When you are wearing a maroon gown that shows your shoulders off and reaches all the way to the floor. Skimming down past your waistline, the silky material gathering around your hips it's impossible to not feel sexy and beautiful. I've treated my hair to a keratin mask and it's silky and glowing reaching down past my waist. I've left it in waves, not bolt straight but not curly either. I'm happy with it.

I have taken time on my makeup, I wanted to enhance my tan with bronzer and not cover it all up. I've used some highlighter, given myself a Smokey eye, put on eyelashes and I'm wearing a gorgeous lipstick that matches my dress.

"Taylor" Jay says normally and then I hear his breath hitch.
I turn to face him and he looks shocked. Absolutely shocked. I've hit this look dead on.

"When we were dating at the beginning" he begins after a pause eyes assessing my dress.
"Before you met my mum. I wanted to take you here and I imagined you in a red dress in the Sydney opera house. Because you are that kind of girl, classy and beautiful" he says walking toward me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmDlx4P25KT
"You however, exceed any image I can imagine up. You look sensational." He says in my ear, planting kisses down my neck.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAzutAYdpHK1
"You look hot too Jay" I say my hands on his chest looking down at his suit.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAT2EDue8BJ9
"I love this on you" I tell him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1LSJpz5EDF
"Lord Taylor, don't. I will take you right here right now and it would literally be a crime to mess up this dress" he says his hands touching my waist and hips.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAp5VLcCwFLY
"Here" he says passing me a glass of champagne. I keep his eye contact not wanting to let him go what so ever.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAwQa8XDeLAt
"You are stunning" he says looking into my eyes.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAfh0h1Viekm
"I've never seen a ballet performance" he says and I kiss him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhEXj7S1exF
"Well it's pretty and there are dresses and costumes" I say smiling.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA7YuJhs8fIN
"I'm glad we're doing this" he says to me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA2qSJmzZgvz
"Me too thank you this is like a bucket list thing for me to do" I tell him
86Please respect copyright.PENANAWzDyoREMWI
He gets out his phone to check on the cab. Then opens up his camera.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAZRUrxIvdyC
"We can get someone to take our picture there but first" he says taking a selfie of us both.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA3T3fzq9UJX
"Hey can you take a picture of our hands, and our tattoos" I ask him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0nGRPWqNlU
He smiles and aims the camera at our fingers intertwined showing off our initials. I smile.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAnMcnWxxPdc
"I love it" I tell him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAw6h20OHdKF
His phone pings and the cab is now here. We walk down together and he holds my hand walking just in front of me. I love this gesture, he holds me all of the time.
86Please respect copyright.PENANABStt87Fvd4
On the way to the opera house he keeps my hand in his and I can feel his fingers rubbing me and tracing circles on my skin. I smile over at him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAlawZY3JQxS
"I'm happy that this moment in my life is being shared with you" I tell him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA29pgZoHBT1
"Me too" he says and kisses my lips. He lingers and smiles down at me.
“I love you” he whispers.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAkTGWUdUN7s
Soon we arrive and the Sydney opera house does not disappoint. Surrounded by water which currently is reflecting the sunset. Jay takes my hand and we walk up the grand steps for the show, I could become accustomed to being out with Jay at sunset.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAP46szk67dw
“Wanna get a picture?” Jay says looking down at me smiling.
86Please respect copyright.PENANADjTXrxxJ9I
“Would be silly to not get a picture of you in that dress with the water in the backdrop” he says
86Please respect copyright.PENANAZCvRRVqCJs
“Okay” I smile, I usually hate my picture being taken. It makes me feel self conscious. Like people are watching me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANATToaoe6cZi
Jay positions his phone to take a picture and I blush at the way he is looking at me.
“Perfect” he says taking a few snaps.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmTUNVlmKMo
He then comes to join me and we take a few selfies which I’m far more accustomed too. I flick through them all.
“Wow ever thought of photography?” I ask him. The pictures are fantastic. Pictures that show the setting well and capture my dress.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgpoVg0UZ6K
“Well I had a good subject” he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAK4nveM56E2
We continue to walk up the steps hand in hand. He tells me about the time he went on a photography course and I laugh along with him. He starts talking about technical things to do with cameras and then laughs telling me not to worry and that he will stop boring me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXw60WyP4ZM
“Jay I’m so excited to find out everything about you” I say smiling.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAcpKQpX9zb2
“‘Me too my love” he says holding the door open for me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAcPOqFMhgLe
Walking around the foyer, Jay buys us a bottle of champagne and two glasses and we wait briefly to be shown to our seats.
“Excuse me, sorry would you mind” Jay says to a small older lady also waiting.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAbMZSa1Uq2X
“Of course” she says smiling.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAraYoN6wPJM
“What a beautiful dress” she’s adds smiling at me and taking his phone to take a picture of us.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAiHBwV9a8az
“Okay, so do I just press this button. Phones that are also cameras are new to me” she chuckles.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAwooDWmXplR
“Yes just that button there” Jay says smiling and I love this courteous side to him. So gentle and thoughtful. He joins me, his arm around my lower waist.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXcE6RijPSm
“Okay I’ll take a few” she smiles
86Please respect copyright.PENANA48cgHPHRRl
“Ready?” She asks and I’m beginning to think she is loving this. I hope she has lovely grandchildren that include her in their lives.
86Please respect copyright.PENANALEMCIiC1LK
“Yes” Jay smiles.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhwJj2xBknT
Once she has successfully taken them she hands the phone to Jay.
“You two are just the most wonderful couple” she says to us and he thanks her.
86Please respect copyright.PENANArY4tDJL2te
“Oh the pleasure was all mine” she smiles and heads into the auditorium.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAGSR0tdnRk9
We follow her in and Jay whispers in my ear.
“You look wonderful” he says.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAx8gAMctFM9
I smile and blush and he leads me to our own booth with a fantastic view of the stage. Completely clear views and we can even see the orchestra setting up below.
86Please respect copyright.PENANALQYWpcb61G
I flick through the pictures of us, smiling.
“I think we may have to get a few of those printed off to give to mum” he says watching me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAQwo06yw9Ph
“Perfect yes that’s a great idea. Also I’m going to post up on social media are you okay with that,” I ask him just because my ring is in clear view and I was planning on posting our tattoos too. I tell him and he cups my jaw in his hands softly kissing my lips.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA8yhEr5OhTq
“Of course I am. Tag me in it” he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAjdUjgMKbZX
Before the show begins I create a post on my social media with our pictures and caption it the Sydney opera house. I love how Jay looks in the photos, sophisticated and grown up. And my dress shows off my slender frame and cleavage. The ring is pretty clear even from afar, it is substantial after all. The picture with our tattoos is gorgeous and intimate and I just know Rhea will be messaging me later about the whole thing, most likely. I laugh and tag Jay into the post.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAnUEYbTSvMv
I quickly show him before I send it to my profile.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAjj53KqS7tN
“Nice. You are gonna get a lot of messages” he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAn4kNWOnzSP
“I know” I say eyeing him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAybK8WknFgS
“I’m ready Taylor.” He says as if he can read my mind. I had been worried he didn’t want to tell everybody and ruin his bad boy image.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOH1FFW13a9
“I love you” I tell him and post the pictures up.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOzrCNtVXFE
I then place my phone securely in my jewelled clutch, gaze at my ring and then the show is ready to start. He sits back with me in our private booth and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world but with him.
