Ahhhh I\u2019m Engaged!<\/p>\n

So there we were, just a normal evening, bringing the dog for a walk in Pheonix Park, rain pouring down……..<\/p>\n

The last thing I expected on Wednesday the 24th of April was a proposal. Myself and Eoin have been together for just over seven years so we knew that we would get married but nothing prepared me for the moment I turned around and he was on one knee with a ring in the palm of his hand.<\/p>\n

After I said yes, it didn\u2019t seem real. You imagine this moment in your head but when it happens it\u2019s very surreal. We rang our parents very soon after and I cannot remember anything they said. It was all a blur.<\/p>\n

We text our closest family and friends to tell them the news first hand and everyone was delighted and really excited. Here comes where it all went a bit wrong……<\/p>\n

We got carried away with all of the excitement and decided to change my status on Facebook to \u2018Engaged\u2019. If there is one piece of advice I would give someone else who gets engaged \u2013 Stay off facebook for a few days! We literally were overwhelmed with the amount of attention the post got. Our phones started ringing non-stop The support was wonderful but just a little bit too much too soon. I don\u2019t think I had even grasped that I had got engaged at this stage!<\/p>\n

Apart from that, it was such an amazing feeling and straight away I started thinking \u2018Oh my god I\u2019ve so much to do\u2019. Eoin reminded me that \u2018we\u2019ve got so much to do\u2019……Must learn to delegate!<\/p>\n

Step one this weekend is to go and get the official ring. I\u2019ll report back with how that went next week!<\/p>\n
