Before I knew it we had stopped off at Powerscourt gardens in County Wicklow. It was beautiful and the sun was shining as we strolled through the estate. We sat down on a summer seat overlooking a japenese garden when he suddenly got down on 1 knee with the ring and popped the question. It was gorgeous and I was overwhelmed. We then stayed over in the Powerscourt hotel, it was amazing.”
