Michelle and Aaron's Engagement party

Michele has been waiting for Aaron to pop the question for almost a year and a half - and not in the "traditional" sense of just asking and hinting- Aaron bought her engagement ring almost 2 years ago, on their credit card- for insurance- He then filed the statement and continued his life as usual. Michelle later on has a faulty appliance and wants to check where it came from- she's looking through the credit card statements and there she sees his expenditure, at THE store for the price of THE perfect ring.

She couldn't say anything to Aaron because he was obviously planning a surprise and she wasn't supposed to know.
So every weekend away or day out there would be a "Maybe today" text. Followed by a "not today" text.
I don't know how she didn't give herself away!

He finally asked her at the petting zoo, in front of the meercats.
Obviously, she said yes!

To celebrate their finally getting engaged they hired the coach house private bar at the Ship pub- Which is excellent and has Midori.
And her mum made the most amazing engagement cake. I did ask if her mum would make the wedding cake but apparently they've set their sights on a wedding in Malta, and customs don't allow the import of home made cakes.
Which is a real shame from where I'm standing.
