So I guess I should start from the beginning for this Wedding Wednesday series and tell you about our engagement story going back to 2012. We kind of did things in a back to front way in that we booked the venue, photographer, even the florist without being properly engaged. We had been together for about four years when we started discussing when to get married. I was always adamant that I wanted to finish my degree before I started thinking about weddings but then I discovered Pinterest and all the incredible wedding boards and blogs. Soon I was obsessed with thinking about getting married and planning my own real life wedding and one afternoon, back when we were living in London Ben and I took a walk to Tiffany's on Bond Street. Before I knew it I had a ring on my finger and was talking the four c's (cut, colour, clarity and carat). After watching countless rom coms I had always thought the little blue box with an engagement ring in would be what I wanted but standing in the store I changed my mind and we wandered to Liberty's jewellery store remembering that my dad had bought my mum's ring from there. We found Kojis in their jewellery hall and I fell in love with a beautiful diamond ring that had four hearts (I'm obsessed with hearts) in the setting. I think Ben could tell that I'd fallen for it and we walked away saying we'd think about it, with me secretly desperately hoping he'd go back for it. We started planning the wedding anyway and I knew that the proposal would come in time. I even brought my dress before we were engaged although I think some shops looked at me like I was a fraud when they realised I didn't have a ring on my finger!
