Respect to men who propose!&#8221; Lauren, 29, says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had this amazing plan that I would hide the ring in Rob\u2019s advent calendar on December 5, our two year anniversary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But even the best laid plans can have complications.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the 1st\u00a0of December Rob decided that he was going to become a vegan! He decided that he wasn\u2019t eating chocolate and would take the advent calendar into work to share with his colleagues, unknown to him door number five hid a sparkly engagement <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingJewellery\/\">ring<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After endless attempts of trying to get him to open it, no such luck.

When I got home, he got down on two knees, yes two, and proposed!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before the month was up the Cornwall pair had settled on\u00a0Nancarrow Farm, Zelah, for their rustic wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren and Rob, 32, walked down the aisle on April 11, 2015 watched on by 80 friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The day itself, without trying to sound like a clich\u00e9, was the
