the MOST romantic!!

Hey GUYS! I just wanted to let you know about a little competition that has been running lately. SA Wedding Venues is hosting the "Most Romantic Proposal" competition and Warren and I have been shortlisted for the Durban entries! (I say "Warren-and-I" when really it was all Warren. I just coincidentally "happened" to rock up at the right place at the right time.)

Each of the couples who have been shortlisted have shared their proposal stories - our story is not on the site itself but it links back to the blog post I did on our EPIC ENGAGEMENT STORY which includes two sets of sneaky parents, a weekend away in the Drakensberg, a {delayed} international flight, a missed connecting flight, a bunch of red roses, a hand-sewn jersey, a leather-bound scrap book, a bottle of Vevue Cliquot, a dashingly-handsome man and a very shiny diamond ring.

The Durban prize includes a romantic dinner at The Oyster Box in Durban - I have never been but I have heard only fantastic things...

So, you can go read some of the other cool proposal stories - and then decide that you like ours best and vote for us. Or you can read the others and decide that you don't like ours best - but then still vote for us - because we are awesome. (And a man-sewing-a-jersey is a pretty great thing to watch).

And a few of my favourite random snaps of The Warr and le moi -
right from thai trips, to festivals, to proposals, to engagement shoots.

Warr and I have basically been planning our wedding intercontinentally- and of our entire 1 year engagement period - we have spent literally 7 months apart. Since Warren flies back to South Africa only a week before our wedding - wouldn't it be lovely if we could share a romantic candle lit dinner at the Oyster Box right before our big day?

Yes. Yes it would be.

So please vote for us ya'll!

thanks,

i'll bring you a doggy bag.
