July 7th 2024.
Gareth Williams, a 60-year-old man, had been planning the perfect proposal for his partner of one year, Louise Walkington. They were on holiday in Corfu, Greece, a place that held special meaning for the couple as it was where they first met. Gareth knew that proposing here would make the moment even more romantic.
As they strolled along the picturesque streets of Corfu, Gareth mustered up the courage to pop the question to Louise. And just like he had hoped, she said yes! They were both overjoyed and couldn't wait to share the news with their friends and family.
But, their happiness was short-lived as only a few hours after the proposal, Gareth's heart suddenly stopped. Louise, who was still in shock from the proposal, was now faced with the terrifying thought of losing the love of her life.
Fortunately, Gareth was quickly treated and regained consciousness. He later found out that he had a blockage in his heart and had to be airlifted back home for further treatment. Louise was by his side throughout the entire ordeal, watching as her fiancé was airlifted back to Britain.
It was a scary and uncertain time for both of them, but they were grateful for the insurance they had that helped cover the medical expenses in Greece. Louise couldn't stress enough the importance of getting insurance while traveling abroad.
As Gareth recovered in the hospital, he couldn't help but think about the proposal that almost took a tragic turn. He joked that he had proposed just in time, as he was not getting any younger and wouldn't have been able to get down on one knee after the accident.
But, even with all the chaos and unexpected turn of events, Gareth and Louise were determined to make their dream wedding in Corfu a reality. They have set a date for 2026 and plan to exchange their vows on the beautiful beaches of Corfu, where it all began.
Looking back, Gareth and Louise can't help but laugh at the irony of the situation. Their romantic proposal may not have gone as planned, but it was a moment they will never forget. As Gareth puts it, "I could've easily died that day, but I'm glad I popped the question before this happened." And Louise couldn't agree more.
