so you get the gist- He is a massive car fan and has 4 cars of his own, a ford focus Rs mk2, a Subaru, a ford fiesta ST, and a corsa rally car. He's a rally driver and owns his own business making custom made body kits for cars out of fibre glass and carbon fibre. He also sub contracts through a plane company making carbon fibre pieces for small 2 man planes. He is a massive formula 1 fan etc.
I didn't know whether to book us into seeing the F1 or a race and doing it there? I don't know how I would do it though. I don't even know his ring size! It wouldn't be for a while I'd save up on the side - wouldn't want him noticing some monies going out the good old saving account! (This is if he doesn't do it first - which I really doubt!)
His parents have been together 30 years and was never engaged they just started planning a wedding but I'd quite like the 'engagement phase' :-) xxxx
