Engagement

Is this really happening?

My partner, Chris, and I met five years ago when we worked together at Dreamworld Theme Park, and we have been dating for four years.

Chris and his mates had always joked that I would be sixty before he considers asking me to marry him, as he was so afraid of committment.

It was a long running joke that he was never going to committ fully to me, despite moving across the state with me, having bought a house and owning a dog together.

Our work colleagues and acquaintaces have always been on our backs about getting married. Every time we would go out for dinner, or on a holiday, we would always get the phrase 'this might be it'. Because it was happening so often, I figured it was getting further and further pushed out of his mind.
