...and she said yes! Last night!

I had decided to do something special with Mel in celebration of the Chinese new year, the year of the Rabbit. Mel was also born in the year of the Rabbit, so it's quite fitting.

Anyway, I had ordered a copy of the book 'Watership Down' (some of you might have read it before? One of my favs, a great story and it's about Rabbits too, haha) and intended on giving it to her as a special new year gift, but it came with a twist...

I had cooked up a nice dinner and we were sitting on the balcony at home enjoying the twilight and a chicken meal which did not go according to plan (I am no culinary genius), and after we had finished I told her I got her a special Chinese new year gift. I go and get the book which I have wrapped up rather nicely (was proud of that), and handed it to her. I had actually written an inscription inside the front cover which was a couple of paragraphs of loved-dovey stuff, and at the end it asks her if she would marry me. While she started reading the inscription I stood behind her, then when she reached the end of the inscription " she took the book down, looked over and there I was in front of her on one knee and with a ring in hand.

Mel is now my Fiancé!

Ah that's so sweet. I'm a rabbit too!

Congratulations to you both.

finally, you have been a bit quite lately cub I was starting to get a bit worried .

Congratulations, Cub! That is wonderful. And, I applaud your very creative proposal.


I'm a horse.

Congratulations! I hope you will be as happily married as my wife and I. 35 years and counting!

Congratulations to you both! I'm very happy for the both of yous!

I was born in the year of the dog. My element is water. Which is interesting, because I'm also a leo. Funnily enough, I'm also in near constant conflict with myself. Strange, isn't it?

Let us know when you guys decide on a wedding date, eh?

Year of the dog

What a great story and it couldn't have happened to a better guy...and gal. Like Gary, my wife and I have been married for many years and wouldn't trade it for anything. Best to you both.

BTW, I'm........an old guy. Couldn't tell you the year.

That's absolutely fantastic news, Cub! Congratulations to the both of you. What a great way to propose to her. I'm sure you'll have many many great years to come. Very happy for you!



I'm born in the year of the Monkey ... Actually I'm a Metal Monkey with the following info:

Metal Monkeys are determined and ambitious individuals and as a result, they’re often successful. Although they’re considered warm-hearted and very likeable, their preference in life is to be alone. Metal Monkeys are loyal to both their employers and their partners.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cub,

I hope Mel realises that she not only gains your family but all of us also...................

Hahaha, good one Lynne!

Thank you all for the kind words and well wishes! We have been having a busy few days doing the rounds with family and friends. All quite exciting really. Mel wants to get straight into planning... saw it coming though!

Cheers!
