Gonna propose to her a week on Saturday.
I've got the day all planned out as well.
Go see Black Panther, Dinner, Bill Bailey gig, nice walk after gig and then an overnight in a lovely hotel.
Planning on doing the actual proposal on the "nice walk" segment, but I'm working on an alternative if the weather is gooseberry fool.
I'm simultaneously thrilled and shitting it.
Wait. You booked a pricey hotel? Can you get a refund if she says no?
Probably not. It wasn't that pricey to be honest (
£120 for the night, with breakfast), but I wouldn't be this far along if I had any expectation of her saying no.
So I'll see you all in a couple of weeks talking about how badly it's all gone.
Oh so not that pricey. No biggie if she says no then.
Cheers Hexx (And Preezy). Looking forward to it. It's taking everything I have to not ask her right now though.
Want it to be special.
Should have booked better than a Premier Inn then...
Nah, it's the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow. Pretty nice, businessy type hotel. Been there a few times over the years for various things and it's nice. You get a lot of celebrities staying there, partially because it's right next to the three big gig venues (SECC, Armadillo and the Hydro). Last time I was in I saw the Osmonds. Pretty sure my mum saw Arnie in there years ago as well. Big tall building, looking out over the Clyde, right across from the BBC and STV. So I know what I'm in for there.
