Well, we met in 2000 for the first time. At that time we were just friends, for 5 years. Keeping in touch through my mom and occasionally we'd meet up in Switzerland at some hash event.
In 2005, I helped mom move to Germany. A got a call from Nick to meet him in Mannheim for a drink as friends. One thing led to the next, and we ended up the unexpected couple. Since then, I've moved up to Mannheim and we started a mellow and wonderful journey together!
A few weeks ago we decided to go to Munich for 4. July weekend, and to get out of town for a few days. We spent most of Saturday enjoying the yummy beer and food at the English Garden's Biergarten. It seemed strange to me that Nick wasn't eating much and was very quiet most of the time, I should have known. Sunday we spent the day at the Tollwood Festival at the Olympic Park. Sort of a "Hippie" thing; music, food and a great market! After meeting up with some friends we had a very romantic dinner at the hotel.
The next morning, we drove to the Andechs Kloster Brauerei (Old monastery/ brewery). I've always wanted to go there. Overlooking the Bavarian country side and a lovely view of the mountains, we had a nice fresh brew and some lunch.
Still, Nick was acting more and more strange...
We decide to go for a little walk before a long ride home. We enjoy the view at the view point.
I sat down while Nick took some pictures of the Alps.
The next thing I now he got very shaky and confessed his love for me. He pulled a little brown box out of his camera bag and kneeled down in front of me asking for my hand in marriage!
Of course I said YES!!!!
We fell into each others arms and stayed there for a long and very happy moment!
The drive home involved lots of phone calls and champagne......
The worst part, my Grandmother found out on Facebook!
Anyway, the planning has started and we have chosen a date, time and location.
More to come...
