Engagement

We got engaged on the 5th of July 2010 in France. Here is a picture of the ring: "The 0.7 carat aquamarine is set designer ring with intertwined lines, it has four prongs (with a diamond shape) each set with a round brillian cut diamond" (from the London Victorian Ring company)
Here is where the proposal took place... in the middle of fields and forest, next to a little stream with a stone bridge to cross it, there was a horse in a field next to it, a little red squirrel came very close to us.

That was me coming back just before Tom proposed to me because we took a bottle of white wine but forgot the corkscrew, so I had to go and get it while the bottle setting in between rocks in the stream which cooled it down better than a fridge would.
This is a photo take by Tom while waiting for my return.
We went to the restaurant with my family on a different day after which is a chinese restaurant with a glass floor where you can see fishes swimming underneath your feet. On the left is me, then Tom, then my grandfather (Marcel BURLIGA), my grandmother (Colette BURLIGA), my sister (Harmonie LAURENT) and my sister's boyfriend (Romain DESCARGUES).
To celebrate (again), my grandfather opened a bottle of Champagne Bonaparte! (which meant a lot to him, everyone who knows him would know about his cult of Napoleon BONAPARTE).
