Myself and Johannes from Johannes Photography, spent the morning reviewing all of the entries to this amazing competition and boy was there some pretty great stories in there!
It was so tough to pick a winner, but I think you’ll agree with the effort that she put into it…..Susan Burns is a deserving winner of this fantastic prize! Congrats to Susan and Ray and we’ll look forward with interest to see what incredible photos Johannes gets with this couple. Read her proposal story entry, which comprised of a full rhyming poem!
You said “What about it”
I said “What about what”
“Marriage and all that”
I didn’t look up in case you weren’t sincere
Because you are everything I hold dear
“Well” you said
I lifted my head
We looked at each other
Our smiles you couldn’t smother
I don’t think either of us actually ever did propose
Things just happened I suppose
It was just decided there and then
Now we’ve chose the place and when
Being a recession
We just had a session
The ring has to wait
More important that we get our date
Deposits are paid on music and venue
Were still deciding on the menu
I know a surprise you’ll spring
When I do get that ring
We’re both over forty
And oh so flirty
Wouldn’t it be such a laugh
To not have to pay for a photograph
Just a reminder for anyone who’s lonely
He or she is out there looking for you only
We’ve found love, we fit like a glove
So remember it’s never to late to meet your soul mate
Ray loads of hugs ‘n kisses
Can’t wait to be your missus
