A Honeymoon with a difference
A few years ago I decided that the time had come to propose to my girlfriend. We’d been seeing each other for two or three years and I knew everything about the relationship was right. The thing was, I wanted it to be really special. I didn’t want to propose and then wait five years to actually get married like some people do – if I was going to do this then it had to be done right!
I decided that I would propose to her in the place we had our first date, a lovely little restaurant which we’ve been back to a few times. I found a beautiful diamond ring. Nothing too ostentatious, just dainty and classic. All of this was fine, I’d been over my plans of what to say a hundred times, and to be honest I was pretty convinced that the answer would be yes. The only thing I wasn’t too sure about was where to take her for our honeymoon.
I Knew that She would like to get married in the summer, and it was already March. I had to act fast if I wanted everything to be able to happen this year so I started trying to find somewhere fantastic, and a bit different for us to go. After spending literally hours trawling the internet I had a great idea – we could go on an African Safari! My girlfriend loved wild animals and she had always wanted to see Lion’s and Elephant’s in the wild. I decided to go ahead and book something thinking that an African Safari would be best.
The day came to propose and everything went perfectly! We had dinner, she said yes, we married in the summer, and we had the most exciting and romantic holiday of our lives on safari on the African planes.
