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 ….. 
….. 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
Good lord!!! So Ryan & I woke to a media frenzy this morning ~ Posh & Becks had NOTHING on us!!!
