WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT

Friday, May 25th, 2007

So I’m going to be Mrs Ryan Hunt!!!!

Ryan proposed to me on Saturday.  It was a TOTAL surprise! It was our anniversary on Monday & I was thinking he might do it then, or when we go away this weekend, but he said he wanted to do it so that I wasn’t expecting it & I have to say, I WASN’T!!!

How did it happen?  Well, he cooked me a delicious dinner & then we went in the lounge to watch a movie. Hilariously we ended up watching ‘The Break Up’.  We’re sat there & Ryan says ‘you need popcorn, you never watch a movie without it, I’m going to make you some’. I have to say, I’d just stuffed myself with noodles, so the last thing I wanted was a huge bowl of popcorn. Anyway.He came back in with the bowl & I sat munching on it ~ so much for not wanting it!  Picture the scene. The lights were off, the room is only lit by the TV, I’m avidly watching Jennifer Aniston scream at Vince Vaughn. I look down in to the bowl & there’s a mouse tail in the bowl!!!!! I screamed, threw the bowl on to the floor & started yelling like a fish wife ‘there’s a mouse, Ryan, there’s a mouse!!! I was screaming blue murder.

Ryan was desperately trying to calm me down, saying ‘pick up the bowl, it’s not a mouse, you need the bowl, pick it up’. Eventually I picked it up & looked in the bowl. He was right, it wasn’t a mouse, but a black velvet pouch. Quizzically, I pulled it out & opened the pouch. Inside was a charm for my charm bracelet, an engagement ring charm!!!!!!!!! I stared at Ryan, mouth open, speechless for the first time in my life. He looked at me & said ‘So I was wondering if you would like to marry me?’ ~ my mind went blank & I just sat there for what felt like an age until Ryan said ‘you really need to answer me now, you’re scaring me!’. Of course I said yes, cried lots & ran around the house screaming!!

It was the perfect proposal & utterly unexpected. He delivered it perfectly & made me feel like I will remember it forever. I do eat popcorn with every movie & from now on I’ll always be looking for a pouch!

We went to order the ring last night! It’s gonna be about a month before I get it, but it’s worth the wait!! We have to go in next week to pick the diamond (as if I have a clue what I’m looking at ~ they could give me a cubic zarconia for all I’ll know!!).  Then they send it off to get it put in to the shank.  This is what it will look like, although it will be silver not gold ….. ring.jpg….. what do you think?

There’s SO much to think about but we’re just trying to enjoy being engaged for the moment, although in true Kelly style I’m already all over it pestering Ryan with colours & themes & favours!

We absolutely can’t wait to share this with you all & I’m really looking forward to keeping you updated on our plans xx

Fun’s over for another year

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Well the birthday celebrations have come to a close for another year & what a week it’s been. 

I’ve been to dinner more times than I can remember, I’ve had wonderful breakfasts both at home & out with friends, I’ve been on suprise picnics, I’ve met more waxwork celebrities than you can shake a stick at, I’ve received some thoughtful & wonderful gifts & I’ve had a thoroughly brilliant time!!!  It’s been a busy few days, all coming to a close today with a quiet dinner at home with Ryan & a bloody good nights sleep I think.  There are lots of photos for you to see: Birthday photos which give you an idea of what we got up to over the last few days.  There will be more to come as well so be sure to check back!

How do I feel now I’m a year older?  A little bit more creaky & a lot more sensible!  No more going to bed at 5am & waking up with a hang over for me … I’m all sensible now!  In bed by 1am with a few pints of water to keep me going.  Ryan laughs at me, but I’m the one laughing the next day when he’s feeling ropey ;0)

Here’s looking forward to next year ~ as soon as I start planning I will let you all know.  There will probably be an email going out next week!!!

It’s nearly here

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

How excited am I?!  Not only is it only 4 days until my 28th birthday, but I’ve received 2 birthday cards already ~ only helping to build on the birthday frenzy!  I haven’t opened them though as I’m sure they are the only cards I will get in the post, so I’m waiting until Wednesday.

Ryan & I are going in today to book our Christmas holiday which is SO very exciting too!  We have decided to go to Egypt & do a 15 day tour over Christmas & New Year.  It will include all the sights from Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & under the sea as we are going to Dahab to learn to scuba dive as part of the trip.  I’ve been to Egypt before a few years ago, but Ryan has never been, so I’m looking forward to seeing his reaction.  I haven’t been to Cairo though, so the pyramids etc will be new to us both.  Can’t wait to see them, I just hope that we get to see them when there’s not too many tourists about ~ they always spoil the view!  The weather for the trip wont be too hot either, at about 20-25c, so it will be just nice to see everything.  Last time I was there it was between 40-47c everyday, which was almost unbareable. 

I can’t get too excited about this yet though, we’ve go soo much to do before then, what with the tipi trips, learning to ski etc & of course ~ my birthday!

Summer lovin’

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

So this week in London has been super hot & sticky, summer is finally here – 36 degrees this week!  Hottest place on the planet supposedly, wow!!  Ryan & I went to Brighton last weekend & sunbathed on the pebbly beach – see how empty the beach was. 

We’ve been very busy the last few weekends, travelling about & having people come to stay.  We have also been busy making our flat pretty, take a look. They are just a few photos of the flat & the park by where we live, for those that care.  I can’t take any photos of the lounge at the moment as there are 4 stinky Aussie boys staying in there & it’s carnage!  They have taken over the flat & made a big ol’ mess.  I’ll put some up soon.  If you look at the kitchen photos, take a look at the floor ~ we layed that ourselves yesterday.  We’re very proud of ourselves!  It only took 4 hours & we didn’t try to kill each other once, although Ryan did throw the kitchen scissors at me at one point!  He’s going in to anger management tomorrow.

We had a party a few weeks ago, which was a lot of fun.  There weren’t many photos though, although this one was quite amusing!  Kinda sets the tone & gives you an idea of how it all went down.

We’ve both got a busy week this week, Ryan is going to launch a new facility on Skype ~ his photo will be on the site on Tuesday so go check it out!  I’m back to work doing the same old thing just getting on, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Right off to make myself some lovely dinner & settle down to a movie.  I hope you all have a lovely week xxx
