Excitingly my other half proposed to me whilst we were on holiday in Mauritius last November. (I’m sure we’ll make a post about Mauritius at some point – it was truly beautiful!) It wasn’t something I expected, I especially didn’t think he’d have the nerve to transport a ring all the way there without me suspecting anything, but low and behold he did!!

We told my grandparents and they were extremely elated, however they didn’t know what to buy us. We obviously didn’t want nor need a gift from anyone. We bought our house the year before and have no need for new toasters, kettles or similar household items. However, they wanted us to have something memorable, something we could keep forever and then we found this – FACED.

I actually found FACED on instagram a while ago and was dead set on getting a portrait of the three of us for the hallway waaaaaaay before an engagement was even thought of. I loved the idea that it wasn’t selfie or a professional photograph. It’s unique and our family/friends can quite clearly see the resemblance.

The whole process was easy. You simply e-mail through photos those you want to be FACED along with any other requirements such as a date, a love heart, colour shirt, etc. I would presume that most things are possible! You get a proof to review before the final is printed which I thought was a great idea as there were a few things we altered. It arrived quickly and we managed to get it before Christmas.

My grandparents love it. They love that we will always remember what they funded to remember our special engagement. It really is a beautiful gift and I would highly recommend it!!
