Public announcement
Writing about A New Beginning from [TBA]
As hinted on Thor’s blog and for those of you I haven’t bumped into recently or seen my Facebook profile.
Rich and I are engaged
For those of you who wondered why it took us so long, you should know the standards I laid out for the proposal.
- I had to be warm / cosy
- I had to be able to see the sea
- It couldn’t be in Coventry (implied by no. 1 and 2)
- No Revvers could be around (which ruled out an Omi – Kev copycat proposal at a Rev event)
Rich got full marks in all of these, going to the impressive lengths of proposing on top of a hill overlooking Barcelona, and hence the sea!
So far, we have:
- 1 church booked (Westwood)
- 1 1/2 bridesmaids (one who’s very excited, the half bridesmaid being the one I haven’t asked yet)
- 1 member of a worship band
- A first pass at a wedding list
- Someone to marry
Any suggestions for reception venues would be gratefully received!

And the announcement is complete, now you’ve blogged about it :-)
I was worried for about the half bridesmaid, so I’m glad you cleared that up! Also I can’t imagine Rich doing a Kevin-copycat proposal… although I suppose he had the mic after singing the Gift To Me solo…
Anyway, I just thought I’d make use of my last evening with the internet to comment on your blog! Love you lots :-)
Yay and all that!

am a little surprised that “someone to marry” comes so far down the list….

Congratulations!

Naomi: Thought the “someone to marry” was a bit obvious, so it was at the bottom for the pedantic people who would have commented that I had forgotten about Rich completely
Casey: Using strong powers of observation you would have know before the masses, as I was wearing the engagement ring when Rich and I saw you and Rob O’Toole in Uni. House Cafe!!

Am not observant enough for that! I did note that you looked more couply than usual though.

hehe – “more couply” – probably because we were in University House on a ‘social’ rather than ‘work’ basis!
Only one person has noticed the ring without Rich or I telling them though…

congratulations, the only reason i didn’t say owt on tuesday was cos i’d only seen it on facebook and wasn’t sure whether it was recent or a long time ago and facebook had only just added “engaged” to it’s list of relationship options.

Congratulations Ali !
How dare you get engaged before me – that’s just rude! ;)
Anyway… I wish you all the good luck and happiness you deserve!
Take care,

Congratulations Ali & Rich! Lots of love and best wishes for a very happy future together.
I’ve finally got with the times and checked out your blog, and you’ll need to give all of your friends sadly departed from Warwick a very detailed description of the ring!!
