Thank you Shan! That’s sweet of you to share our engagement story. It’s definitely been a wild ride, but I’m so glad I spent it with him! 😀
Jess,
Thank you for sharing your sweet love story. I dig love. Seventeen years ago, I met a guy and didn’t like him much. This August, we’ll celebrate seventeen years as husband and wife.
He grew on me. =)
Today, he told me he still can’t get enough of me.
May you have that, and more, in your marriage.
And, from me, getting the spot next to T’Pol and Trip is a Very High Honor, just so you know! =)
