How he popped the question:
I knew it was coming, coz we had chosen the design for my ring together, after getting the diamond as a gift from my darling grandmother.  I just didn't know exactly WHEN... so he surprised me.  We'd driven home from Mosselbay in one stretch, and arrived home, dead tired.  As I was unpacking, he brought me a glass of champagne, and he'd put the ring inside the glass, with lots of ice!
