Daniel’s Version…
Saturday 23rd February – a day to be remembered!
It started with a sleep in and a lazy morning, what I like after a hectic week at work.
Priscilla and I then headed off to Castle Towers and whilst Priscilla was doing her own thing I set off to get some ingredients for a picnic.
From Castle Towers I ‘kidnapped’ Priscilla for the afternoon and drove, and drove… Priscilla got a bit puzzled about the distance we were going for a picnic when I produced snacks to have on the way.
We finally ended up at Wisemans Ferry. We walked around the park for a while and then sat down for a simple picnic.
Priscilla’s Version…
Yes – It’s a day that I will never forget!
At the beginning of the morning I had a gut feeling that Daniel was going to propose to me that day. But that soon disappeared when I saw no evidence of a ring box at all.
It was a Saturday like others we have had throughout our relationship where we find a different location and have a lazy picnic and wander around. The only main difference about this day was that Daniel didn’t share where we were headed.
I got a bit puzzled about where we were headed as it was after 1pm when we headed off and Daniel produced snacks to have on the way. After a few guesses Daniel produced a printout of the Wisemans Ferry area.
The day was lovely and relaxing – couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. We got to Wisemans Ferry after stopping at a lookout on the way down to see the view. We walked around for a bit enjoying the day and then finally sat down for a simple picnic.
We unfortunately didn’t pack a picnic blanket. After a while of sitting on little twigs and other uncomfortable things I had to stand up. I got up and started to help Daniel get up as well, but something was preventing him from getting fully off the ground. I looked down to find that Daniel was on his knees looking up at me holding both of my hands.
It was then that I suddenly realised that Daniel was on his knees to propose. He had in his hand a beautiful ring holding it up in front of me.
His words were “I was wondering… would you marry me?”
Without a hesitation “Yes” was my reply”
The rest of the afternoon was really enjoyable. Daniel and I crossed the river on the ferry and drove up to the Woy Woy area looking around – it was a day full of driving but it was nice to have that time together and take in the fact that we were engaged.
I have to say that I was a bit distracted when we were driving as there was something glistening in the sunlight which was on my left hand!
