Default Engaged!!

Not been on / in here for ages, but I just thought i'd share my good news with you all, I got engaged last Saturday! Went to the netherwood hotel at grange over sands, absolutely amazing place got down on one knee and asked her! I was shaking, and she said yes! I have known the girl for a very long time and i'm still grinning now. I just cant wait for the engagement party now, free bar courtesy of the Father in Law to be, should be a top night.



Oh and just to keep you updated on my car front, the M5 has gone, still got the cabriolet though and a noble

Nice one mate. Must have been a posh place: You're both all dressed up proper and the photo looks quite old and posh inside. Is that one of their publicity shots? Looks professional with the photo frame effect round it.
A noble and buys Ł4k rings !! She's picked a right one mate..altho looking at her so have you.
Congratulations to you both...and welcome back to PF

HAHA, cheers mate she is a dream girl!! The photo was actually taken by a group of people that were behind us who had gone to the hotel to celebrate a 60th Birthday combined with the mercedes owners club. They e-mailed it me with the frame already done etc, very kind of them indeed!

http://www.netherwood-hotel.co.uk/ - is where it took place, stunning venue, amazing rooms although there are only 31 of them so availablilty can be a nightmare especially for the suites.

I cant believe you said it, but the manager of the hotel did take a few pics of which i'm still awaiting and has asked if he could use in the brochures etc of which he will sort us out some accomodation for!

Down-side there is you will end up getting one lot of combined Wedding and Christmas gifts.

Have them split by a few months and you'll get double the amount

Edited to add: just been thinking about that Ł4k ring !
That's a decent amount for a tidy Mk3/4 RST ! Hope she knows what you've given up to buy that

Very good thinking!! The ring was actually Ł4900.00!!

And she keeps stealing my 4 month old bmw cab and leaving me with her 1.2 clio thats full of shit and has done prostitue mileage for a 53 plate and it totaly fucked. To top it all I think she's scared of petrol stations as well as it always comes back empty
