We met in the departure lounge at Heathrow airport. I still tease her about how she greeted me straight away with a kiss (albeit on the cheek) and she likes to remind me how hungover I was. Next stop Pensylvania and three months at Camp Tioga as camp counsellors.
My intention before Camp America was to go home to Derby on my return but something told me that Leeds might be worth one more shot. It just happened to be where Rache was studying.
It only took me five years to finally pop the questions at Rookery Hall in Cheshire. Luckily for me she said yes! The hotel was beautiful and the service was just what was needed for a nervy fiance to be, trying to keep a secret! I left the camera bag at home so here are a few pictures captured on Rache’s compact.
She’d have killed me if I’d proposed in front of lots of people so the hotel kindly arranged for us to enjoy a glass of bubbly in the gardens. Here are a few picture of the scene of the crime the next morning!
I decided to propose on the weekend of Rache’s birthday and so on the Sunday we got together with friends and family for a Sunday lunch and double celebration.
