Jacqueline and Rab

It was about a week before Christmas and we were just about to go out do some shopping. Rab said to me before we went out " What do you want for xmas?" I joking replied a "Big rock please!!" he then whipped out about £600 from nowhere and said C'mon then - I couldn't believe it I was gob smacked (which is not like me!).
I had to go and do my nails, as I didn't want the sales assistant to think I was a scruff!! Picking the ring was so hard - so many to choose from - I finally decide on a Princess cut of 4 diamonds and 5 small diamonds going down the ring shank - its truly sparkling!!
However, I wasn't allowed to wear it yet as he still not asked me to marry him! On Christmas day he showed my parents the ring - which lead to mum crying her eyes out saying "Oh - this is the best Christmas yet!!" - but I still hadn't been asked - this is torture as I had my self all prepared!!
It wasn't until New Years Eve 1999 that he finally asked me to marry him - Twice!! - Once in the house b4 we left to go out and again as the bells tolled a New Year, New Century, and New Millennium. It was really quite romantic - but I suppose you had to be there!!!
We finally set a date for Our Wedding 24/05/03 - 6 years after we first met.
