By the time you're reading this, news of Alecia and my engagement has probably reached you. As such, I'm going to gloss over our day of activities, because frankly, my mind was a bit elsewhere today. So here it goes.
Blah blah blah Tower of London blah blah yeoman warders yadda yadda crown jewels and armor and ravens everything was lovely. Same with the National Gallery. The Black Friar is a really cool looking pub.
After all that, it was time for the main event. I had a 5 star hotel booked, and the ring would be delivered in a glass of champagne. Alecia figured out something was up, and suspected I would be proposing this trip, but she didn't suspect all this. There was champagne, yes, but also canapés, chocolate strawberries, and rose petals and candles in the room. For dinner, they got us a table at a Michelin starred Indian restaurant near Buckingham palace. Even the exchange rate can't make this cheap, but hey, you only do it once. Currently, I'm drinking champagne in a bath robe with my fiancée. Life is good right now.
Alecia here...
So yes I had Adam figured out a while ago, but I pretended not to. Adam was of course a nervous wreck today, especially before he proposed. He wouldn't even tell me which tube station we were getting off at...as if Victoria station would mean something to me? The hotel is beautiful, and we are being treated as we imagine the very wealthy always are. Luggage brought to our rooms, robes, slippers, and a giant bathtub. Oh and champagne. Those of you who know Adam well know that he hates champagne. This time he seemed to like it, but I blame it on relief and happiness.
And if you didn't understand from above, we went to the Tower of London today and visited one of London's art galleries. By the way I was very happy to learn that many of London's museums are free admission. We will be off to the British Museum tomorrow.
