Congrats :)
Fantastic news. Congratulations to the pair of you.
That's the 4th engagement I've heard of in the last month.. something in the waters across the globe, or just an indication that most of my friends are in similar age ranges and we're all reaching settling down ages?
Congratulations, both of you! :)
\o/

Congrats. And unlike everyone else I'm pro-beard. I couldn't live without mine!

Daz - I didn't know you were capable of such facial hair!!! :shocked:
That's trimmed right back! You should have seen it before, I looked like a right tramp ;D
Dee will be along to reveal all later!

Will she tell us about the proposal as well??

Dont get bloody clever you ;D Ok, ok, you want the details? Here goes :D
Now, I dont know if Daz had planned it for Top of the Rock from the beginning, (it doesnt sound like it though), but I think we postponed TotR twice due to weather, and just general knackeredness. We finally decided on the Wednesday, lovely clear day, still bloody cold though. Decided to go about 4.30pm so I could get some sunset shots.
TotR has three different viewing levels, and we were working our way up to the top, getting shots along the way. On the middle floor, Daz left me alone for 10 minutes to get some pictures... what he would tell me later, was that was time spent getting the ring out of his bag, and hiding in his pocket without me seeing :)
Up to the top floor, and the views were amazing, and all open view too. No fences, or glass walls. The sun was just dipping behind the buildings, and Daz asked me to stand against the wall, facing the Empire State Building so he could get a photo of me looking out, (I got a similar one of him with the Statue of Liberty). From then on, I can only remember snippets of information...
As I was still looking away, I heard him say, "Dee, Ive got a present for you", and I turned around to find him on one knee, with a black box in his hand. I can remember looking everywhere but his face, and I distinctly remember someone whispering, "Oh my god! Look look over there! Hes proposing!". He asked me to take off my glove, which he took from me, and took my hand. I still hadnt looked at him at this point, I was still dumbfounded, looking at people looking at us :D
I still cant remember hearing what he said to me, it wasnt sinking in at all, until he opened the box, and I just about caught him saying, "Will you marry me?" I couldnt physically speak, until a woman in the crowd shouted, "Did you say yes?" I then said back, "I havent answered him yet!" :D I ended up saying yes to said woman instead of to Daz :D But he knew it was meant for him, he put the ring on my finger, we hugged, and everyone around us cheered and clapped :)
We had some photos taken by a security guy, (I think?) and the woman I said yes to came up to us later and said she had caught a photo of us in the act, and could she email it to us! Looking at that photo, I look scared to death ;D Will post it soon. On the way out, we had random people coming up to us saying congratulations, was very surreal.
Here is the honking great piece of rock :D

I also remember saying days before, I never wanted diamonds, cubic zirconia will do me nicely, I think we had walked past a jewellers at the time, and wanted to put his mind at rest ;) How the hell was I supposed to know he had already spent months researching diamonds? :cool:
Well there you have it, the best proposal story I ever could have wished for.

Mrs Danielle Worrall \o/
And while I am here, STFU about his beard ;D I love it, and its staying :D

Awww Congrats to you both :D
That sounds like an awesome way to get engaged, what a way to remember your holiday :D I love the ring, it is the sort of ring I would want, simple, silver/white gold and gorgeous!
Can't believe there is so much big news recently, two wedding proposal's and a baby! I wonder who is next :p

Beards RAWK.

I know, it's ace! We've had a family wedding proposal too so that's three weddings I need to find a hat for :D I'm a bridesmaid for one of them though :D
Lovely story Dee, you look shocked on that photo. I'm so pleased for the both of you.
A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS! - Growing a beard is a huge commitment and takes not only effort and dedication, but a truly heart-driven level of love for a furry face.
Your proposal story is lovely and from the short time I met you both, I think you're a cracking couple :cool:
Enjoy the preparations and your lives together :D
Nah a beard takes less than a week to grow! :D

Hey Congrats to you both :D

You're French though and so born entirely covered in hair. Only after a painful and tedious week of selective plucking and electrolysis are your brethren containable to pass off as human crotch-fruit.
[I have a child-like face where hair is slow-growing and bumfluffy. Suits me though - less shaving!]
Awwwww, Congrats !!!! That is so romantic ! :D

The ring you donut!! :p
What a lovely way to do it. Well done Daz!! Looks like a beautiful ring too :)
I like the beard btw :D
...two wedding proposal's and a baby!
Oooh, we could make a film :D
I like the beard btw :D
I knew you would be on my side! I couldnt understand why you were so upset when Leon shaved his off on NYE that time, well Ill feel the same way if Daz does it :D

Cheers man. I'm filling up with emotion just talking about it :')
Daz looks hot with the beard on one of the FB pics. Makes him look all manly and rugged and...well, less metro :p
Love that pic of The Moment (TM).
The ring you donut!! :p
I know. ;)
None whatsoever. This is fricking hard work :D
Here's a tip for you:
Wedding planning expands to fill whatever available time you have. I didn't believe it was true until I'd been through the process myself and compared it to what a few friends have done. I've had friends that took a couple of years to plan their wedding and still barely got it done in time. Then contrast to Kari and myself planning ours in around 5 months. Some other friends here are doing the same (though taking advantage of the fact that Kari and I were so lucky to find such awesome caterers, photographer, flower arrangers etc.)
You really can plan a wedding in a couple of months (less than that if you don't want anything fancy.) Most important thing is to just accept that it's going to be stressful regardless of how long you give it, and just get it done ;D
Congratulations both!
Guess I'll keep my subscription to Grizzly Weekly....
Congratulations! :D
You've got her now, never shave again. ;D
WOooooooooooooWEE!
OMG!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!!! That place is mega special - so amazing! So so chuffed for you two :D Absolutely chuffed to nuts! You guys are proper top notch - look forward to hear more about NY but also more about wedding plans :D
Mega exciting! big MWAH from me xxx

Awesome news guys, so happy for you both. I was wondering whether this was coming soon. Pro wedding tip - book it for during a half term, that way we can definitely be there if invited ;) :p
Love the beard too Daz, but then I'm sure you knew I'd say that :D
Have you set a date? Got anything in mind?

He seemed to manage just fine, the bits I was picking up anyway ;D
He even managed to remember what he said to recite back to me later once I had calmed down :D
