How did your love story begin?

 

A single phone call........
Received a phone call from an old friend, he went hunting with some friends. While having a conversation he mentioned that he has a friend that also wants to chat to me............. a week later I received another phone call and four years later "I DO"

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

We celebrated our 4th anniversary, 4 February 2017. I bought him n compass as he’s my NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST and EVERYTHING in between. He asked me to show him how the compass work, as I turned around to point the compass NORTH direction, he popped the question!!!!
