The Proposal
Simon proposed to Ashley in Barcelona, Spain on 5th September 2015.
We wandered around Park Güell that day, and it kept raining.
At one point, we sat together on a bench and Ashley commented that she thought she might be getting proposed to. This rather ruined the surprise, so Simon denied all knowledge of anything to do with a proposal and tried not to play with the ring in his pocket too much.
A rather disappointed-sounding Ashley and a nervous Simon then visited La Sagrada Família, which is beautfiul.
A Catholic cathedral didn't feel like a particularly appropriate place to propose either, so we then plodded back to the hotel, via the rather snazzy Barcelona Metro.
When we got back to the hotel, Simon explained that he was fed up with being bugged about getting married, especially after the incident in Park Güell. He could only see one good solution to this, so got down on one knee and produced a ring:
Ashley said many things as she was excited but forgot to actually say yes. Eventually, Simon asked for the answer, and, well, here we are.
