This story starts with the ring. Luke goes on a daring trip to procure the ring without Pat knowing. And I am talking risk taking behaviour here.
Pat goes to work one day and Luke secretly takes the day off. To catch A FLIGHT to Queensland, get the ring and then fly back in the same day without her noticing.
BOLD. I’m assuming he didn’t fly Jetstar.
Just 2 days later, they are flying to Bali, They arrive at the aeroporto, he’s got the sparkly boy in his carry on luggage and begins to panic through the security screening. He gives the security guard a subtle wink. He winks back. He mostly thought Luke was cute, that’s why.
Carry on. Our Luke had been so chill this whole process and this is when he has panic moment. Whilst waiting for their flight in the Qantas lounge, Luke is over there buying ring insurance for them to go away with.
We all get there, in one piece. We get some Bali belly and then our lovebirds go off to Nusa Penida for a little trip. Nothing like a bit of Bali belly to set the stage for a romantic proposal.
They go for an epic hike up the mountain overlooking Diamond Beach. When they get to the top, Luke knows it’s now or never. You can do this buddy, he’s mentally psyching himself up.
They get to the top of this glorious mountain. He’s gone a little quiet, he’s acting weird, a bit sweaty.
And that’s when Luke finally get’s down to business. He get’s down on one knee…
And Pat comes out with a quick “no, don’t”
Time stands still, don’t panic Luke. She has an acute fear of PDA, so we’re all good here.
Luke said some lovely things. He cried, Pat cried, I cried the other day just thinking about it. Luke says how much he loves her and asks whether she would like to continue spending the rest of their lives together.
This is when Pat is sure that she blacked out. As she didn’t answer.
Luke is just there, down on one knee, like, “hey can you say something”.
And of course, it was a hell yeah!!!
And then they got hitched at the glorious by yours truly.
