I told you 2010 was going to be huge! ; )
In early 2004, Ashley and I went to visit Tinturn Abbey. It was our first adventure outside of the Student Village together (though it wasn't a "date") and when little flakes of snow started to fall from an otherwise sunny sky, our day was made magical.
On January 17th, Ashley took me back to Tinturn Abbey and proposed to me with a red plastic ring inside the Abbey Chapel.
This time we didn't need snow to make the day magical.
(And the red plastic ring was just a joke, by the way. The diamond one was tucked away in his pocket and the scrolls in the setting remind me of the deliate arches of the Tinturn Abbey windows.)

CONGRATS!!!!! How exciting! You guys look so happy and your ring is gorgeous! :)
xo,
Cat
