Rules of Engagement


On the morning of Saturday 28th October, 2006, my girlfriend and I paid a visit to Stowe Landscape Gardens, near Buckingham. After wandering around the gardens and enjoying the scenery and each others company, we stopped for a rest in the West Lake Pavillion.  After some time spent taking more pictures, talking and watching the world go by, I proposed, and she said “yes”.Saturday afternoon was mostly spent informing family, and the evening was spent entertaining our mutual friends who had introduced us (just ten weeks earlier).  Due to a lack of time on Saturday, we called into the shopping centre on Sunday after Church and ordered the ring together.

  2. Hi Rich,Wow quick work, congratulations that is great news. I hope all is going well with your course.Dawn

  3. Not so much a 'dark horse', as a 'brave, young stallion'!Congratulations Ricky, to you, and your fiance, Tracy – soon to be Mrs Rew!Hope we will have the opportunity to meet Tracy at some point, and find out more about her.My advice, from an 'older' (more mature?!) married man:Lord Byron said: "Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence." Or, in more modern lingo, "Love to a man is a thing apart; to a woman it is evrything."Don't forget about the 'everything' now, and in 20+ years time!Best wishes to you bothTC – Bridgebuilding in the Kingdom
