Mat and I had been dating close to nine years when he asked me to marry him. At our six year anniversary mark we decided we wanted to save enough money to go get married in Hawaii. Fast forward a year, house prices were sky rocketing and the interest rate was good. So the proposal and wedding had to wait. We bought our first home.
Fast forward another year & Mat had started to work with a Jeweler in Sydney on my ring. He put so much effort into the design - from start to finish it took nine months to create.
Mat proposed on the 17th of July this year in the picturesque Wineglass bay in Tasmania. To get to the lookout where he asked me, we had to walk up a long and steep mountain which took about 3 hours ! It was so long that I did complain a few times along the way! He got down on one knee, and presented me with the most stunning engagement ring, and I said yes!
The spot where Mat proposed!
