Short Excerpts Of Wedding And Proposal Stories
Posted in wedding by: Wendy StollerWe first met in a Brisbane pub in 2003. We didn’t exchange details at that time but met again at another Brisbane pub around 3 months later. We have been together ever since. Michael proposed on our 5th anniversary together. He had me convinced that it would never happen because he couldn’t afford a ring. Little did I know that he had opened a secret bank account and was saving for a ring. After we had been out for dinner he told me that he had a small gift for me – even though we said no anniversary gifts. He presented me with a beautiful engagement ring.
I was on an Oktoberfest tour in Germany and Ben was my tour guide. I thought he was very good looking and full of personality as I’m sure did most of the girls on the tour. We chatted on the bus home and he mentioned that he had moved out of his share house in London and needed a place to stay or “doss” (backpacker term). I offered my lounge room and he took me up on it and the relationship grew from there. We stayed in London a couple more years and then backpacked around USA, Canada and Sth America before heading home. Whilst in Peru in South America we decided to trek the Inca Trail. After five days of very little sleep, very little food and heaps of walking we reached machu picchu the famous Inca ruins. It was here at sunrise overlooking the ruins that Ben asked me to marry him. Exhausted as we were it was a beautiful proposal and of course I said yes!
What we found challenging was getting the wedding chapel and wedding reception venues decorated in time. We had to do the wedding chapel the night before but the wedding reception venue we had to do on the day so it was very hectic. If I had my time over I would have booked the place out the day before and set it up the night before.
Our wedding ceremony was held at Latrobe Chapel in Paddington, Brisbane. It was a gorgeous little blue and white chapel, with wooden floors, red carpeted aisle and chandeliers. I was walked down the aisle by my big brother to see my amazing husband ….oh what a feeling!! The wedding ceremony was the best part of my day and I have never been as excited as I was at this moment. I wish we could do it all again in slow motion as it all happened so quickly.
Heath proposed to me while on holiday in England with my family at Christmas in 2005. Everyone had said ohhhh he will ask you for sure when you go home! But I wasn’t so sure! But he did!!!! It was so beautiful and so very sweet! He asked me the day before we left to come back to Australia while out for lunch with my mum and dad! He turned to my Dad and said I love your daughter very much and I would like to ask your permission to marry her!!! And then he turned to me and asked me! I just couldn’t stop smiling!!! All the way home, you couldn’t get the smile off my face!!!
On our 4th year anniversary Ty proposed on bended knee in the lounge room of the first home we purchased together, it was very memorable as Ty is usually so good with words but he was so nervous that could barely get all of the words out that he wanted to say.
