Portelet Bay in Jersey

… next couple of years or so.

For those of you who aren’t members of the illustrious inner circle that is defined by my FaceBook friends list and haven’t already been advised by other means the following constitutes a Rob Dudley BIG announcement.

1 week ago, at 20:15 at Portlet Bay in Jersey, I finally managed to find the courage to man up and ask my girlfriend* of the past 3 years to marry me.

Oh and she said yes!

This officially makes me the happiest and luckiest guy in the world (really – there’s no contest on that front at the moment).

We have yet to set a formal date but we’re likely looking at approx 14 months from now. Since neither of us are loaded and neither of our families are in a position to help out by paying for the whole thing the next few months are going to be spent making sure we can get the day we want without bankrupting ourselves. Fortunately, both she and I are fairly down to Earth in terms of our requirements.

Watch this space for more information over the coming months and thanks to all those who’ve already been informed and offered their best wishes – we truly appreciate it.

* Of course the primary benefit of this whole engagement shebang is that I now have a definite name for the lucky lady. After 3 years girlfriend starts to sound a bit childish whilst “Partner” just sounds pretentious. Having a Fiancée  simplifies the whole taxonomy of our relationship in a very pleasing manner.
