I can be quite a sentimental soul at times but always prefer to keep my personal life and blog fairly separate and only share select snippets at very special times. If you follow me on twitter or instagram (pinkpixiedoll) it is likely you are fully briefed on my news but for those who don’t, I have an announcement… I’m engaged! What was already set to be an amazing holiday on the other side of the world was made even more memorable by Rob’s proposal two days in, on my birthday in New Zealand. Barefoot on a deserted beach at sunset, it was the most romantic moment of my life and was left in flood of tears, nodding profusely at his question. It was so natural, so perfect, I just keep reliving the moment in my head.
Eleven years ago this September was when I first met Rob. At sixteen I wasn’t looking for my soulmate in life but love works in mysterious ways and the rest, they say, is history. I’ve spent half my teens and the whole of my twenties with Rob by my side. He’s the man who will ungrudgingly take a hundred outfit photos for me just so I have two decent ones for my blog. He’s the guy that always cooks me dinner as I am a fiend to the kitchen. Rob is completely selfless and supports me in everything I do. He’s the man that shares in my childish humour and never judges me when I devour a whole slab of Dairy Milk to myself. When we moved in together he gave me half his wardrobe for my shoes, accepted that you can never have too many scented candles and didn’t grumbled once when my makeup storage overtook half our bedroom. He is one in a million and is now my fiancé. With a beautiful wedding to plan and whole new chapter of our lives to embark on, I am so excited for our future together.
This is such a lovely post Millie! Sounds like the perfect proposal & being a wedding planner I can tell you, you will have sooooo much fun over the next year or two planning!
Congrats!

Oh gosh I just had to comment. I knew you were engaged anyway, and I've absolutely loved your travelling photos, but this post just took me by surprise and I ended up crying so much! Love does sure work in mysterious ways. I've only been with Dan 2 years but I knew it was right straight away – And what you wrote at the bottom is just… Us, too. He takes all my blog photos and he doesn't judge about the junk food and even bought me a yankee candle for my birthday to add to my hundreds of candles, haha, its him!!
I showed him the post and he came running in 'EVERYTHING SHE SAID IS ME… I'M AMAZING!' And a massive hug, haha he's cute. Thanks for this post, you've solidified what a fab guy I have. I wish you two all the best, honestly! And if you want a photographer, get in touch, ha.
Lorra love xx
Eeek so exciting! I'm looking forward to any posts about weddings as I am also beginning wedding planning. I met my fiance when I was 16 too but I'm 22 so we've been together 6 years 🙂
Congratulations!

I think it's wonderful that bloggers are able to share bits of their personal stories in their blogs. Not many people find their soulmates at 16. You're lucky.
