He proposed…

To be honest in the beginning I thought it was an elaborate joke, it wasn’t until he started trying to pull the ring out of his jacket that I realised I was very wrong.

Let us start back at the beginning.
It was our 9 month anniversary, we were looking for a place to move in together and up until this point we had not had the luck we are renowned for. Darryn suggested going to Uchi Lounge for dinner, I believe his reasoning was to make us feel better for no luck with the house hunting, as well as celebrating our 9 months together.
It was a lovely dinner, a set menu that we have had before but never failed to be outstanding. This time however, roughly halfway through the courses the food stopped coming. I didn’t really notice too much as the last plate we had had was the Kingfish Sashimi w Shallot Umeboshi & Tamari Dressing (my favourite dish of anything ever) and the taste was lingering in my mouth, the longer they held off the next course, the longer I could hold on to it.
We were holding hands across the table and Darryn was saying wonderful things, all of which are a bit of a blur now. Then he got off of his chair and down on one knee. Using my full name, he asked me to marry him. As I said earlier, I thought he might be joking, to the point where I asked him if he was kidding. Chalk it up to total shock and surprise! He began to pull out the ring and that is when I knew it was real, at which point I said “yes”. I then proceeded to cry and shake as I put the ring on.
The tables either side of us clapped and congratulated us, one even bought us some champagne which I managed to accidentally tip over our next course of Kinoko Lover – Chargrilled King Mushrooms w Garlic Chilli Sautéed Japanese Mushrooms, which I maintain made the wonderful dish even nicer.
We messaged our families, Facebooked and Instagrammed the occasion and finished our meal, all the while crying, shaking and constantly looking down and my hand.

We left the restaurant, caught a taxi to Newtown, stopping in at Gelato Blue and proceeded to Midnight Special, as this was the place we became officially together. Finishing off the evening with a glass of red. Darryn may tell you different but I believe that by this point of had stopped crying and was just floating.

Pretty incredible evening.

Everyone seemed excited for us.

Perhaps a little too excited. You know who you are!
