The day had finally ticked over, it was finally July 23rd, it was the day of the Manchester United postseason party. I had not been feeling nearly excited as my boyfriend Luke Shaw did. In fact, I think we felt complete polar opposite emotions. Whilst he was excited to see all his teammates, their wives and kids, I was feeling highly anxious about this event. Not only did I not know anyone at the party, but also, all the wives were so beautiful and I was so uhh. Luke was doing his best to make me not nervous, by constantly hugging me and kissing me and telling me it was going to be okay. As much as I appreciated Luke's efforts, it did not help. Especially due to the voice inside my head constantly reminding me that I wasn't good enough to be with Luke and how I was nothing compared to those other footballers wives and their looks and personality.

This voice continued to vocalise all the things that could go wrong throughout my shower. Throughout my makeup routine. Throughout my hair routine. Throughout my outfit change and as Luke and I got in the car the voice only got louder

"You are nothing compared to these other women"

"Honestly, when you are in the room with all these other women Luke will finally realise how ugly you are and he will dump you"

"You are pathetic if you think anyone will actually like you, you are annoying, you are stupid"

Thoughts like these caused my breathing to fasten. The car stopped as we reached our destination, which snapped my thoughts silent for a second, before returning like a tidal wave. Luke gets out of the car and I try to follow suit, however, my body refuses to move, as I am frozen in fear about what might happen. My heart rate fastens so much I feel like it might implode out of my chest. I start hyperventilating. Tears start to form out of the corner of my eyes. Luke opens my door and I am able to snap my eyes to him. In an instant, his eyes turn light with concern about my current state.

"Awww gorgeous, what's up?" He said in a deep calm voice, instantly making me feel a tiny bit better.

"luke, I'm so scared you'll leave me, I love you so much and I don't know what I would do without you" I stutter while the tears finally release themselves from my eyes.

"Sophia, I'm never going to leave you, why would you even think that?" he asked with great concern.

"its just all the other footballers have beautiful wives and I'm nothing compared to them and as soon as we walk in there, you're going to realise it and break up with me". I am now bawling my eyes out. Luke caress my back as I do so.

"Soph, you are honestly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Every time I look at you I am reminded how lucky am to be with you as you are so amazing. Not only are 10 times more beautiful than anybody in that building, but you are also a much better person than any of them. I love you so incredibly much Sophia and I will never let you go." Luke stops caressing my back and reaches for something in his back pocket. "I was going to do this after the party but now feels like a perfect time, Sophia, will you make me the luckiest man on this planet and do me the honor of being my wife"

My heart suddenly skips a beat, instantly I say yes. I pull Luke into a hug, which quickly turned into a passionate kiss. After a little heated moment, Luke and I get out of the car and walk towards the stadium for the party. As we walk to the entrance, I just stare at awe at my beautiful ring. I look up at my lovely fiancé with a huge smile on my face which he matches.

As I walked into the stadium Luke instantly drags us to David de Gea, who's wife introduces herself and hugs me while Luke has a chat to David about football. Whilst hugging me, David's wife whispers "I know how scary this is, coming to one of these events for the first time. I promise everyone is so kind and lovely" I send her a thankful smile, being glad she had felt the same way her first time. David's wife, whose name was Edurne, introduced me to all the other wives who were equally as kind and welcoming as her. 

The whole night basically consisted of me meeting new people and showing them my ring. The worries I had before were completely wrong and defeated by the lovely people I met.

 As Luke and I drive home, my heart gleams as I simply stare with awe at my future husband. I never thought that I would be proposed to in a car park of a stadium, but that moment was more magical than I could have ever imagined.
