A Perfect Proposal: Our Unforgettable Weekend

16.07.22


Just after moving into our new house, we were deep into renovations, transforming it into our dream home. The whole week had been a whirlwind and by Saturday, we were exhausted. That evening, we had a 'surprise birthday party' to attend and I wasn't feeling up for it at all. I even considered canceling at the last minute.


Despite my reluctance, we drove towards the city, our journey unexpectedly veering towards Seaforth. My curiosity piqued as we navigated a little street by the water, finally arriving at a gorgeous house on the water. To my surprise, he had booked an Airbnb and the scene that greeted us took my breath away.




White rose petals and candles lined the path, guiding us up the stairs to a serene pool area. In that magical moment, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen. As he got down on one knee, my heart raced. He asked me to marry him and I was in complete shock, tears streaming down my face as I said yes. We kissed and hugged, overwhelmed with joy and love. A photographer from one of my favorite studios in Sydney was there to capture every precious moment, ensuring we could cherish it forever.






But the surprises weren't over. He led me to one of the rooms where a white dress and heels awaited me. He knew I would want to change out of the black dress I had worn. His thoughtfulness left me speechless.


Dressed in white, we drove to a local dock where a boat awaited us. We boarded, accompanied by the photographer and set sail into the twilight. We toasted with champagne, talking about the moment and the future that awaited us. The sunset turned the sky pink, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for our special evening in the middle of winter.





Returning to the Airbnb, we were greeted by our family, ready to celebrate our engagement. We gathered around a cozy fire, sharing a delicious platter and calling close family members to share the joyous news. As the night wound down, our family headed home, leaving us to bask in the afterglow of the perfect proposal, talking in bed until we fell asleep.


The next morning, we woke up to a delicious breakfast, the start of a new chapter in our lives. This weekend, filled with love, surprises and unforgettable moments, marked the beginning of our forever.
