Advantages: Best birthday present

Disadvantages: none

My husband proposed to me on my 21st birthday. We had been together for 3 years and knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We were renting a little 2 bed flat and the proposal took place there. When I left to go to work on the morning of my birthday there was a present in the car, when I opened the boot of my car to get my jacket out there was another present and this went on the whole day. When I got home there was dinner made (which hardly ever happened) and more presents. I was 21 that day and had had 20 little but meaningful presents by that point. We then sat down to watch Coronation Street as I used to be hooked on it. After it finished I found my husband on the floor on one knee and presented me with a ring box and said "Marry me!". He told me that he saved the best till last. I was gobsmacked and really didn't expect it. I said "Yes". The adreniline rush was just surreal and then we had to make all the phonecalls and send text messages. It was a brilliant 21st birthday and one I will never forget.

We didn't have an engagement party as such just went for a couple of drinks with close friends the following night. We had a years engagement before tying the knot in March 2004.
