He Said Yes!
When Gabi met Antonio she knew he was the one. Asking him to Marry her was going to be an honour. And on Saturday 21st January Gabi did exactly that. She asked her boyfriend to Marry her! After a Mystery Adventure, ending in McCrae Beach with a picnic set up to die for, there was no better way.
A girl asking a guy? It’s not a common occurrence. “The traditional way”. But why not? Your happy and in love and you want to ask your significate other to Marry you. Why does it always have to be the guy asking the girl first? It doesn’t! If you need help planning your proposal to him, her, them or they. We are here to help!
We had a quick chat to Gabi to get more details:
Q: How long have you been dating?
We were only dating almost 2 years however I was lucky enough to fall pregnant only 2 months into dating Antonio, then when our baby was 9 weeks old we bought a house together. So we have done things in reverse.
Q: How did you decide that you were wanting to ask him?
I decided after we had been teasing each other saying well you haven’t put a ring on it. And that we would tease each other saying were both still unsure of each other :-P. However I did ask him a while ago through an off the cuff comment, “if I were to propose to you would you say yes?” and he did reply saying of course I would.
Plus over the years we have been through a lot and he has done so much for me and our little baby that I just wanted to show him just a small token of my appreciation I have for him, and that everything he has done hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Q: How did you ask him?
On the day I planned a scavenger hunt and the proposal through Perfect Proposals, were we ended up at McRae beach. At the beach I basically said, “Do you see anything?” He saw the sign “Marry Me” and he was speechless. This is when I got on one knee and asked him if he would marry me one day.
Q: Did you give him a ring?
Yes I had previously organised a Cartier ring that I had dragged him to the shops to try on. He had no idea.
Q: Do you still get a ring?
HELL NO!! He needs to propose to me now 😊 apparently he has made this a competition and he is going to OUT DO my proposal.
Q: Was your partner considering doing it?
Yes I think so but not for a while.
Q: Had you discussed Marriage together?
Yes we had discussed marriage but we want to wait until our baby is able to be the flower girl and she is only 10 months so we have a while to go 😊
Q: How did you feel after?
I was nervous on the day but afterwards I was super happy as I got the reaction I wanted. I just wanted to see him smile and be genuinely happy.
Q: Any advice for any other women out there considering asking their partner?
I reckon go for it. Worst case scenario they say no and at least you have your answer. Then you won’t waste any time. Time is precious and if you believe you have found the one why not let them know how much you love and care for them. Yes it isn’t traditional for the female to ask the man but who cares about traditions these days.
Q: Anything else you would like to touch on? (Advice, Thoughts etc)
It is sad but to me marriage doesn’t mean what it used to mean. Now days it is so easy for people to get married, get divorced and then get married again. Being engaged doesn’t mean you have to get married but it does mean that you are committed to that person and that not matter what happens you will be there to support and bring the best out of each other.
Gabi isn’t the first lady we have met to propose to her man. And she won’t be the last. So if your thinking about it an need some advice please let us know
