ohhh these stories are FUN!

My DH totally suprised me on the 'romance' stakes. he was always rather adamant that he wasnt into romantic stuff like weddings etc. so when we went to italy for a few months to catch up with family and friends i had NO IDEA that there was a plan-a-brewing...

we were staying at his mum's place which sits in the foothills of this mountain that has an abandoned 12th century castle that no one ever visits (apart from spotty boy scouts and well, us lol). DH and LOVE that place and would go up everytime we were in italy. so again, when he mentions that we could go up for a picnic on the weekend i was none the wiser. we get to the top and i do notice that he is really quiet and i start to worry (thinking another family 'italian style drama' is about to unfold lol)...anyway we are sitting on this rockface on top the mountain looking over Pisa and across the ocean when he turns around with this small box in his hand and says: 'so will you? will you marry me?' LOL! he was SOOOO NERVOUS!!!! i immediately said yes and we kissed and cuddled for ages then i put the ring on and almost fell off the mountain as i kept looking at it as we walked home lol.

(oh, and apparently he had tried to ask me a few nights before...apparently he had this plan of driving me up to an even bigger mountain that has a big lookout, but he forgot that i am TERRIFIED of mountain roads (and italian drivers...including him lol)...so had a *minor* panic attack and we had to turn around!!)
