Love C&G!

Dear Friends,

This weekend was a very, very special one for Céline and I (hereafter referred to as "we!!") On Easter Sunday (exactly one year from our ‘first date!’) we climbed up to the top of La Dune du Pyla (the highest dune in Europe) where I asked Céline to marry me…

….and she said yes!   As importantly, her Dad had said yes earlier that morning following my 7am vigil awaiting his awakening, and my pouncing! 

Most of you reading this BLOG will know Céline already, but for those who don’t… well YOU just wait!!  It’s after much prayer and thought that I made the decision to ask Céline, but it was after only a few moments of knowing her that I knew she was the one!   So many of you have encouraged me in the same vein and all in, it was more a case of waiting for the right time than anything else.  It’s all very exciting.

We’ve been enjoying a very festive weekend here in the South-West of France near Bordeaux.  The Dune is part of a town called Arcachon where Céline’s family summer home is.  It’s a very lovely (and romantic!) place to celebrate.  The sun has been beating down here making way for short sleeves, suntans, boat trips and bike rides.  Many of Céline’s family and friends are here for the Easter holiday and between that and our phones and emails and texts to family and friends around the world… well, we’ve just been soaking it all up and thanking God for every moment.  

It’s now over to all the great parts of our engagement time where we’ll dream of 7 kids and a guitar like Captain von Trapp (kidding!) and of practical things as well.   We don’t want to overtake that time with ‘wedding planning’ but invariably the ideas have already started coming.   We’ll keep everyone posted.

For now it’s back to more celebration with Céline’s family here in Bordeaux, then back to London this aft and seeing and speaking to all of you!  

With much love,
Graham (& Céline!)
