Ask with Bob...

In honour of Valentine's Day we wanted to share with you a lovely story we heard from one of our customers.  We talked to Paul Smith who proposed to his girlfriend with his Bob Book.

What inspired you to propose with a photo book?
Everyone wants a "special" way of proposing and due to having a new baby I couldn't simply whisk her away for a weekend in Paris or New York. I started thinking about alternative options and stumbled across the idea of creating a photo book. I loved the idea and it seemed like a great way of showing how I felt.
 

Can you tell us a bit more about your book?
My book is called "So far…" and charts the story of our relationship through photos. It shows pictures of us through our time together and special images of the places that we've been. It leads up to the birth of our daughter and shows pictures of the day she was born. It then says "So, what's next?" followed by "Will you marry me?" on the last page.

So, how did you go about proposing?
I took her down to a nice hotel in the New Forest and got the hotel staff to set up their best room with a dozen red roses, a bottle of champagne and they even dressed it with their wedding decorations. As we walked in I gave her the book and as she reached the last page I got down on one knee.

And, of course, we all want to know – did she say yes?
After she'd stopped crying, she did!
She loves showing the book to her friends and family and is now very paranoid that she'll lose it. I may have to get a few more printed just in case…!

Congratulations, Paul!  We so pleased that we could play a part in your special day and can't wait to see the wedding book ;-)
