Another wonderful proposal story that will melt your heart <3
Cormac & Luis
Cormac & Luis met in London but recently settled down in Ireland.
I got a great relocation package with my company and moved back to Ireland at the start of this year. Luis and I have been together for 3 years and I have wanted to propose to him ever since moving back home. Hailing from Galway, I naturally wanted to propose there as Luis is a lover of the great outdoors. On the plus side, I knew that Luis wouldn’t suspect anything on a trip to Galway so he was completely taken by surprise. We have a dog that we both adore and I managed to find a way of sneaking our beloved terrier ‘Bingo’ into the proposal. I wanted the setting to be a bit wow too, so I decided that the rugged landscape of the Aran islands would be fitting. There is a beautiful wild beach there called Inis Oirr and this seemed like the perfect location for an evening stroll. A few weeks previously I had bought a new collar for Bingo and I decided to attach the ring to it. I simply asked him to put the new collar on and when he noticed the ring he just exclaimed yes! It was such a happy moment that we will remember forever.
Luis: ‘It was a magical moment! I actually had thought about proposing to Cormac in a similar fashion so you could say that he pipped me to the post. Bringing Bingo into it really was super special and a moment that we will both never forget. I couldn’t have asked for a more special moment’.
