☼ So... After being proposed to on Saturday 28th May 2011, I've already decided on writing a Wedding Journal 
☼ Here is our story... (Sorry for the essay!)
Me (Jess) and Andy have known eachother since school. Andrew was rather besotted with me and liked me a lot. However I always tried making him avoid asking me out because I was having problems and didn't want to get him involved. Despite that, we remained good friends throughout school for a whole 4 years
He only stayed in Art because he knew I was there 
Anyway, sure enough we left school, and I would get so excited when I knew I'd see him at a place, and everytime he'd help carry all the heavy stuff back home to help my mum. This started to get my mum fond of him, which made me rethink the whole situation between us. I was just mainly scared of ruining our friendship .
However, a year after leaving school with many awkward moments between us, that a few days after my 18th birthday party he asked me on a date.
I still had a few problems, but my mum suggested I try it as he was a nice lad and had been trying to get me for 5 years
So there I was, a few days later - standing at the cinema a nervous wreck feeling as though my knees were going to give in! My heart pounded as I saw him walk up to me
We looked both as nervous as eachother - it was like we'd both forgotten that we were good friends and knew this was getting into the serious stuff!
The date went well, we both enjoyed the film Other Guys, as we sat gradually leaning onto eachother. After the film, it began to rain as we waited at the bus stop
and as he pulled me close to keep me walm I completely melted! As we got off of the bus he wrapped his arms around my shoulders as we both walked to his - I had never had been so nervous!! 
We got to his flat (that he had clearly made an effort to look all tidy
bless him) It was there that he cooked me a delicious meal as we sat on the sofa. We had the typical quietness as we sat both nervously, he then got up went to the bathroom and came back to say "Jess, I've been wanting to ask you something for 5 or so years now, but I'd really like it if you'd be my girlfriend." To which I replied "That's good because I'd really like it if you'd be my boyfriend." Soon after we kissed and then one thing led to another ...after that he sweetly played and sang guitar to me as we lay in bed 
I know it sounds cheesy, but because I've had a rather crappy life - it was from that day that things started to look up. Since then we've kind of rushed into a lot of things probably faster than most couples would, but as we've been good friends for 5 years before this, it just felt so right - and it feels like we've been partners for centuries
We started TTC just after 3 months of going out, and had been TTC for 2 months before getting pregnant. We were on cloud nine
We'd already started saving when we made the decision to TTC so we already had £150 in savings before we knew we were expecting. We both really enjoyed looking and buying little baby things but sadly at 8w4days on 02/05/11 we lost our angel 
We've started TTC straight away so fingers crossed with that! However on Saturday 28/05/11, Andy took me to the zoo for a lovely day out, then a delicious meal later that evening, then when the beautiful sun was going down - he took me to my special thinking place and got down on one knee
I couldn't believe it and was so excited!
...Sorry if I've bored you with my story, but there you have it
