Roma - beautiful, romantic Roma


We recently went to Rome for one of my best friend's wedding - it began at 4.30, then after the ceremony and a few drinks we headed to the beach for sunset photos.. how romantic!

I have never, ever eaten so much in my entire life as we ate at the wedding, let alone in Rome itself... the Italians sure love their food, and why not when it tastes sooooo good!

We spent the rest of our time there running round, trying to see as much as possible, which was
a LOT!! You can tell just how hot it was by hot tired I look in most of the photos...

We saw the Vatican...

the baths at Caracalla...


the Colosseum...


the palatine and house of Augustus...


the Roman forums...

and so much more. We even saw lots of TIM...


TIM was everywhere...


But I liked my Tim the best... especially when he proposed...

of course I said YES!!

Now I just have to save up some money and decide what kind of wedding I actually want (now that it is real and not a dream it's quite hard to decide... I hope it will be as beautiful as my friend's wedding!!)

We can't have it on a beach...

But it will be romantic... how could it not after such a romantic engagement?

NB: more photos and tales will follow, I promise, when I manage to get them uploaded

huge massive CONGRATULATIONS my sweetie!!

I am SO happy for you!! So incredibly romantic as well... makes my heart all fuzzy and warm!

Great job Tim, sounds like you've done a fine job a-wooing!! You do realize though that you're going to have to take Amanda back to Rome for at least 2 romantic breaks now to commemorate this ;)

Hahaha thanks honey... we most likely won't be getting married for another year or two so we can save up (so start saving for a trip to England for it!!) so he has plenty of time to take me back (I'm also thinking Italy may be a nice honeymoon location as it is now our romantic capital of the world!!)

How very romantic indeed... I told him I wanted it to b romantic and you can't get much better than Rome for a friend's wedding for a proposal, can you?!

It's all just a little surreal still...
