how it happened
on friday, my partner and I got stuck in melbourne's infamous peak hour traffic heading to the airport. It was bad because I was busting to go to the toilet. really really needing to go BADLY.
when we finally arrived, half way walking towards the security checkpoint, the other half decided that he may or may not have locked the car door and had to run all the way back to check, whilst I had to stand around (busting to go to the toilet) minding our bags. I almost made a mess in the middle of the Qantas checkout terminal.
I wanted to check-in on facebook (because im such a nerd) to the melbourne airport but the other half was really persistent that i didn't. it turned out we had business class tickets which gave us access to the qantas business lounge. It's where the awesome go to and get fed, and access to unlimited amount of alcohol!
As per usual, 30 minutes prior to boarding, I took 2 tablets to guarantee that I wouldn't be throwing up Friday's lunch on my lap which meant that I was going to be asleep by the time I plonked my butt on the seat. Which made me question the business class seats because i found them pointless on someone like me who spends 99% of the flight asleep.
The other half didn't want me to sleep because he wanted me to "enjoy" business class....
and as we were in the air, the seatbelt lights turned off. He got out of his seat and said
"Babe- you know how much i love you...."
me:" Umm Yes"
"would you marry me?"
me:" are you joking?"
Seriously.. i blame the drugs... LOL
and yes.. i did say yes.
and so now we're officially engaged.
oh... 2 cool things- not only did the air stewardess made the announcement but so did the pilot.
and apparently we might be in next month's Qantas magazine. How awful!
