Today was the announcement party of our engagement. We want to be married as soon as possible; I don't want to go into labour in the middle of the ceremony. I wore a ruby strapless short dress with black embroidery on and matching shoes. I had my hair done in loose angel curls. I put on a bit of light matching makeup. Before we went to the party, which was in the garden, Robert gave me a magnificent engagement ring. I wasn't big, a bluish diamond in the shape of a lotus blossom on a ring of white gold. He said 'to you, the only one for me', I love him so much!
The garden was amazing, the bushes had white fairy lights in them, the tables were simple but elegant and there was lanterns lighting up the dark sky.
We had dinner, which Oliver kindly had made for us by some of the best chefs in France. When everyone was drinking his or her coffee and chatting, Robert suggested we make our announcement. When we had everyone's attention, which I got by making a funny noise (some people are rude when they don't pay attention) Robert made his speech, I was way too nervous. 'Everyone, I've asked all our friends and family here tonight to make a very important announcement.' At this point I stood next to Robert for support, his parents looked strange, 'I' at this point Tyson snored very, loudly and said 'what's for breakfast?' I could have killed him! Max woke him up, thank god. Robert continued 'we wish to tell you all that this amazing woman has agreed to become my wife' a disturbing silence followed. Luckily Ray, Enrique and Oliver applauded and everyone followed. I didn't dare look at Johnny. Everyone congratulated us and so on. Eventually when everyone had left we both managed to take out parents aside and talk to them in the library.
Robert's mother was completely against the idea 'Robert, I can't believe you! She is a nice enough girl but really darling have some taste' Robert's father was trying to apologise to my parents; he does want Robert to marry me. After we calmed them down, which took a while, we found out whom like and disliked the idea. Robert's other and my dad hates the idea and Robert's father and mother like the idea. Eventually I had enough and, 'Look I respect your views but the point is this, Robert and me are about to take the most important journey of our lives, the least you could be is to accept it'. At that point Robert's mother leapt up and started to yell at Robert. His father tried to calm her down but it was no use, she really doesn't want Robert to marry me.
When we told them we think I could be pregnant, it was the only thing they all disagreed on. Before they left my mum said I should go to the doctors a check to see if I am really pregnant. So I'll have a fun day at the hospital tomorrow! It can't get any worse.
