Engaged - At Last!!!!
BACKDATED POST:
Well what an exciting day the 3rd June 2012 proved to be. In amongst a month of celebrations (Tanes birthday and my birthday days apart) was a rather exciting, kind of unexpected suprise. Where to begin? How about with the morning of Sunday 3rd June 2012?
Tane and I woke up after a busy night cleaning the house (Why the hell had Tane been so keen to get all the cleaning done Friday? Who knows, Least we'd have the weekend to relax and enjoy...)
Mum and my sister had booked me out to go shopping, Something we do every now and then. Tane had promised me a candle lit dinner as an extension to my birthday present (Which was gun shooting at a friends house)and told me to be home no later than 4/4.30pm...
Of we went. A pedicure first on our shopping list, naturally. Next we started scoping out the stores. Yeah! I was just getting into the swing of it when mum mentioned we needed to get going. It was only about 2.30pm... I was thinking WTF? I've only been to a few stores... and besides Tane said home time was 4/4.30pm.. I was being pushed out the door, literally, thinking it was odd the time discrepancies. I'd told mum Tane wouldn't mind if I was a bit late but she was having none of it. Most unusual of her... So I was bundled back to the car and we headed home about 3/3.15pm.
On our way home mum's mobile rang and my sister answered it... Here is the convo:
'Hi Dad'..... 'Oh really, There's whales down at Long Bay? Crazy'..... 'You want us to meet you down there? Okay. Shall I get Sarah to call Tane and have him meet us down there too?'.... 'Cool'....
I was naturally stoked and amping to head down and see the whales but something about the convo struck me as weird. Firstly - Arent we supposed to be hustling ourselves back home? And secondly... How odd for my sister to ask if Tane should meet us there????
So I phone Tane right away and his phone had loads of noise in the background... What the heck? Here is the convo:
Me: 'Hi babes... Where are you? It's really noisy?'
Tane: 'I'm at the beach'
Me: 'Oh really....?'
Tane: 'Babes... are you there? I can't hear you....'
Then Tane hung up (I later found out it was because he was so nervous he couldn't talk to me)
I hang up and look at my mum and sister... Guilty faces I see... What the hell is going on?
'Okay you two.. What's the deal? I smell a rat so you'd better cough up!' Mum covered well, Saying Tane had organised a candle lit dinner at the beach and not to ruin it because he'd worked so hard on it... Okay I thought, This could be 'IT' ya know the moment he finally pops the question?... I was excited but gutted when I found out there would be no Whales hahaha!
We arrived at the beach and I hopped out announcing to my mum and sister that I best put my game face on and off I tottered to Tane. He was on the beach waiting.
Me: 'Hi Babes, I hear there are Whales, Have you seen any'
Tane: 'No, But I found this' (And he hands me a massive shell https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150990732581329&set=a.10150616134961329.431996.625836328&type=3&theater )
me: Mind going a million miles an hour... A ring box could find in here. This could change my life forever.. And if it's not the grand proposal will I be upset???? I finally say 'Wow, cool... Do you like my toe nail polish?' What an idiot....
Tane: 'Yeah, Nice babes, Are you going to look in the shell?'
Me: 'Yep'
When I opened the shell I notice there isn't a ring box but a plaque with an inscription saying 'Sarah - I love you with all my heart - will you marry me?'
Me: 'What? Really? Honestly like no kidding?' and when I looked up Tane was on one knee with a ring in his fingers asking me to marry him. I burst into tears but naturally said yes! He slipped on the $2 shop ring (I got to choose my own).
My family were all there for the proposal and a couple even witnessed it in the back ground... I was so thrilled, Tane looked VERY relieved. We headed off for a walk along the beach while my parents went home to put the kettle on. I wanted to tell everyone on the beach about what just happened. I was grinning from ear to ear... Awesome.
We got home and I notice a pair of shoes at the front door that weren't anyones I knew... I thought it was a bit odd... We walked in and headed to the lounge. When I opened the door there were about 20 of our friends and family standing there to celebrate with us. The food, and booze, was flowing all evening and I was just on a super high!
What a great day and night.
Now I can officially call Tane my Fiancee :-)
