Today we are sharing Emma & Mikey’s very cool engagement shoot by Carly Turner Photography
Our Proposal story
We have been together for nearly 5 years & lived together for nearly 3. Having known each other since our early years in high school (12+years), we used to hang out with the same crowd of friends, both have a massive passion for the alternative scene from heavy music to conventions, massive collectors & would be classed as heavily tattooed.
Mikey is the shop manager & body piercer at Nu Rose Tattoos and I work for Sainsbury’s as a customer assistant & baker. On the side we also own a small Etsy store called Pinderella Plugs & Accessories so we have very busy lives.
We always see the fun side of life and love to do things as a family. Mikey & I discussed getting engaged back in September 2013 , the final moment was when I arrived home after a friends wedding at 3am Sunday 22nd September. I was shocked to see Mikey had waited up for me all night, as I climbed into bed he asked me this question…
“Would you like to go into town tomorrow and buy an engagement ring? ”
I wasn’t expecting it & started crying with joy. It was so sweet of him; he had obviously been planning on asking me for a little while as he had already saved up all the money to buy the ring. So the next day we went into town to find my beautiful ring. It didn’t take us long to find, I was pretty open on the design, with the perfect amount of sparkle my eyes lit up, I just knew it was the one .
Mikey gave me a cwtch & a kiss as he handed the engagement ring to me.
It was one of the happiest moments of my life.We then rushed home to let our families know the big news, then shared a photo on Facebook of the ring. Which in turn had hundreds of good wishes from all our friends & families, it was fantastic to see how much support we had as a newly engaged couple!
