That is what was said to me straight after asking Claire to marry me last thursday of course she followed that with a “hell no!” jokes :D she said yes!

So its done, we are engaged and i can safely say we are both completely over the moon and couldnt be happier, its still a bit surreal telling people as its not really sunk in yet as i still kinda feel like im building up to asking her.

A quick search on Google to find out the definition of engagement brings back a few comical results:

battle: a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war; “Grant won a decisive victory in the battle of Chickamauga”; “he …
date: a meeting arranged in advance; “she asked how to avoid kissing at the end of a date”
betrothal: a mutual promise to marry
employment: the act of giving someone a job
employment for performers or performing groups that lasts for a limited period of time; “the play had bookings throughout the summer”
contact by fitting together; “the engagement of the clutch”; “the meshing of gears”
the act of sharing in the activities of a group; “the teacher tried to increase his students’ engagement in class activities”

We have yet to set a date for the big day, but as with most things Claire and I do it will be done within our own time and not rushed, but that said we have a pencilled date of 25/10/2013 a date Claire randomly spurted out the day before i proposed… so who knows!
