We booked on the river of light cruise - all inclusive bar for the 75 min cruise around the canals looking at the light artwork.
M had about 5 x Heineken and about 3 mins before the trip ended, majorly needed to go to the loo, to the point as soon as the boat moored up he had to run to the loo, like fast. I was going to propose on the canal side after this tour...
So we went for something to eat in the casino restaurant, I was a bit crampy so it could not be done then.
After dinner we went back to the hotel. Got all snuggly so I was going to do it then with a nice cosy chat etc, but all of a sudden at the car park outside the hotel, loads of cars could not get in, loads could not get out and they were all fucking honking their horns for about 45 minsβ¦
At this point I was a bit upset as I had to do it on this day.
So I was there - with a face on - Martin asked what was up and I said things were not going to plan and he had to coax out of me what I meant⦠which resulted in me telling him and asking him the question while we were lying on the hotel bed.
