So yesterday the family and I watched the Downton Christmas Special to start the morning off right (I have sooooo much tv to catch up on, it's ridiculous) and just OH MY GOD YES YES YES YES YES.
I always assumed that Dad proposed to my Mum, but I've just realised that I don't actually know. I have the vague idea that he did, so us kids must have asked Mum about it once. I can guess that Dad was very bashful and shy about it. Dad hates giving speeches, but he would have wanted to do it properly. But who knows? They were pretty young when they married (both 21) so any scenario is up for grabs, really. Some which I don't want to think about. Eww!
Huh. I don't think I know how my parents got engaged, either. I know that for their first date, they went door-to-door selling light-bulbs, and that they eloped before their wedding and my grandma thought they were joking and almost tore the wedding certificate up.
*cuddles you*
(btw, it's been in the 40s all week and NO SNOW! I'm soooo happy. Just three more days and I'll have a snowless!birthday. My first... well, probably ever. Yay!)
