Festival
lovers Kris and Kim packed up for the IOW festival in June this year along with
their friends Gemma, Grant, Su and Louis, little did Kim know what the crew had
in store for her…
This
gorgeous couple grew up living around the corner from each other and were
actually at the same high school, but not in the same year. Kim, by her own
self admission, calls herself a bit of a cougar! Check this chick out! They met
properly about six years ago at a hotel bar they both used to work at, Kim was
Kris’s boss…and still a cougar… Although their jobs meant they saw a fair bit of
each other, these guys took a whole two years waiting for the love fairy to
come and sprinkle her magic dust over them. Jeez that fairy tries the patience
of a saint!
They
have been together for four years now and Kris had decided that the love fairy
had sprinkled enough love dust to last for a lifetime, but wanted to plan
something really special for his
girl!
Obviously
having thanked the fairy, he started to conspire with his crew to plan a
proposal never to be forgotten!
For
months, Kris had been plotting behind Kim’s back with conspiracy crew (sorry
guys but conspiracy crew just feels sooo right!) to make this perfect. Kim
still doesn’t know quite how he pulled this off as she speaks with Gemma and Su
(both girls on the pics and video) on a daily basis and they see each other
every weekend. I can tell you now this is a tough job! One of our friends is
getting married and we are the event planners, but NOBODY else knows about this
yet! I have almost got to the position of having to bind my mouth with masking
tape up the pub on a Friday!
The
lies got sooo big that Kim later found out that she was there when her ring was
delivered, the girls used the excuse that it was the spare part to a car! These
guys are big car geeks, so she didn’t even bat an eyelid! Good work those
girls! Would the guys have been flapping around making big hand gestures and
going red in the face..?! Not judging…just sayin!
By
the time they packed themselves off to the festival EVERYONE knew to include
their families, no pressure there then Kris! Tension, in an exciting way, was
mounting…
After
last year’s mudfest at Leeds for Su’s 30th they decided to treat
themselves to caravan this year. Look at this pic as their own experience of
mudfest…Now I met my hubby looking like
this too, so of course I think this is just the hottest look!
They
started the weekend off with a hearty meal and few drinks at one of the locals
on the other side of the Island. Kim knew something wasn’t quite right but drew
the conclusion that she had upset everyone! “ Nobody would hold a conversation
with me and they would all of a sudden have something really important to do,
or dash off to the loo” The crew told her later that they were all so excited,
but petrified that booze and secrets just simply didn’t mix! I’m hearing you
guys on so many levels right now! Gemma, (who you will see was six months pregnant)
didn’t have this excuse, but as Kim explained to us, she just simply can’t lie,
so ended up avoiding Kim all night!
The
big day came and Gemma (oh responsible one, unable to lie) was assigned the
task of looking after the ring. Odds on favourite she wasn’t going to end up in
a mosh pit or at a ciderfest! The whole
crew held their breath whilst getting through security that the ring wasn’t
pulled out of the bag! Her Daughter Pippa Florence was born last August and
these guys love the fact that she has been to her first festival!
Kim
goes on to explain to us, in her own words I hasten to add…”The guys in the
video are Gemma's husband Grant (the tall bald one) and Su's boyfriend Louis
(the dark hairy one, who is also Kris's cousin) and they will definitely be
part of our wedding crew that Kris is going to have to choose from! He has a
lot of close mates and brothers who are all after the best man spot but I'm
leaving that one up to him to decide”
“Grant
is normally the super organised one (he's in the RAF) but it was Louis who was
flapping on the day as the girls apparently took too long to get me back after
we had nipped to the posh loos before Biffy Clyro came on” Come on girls you
were doing so well!!!
As
Kris whispered sweet nothings to Kim with his arms wrapped around her, the
conspiracy crew were hard at work getting their T-shirts on and positioning themselves
in the right order. This sounds easy, but after a few beers at a festival, I’m
sure was a task and a half! Kim could
have turned around at any moment! Just before Biffy came on to play his set
THIS HAPPENED!!!
This
gets an almighty awwwwww from us!
Have
you got your hankies ready?! We asked Kim how she felt about the whole festival
proposal experience? “ I think it's safe
to say I am amazed by the whole proposal, though the gang were all surprised I
didn't cry (I think I was in shock). I did finally burst into tears at the end
of the Sunday night after Kings of Leon finished, we all turned around to leave
and there was a massive fireworks display and they played 'All you need is love'
by the Beatles. Pretty much a perfect weekend!
Conspiracy crew, you all get a massive huge thumbs up from us here at TWFC, we not ONLY do
we love this, but had a bun fight to get the blog! I’m still on tea duty here
and it ended up in bribery, well these things happen! You all did a fantastic
job to make this perfect for these guys! Have you thought about hiring
yourselves out?!
Plans
for their big day in summer 2016 definitely involve live music to reflect their
love for each other, one of their local bands has already agreed to play. Kris
is working on asking Biffy Clyro but just needs to make sure he has enough room
to fit Biffy in his line-up!
Hen
and stag plans are for the boys to head off to Le Mans for the racing but based
on their history Kim tells us it could be anywhere from Vegas to Ibiza. The
girls are heading to Dublin as it ties in nicely with going to a few Irish
sessions for the music, without Kim having to convince anyone to go to a
festival!
Watch the video here...( get more hankies!!!!)
Kris
and Kim, we hope you have the most amazing day that you guys really deserve!
