I never stopped talking about it, so I think Niall got the hint and surprised me with a trio for my 30th birthday. I never thought for a second I&#8217;d come back engaged. He planned everything so well god bless him, but it turned out a disaster for him! He wanted to propose at the Trevi Fountain and when we arrived in Rome that night we went there straight away (as he promised my mam he would propose the first night) only to learn it was being renovated! There wasn&#8217;t a drop of water to be seen in the fountain! We were walking around for about an hour after and I was complaining about being cold as it was getting late. All of a sudden, I was looking up at a beautiful bridge with lights on it, turned around and there he was on blended knee behind me about to propose. I jumped up and down with so much excitement I knocked the ring out of his hand and forgot to say yes!

The team is fantastic and nowhere else compares for us. We both love Langtons as we also we met there. Mr. Sean Read is beyond brilliant. I know him a long time as he lives in my hometown. Anything we wanted, nothing was a problem. Langtons cannot do enough for their customers. The ballroom was just the way we wanted it, the layout was perfect.
