Stacy and Grantham

I love the way my husband, Grantham aka Snorks, proposed!! It was 2006 I'd gone to London on a 2 year working visa to help start a church, Snorks came over a month after me but on a cricket contract down in the south of England so I only got to see him once but at the end of the cricket season he came and stayed with friends of ours for 6 weeks in London! He told me secretly that he wanted me to be his wife but that he needed to speak to my dad. He had to change his ticket and stay an extra month as my parents were coming to London for my birthday. He asked my dad the day before my birthday but he decided to not propose yet but to wait until I was back in SA, a little bit of a torture for me!!!!

THE EXCITING PART

5 months later I came home for easter and 2 weddings but I was going back to London in 2 weeks for another 4months so I wasnt 100% sure if Snorks would propose, even though I did know he had a ring ready and waiting. I thought if he did he'd take me up onto the mountain and propose, but if you know me I'm an out there person so as much as this would have been amazing I need a little more excitement especially as I knew he was one day going to propose. I arrived in Joburg on Wednesday 28 March 2007 so unbelievably excited to step onto SA soil as I hadnt been home for a year. I sat on the plane and cried my eyes out cause I was home and going to see my man and family. Unfortunately I waited an hour to get my bags but at this time 3 other plains had landed, this was before they changed OR Tambo and therefore all passengers came out of the same terminal. As I walked out with my massive trolly to find Snorks all I could see was hundreds of people. I stood still in the middle and started looking for him, next minuite he runs out to me gives me a big hug and a bunch of flowers and tells me he loves me so much, next minuite he puts his hand in his pocket pulls out a ring box gets onto his knee, opens the box and says will you marry me, in front of about 200 people. Wow I was completely shocked, said yes, yes YES! Grabbed him and kissed him, by this time everyone was shouting and screaming congrats, there was even a flash that went off (not sure if it was taken of us though)! If you know me it's completely my kind of proposal but if you know my hubby it's totally out of character for him, he's quiet and loves the out doors. He did really well!!
