1. Hmm...He was involved with a married friend of mine (I didn't have a clue..he was always there...strange really). But I REMEMBER meeting him for the first time in fall of 1987. We were officially introduced at aNew Year's Eve 1987 party (31 Dec 87) at said married friend's house. We had a cute flirtation for a few months (always around said friend..he was really her puppy dog...LONG story) and had our first official date on 6 June 1988. He fixed me a Prego spaghetti dinner and I never went home.
We have been together ever since. (Yes married friend has since divorced and remarried and is a VERY close friend of ours..it is so complicated..but she gave me the greatest gift
) So that makes me 28 and him 32.
2. OFFICIALLY accepted proposal came on Christmas Day 1990. We had already had Sageofages son # 1 and were happily co-habitating. He had asked probably a dozen times before, but I wasn't in a hurry and it was working just fine
. I like to remind him I didn't get an engagement ring, I got an engagement baby
.
3. Official engagement ended with nuptials on 13 April 1991. So...3 months and 20 days.
Pair bonded and soulmates ever since........
