PROPOSAL: Alan Curtis surprised his partner Hazel Lee with a wedding proposal at her workplace, Heavens Above in Blenheim. Photo by Celeste Lodewyk.
By Celeste Lodewyk. Waiting outside his partner’s workplace on Monday, Alan Curtis nervously paced the footpath in anticipation of proposing to his partner Hazel Lee. Hazel who, is a massage therapist for Heavens Above, had no idea what awaited her upon arriving at work. Alan took a deep breath, walked inside and took Hazel’s hand before dropping to one knee. “I love you, will you marry me,” he asked a nervous Hazel. “Yes,” she replied with a big smile on her face. After being together for more than a year, Alan said he knew Hazel was the one for him. “We have actually known each other through family for many years and after meeting again at a wedding I thought she still had the same beautiful smile and great personality. “After we began seeing each other I got these funny feelings which made me realise that she was definitely the one,” Alan smiled. Despite the proposal being a surprise, Hazel said she had a “hunch” that Alan was up to something. “I thought it was unusual that he got out the door so fast this morning. He was even dressed in his good shirt so I knew something was brewing. “But it was a great surprise, the ring is gorgeous and despite feeling nervous I am really happy,” she said.
