Malc asked me to marry him on Christmas Day 2009. We were in a car park and he didn't get down on one knee, what he did do included chocolate peanuts, heartfelt words and a ring that he had spent hours deliberating over by himself (that fitted perfectly). And the car park was the place we first met, nearly 7 years previously.

After that we went carol singing with our families, made casual announcements with champagne, put it on Facebook (to make it real of course) and had 2 engagement parties, with more champagne.
