Flew to Turkey on Tuesday 21st and we planned a scuba diving trip for Thursday 23rd. We planned the trip with one of the company's Craig has friends with when he was a holiday rep in 2010.
The plan was to have 2 dives because we were novices. 1st to a depth of 3m and second up to 12m. We got into the sea fully geared and preparing for the first dive. It was super edgy and I wasn't sure if I liked it. We went under and we're surrounded by fish of all colours shapes and sizes. They swam with us around us and we fed them bread that we had taken down with us.
One of the guides started taking photos of us all ( 2 of us and 3 young lads) & the guide starting poinoting to my right where Craig was. (I'm an idiot and thought yay turtle) and it was Craig on one knee under the water. He was holding the white heart plaque (as u see above) & a shell with a ring in. As I'm reading this plaque I want to scream and I find I can't. I stopped breathing for a sec trying to figure out how to say yes!!! All I could do was do the ok sign and blow much bubbles!!!!
We finished the first dive and when we resurfaced everyone on the boat shouted "well did she say yes?!!!!" I couldn't believe it. They all knew. Apparently it's been planned since February. Craig gave me the real ring on the boat to cheers from or fellow group.
Craig asked my brother (my father's dead) in March for permission and told my mother the day before we were to depart and his workmates and family knew.
I knew nothing - I should change my name to jon snow instead of Mrs Meridyth Batchelor.
I will upload more photos when I'm home Wednesday!
The wedding will be in 2020-2021 because we're buying a house first.
