Our Story
Our First Date
Angelo took me to the Oxo tower in Central London for a romantic dinner! We had a table booked over looking the river thames and drunk pink champagne for most of the evening!
The Proposal
Well there was only one place it could be - Rome!! The city we had talked about visiting since we started seeing each other! Rome is an amazing place very romantic! We flew there on my birthday (13.04.2007) business class (which was a complete suprise in itself!). We arrived around lunchtime and went for pizza and pasta at a small restaurant near the Spanish steps. Our hotel was very traditional with it's white washed ceilings, wallpaper murals in the rooms and stenciled tiles in the bathroom. All very gorgeous.
That evening we went to a lovely restaurant in central Rome, where we drank a nice bottle of Barolo wine and did what the Italians do best - eat!! We then took a walk along the cobbled winding streets looking at the lace filled shops and shoes! I eyed a few pairs to purchase before we went home!!! After this we found a bar to have a few drinks in and now I realise that all the Jack Daniels Angelo was drinking wasn't because he was thirsty, it was because he was going to propose. It was lovely, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiffany's box (which at this point I thought were earrings as he just gave me the box). It must have been so awkward in his inside coat pocket the whole evening! He then lean't over and asked me to marry him once I had taken the ring box out. I opened it and immediately fell in love with the ring - he did such a great job and it was only slightly too big!!! Go Mr D! After that we called the family to tell them the news and got very very drunk!
