How did your love story begin?

 

We were both doing our second year at University. I was looking for a Res and he already got it in the same building. He approached me and asked for a number of which I don’t really give my number away but I asked no questions I just gave it to him and I really didn’t think he was gonna call. On my way home I received a call and it was him “ just checking on you” He said. Luckily I finally got accepted to the same Residence as him and believe u me everytime I was around He was just there by coincidence. He took my bags in and I had an envelope on my hand which had my photos. He took it and said I stay at room 2018 come and get them when you done unpacking. I really didn’t have energy for Him so I didn’t argue I just started unpacking. My roommate had her bf over so I decided to leave when I was done unpacking to give them space. I went to his room and he gave me my envelope back and I left. When I opened the envelope he had replaced one of my photos with his. Decided to go back to him and tell him the mistake that I thought had happened and his answer was “ what’s with you is yours and what’s with me is mine” surprisingly I never really had the energy to argue with him, so I left. He then started hitting on me. At that point I was really not in a good space to be in a relationship had just lost a child and told I’d never have kids again in future. I had suffered “abruptio placenta” so I told him I wasn’t interested in a relationship and didn’t think I would ever be. His answer “ I will wait for you, in the meantime I will just be here anytime you need me” . We became good friends he got to know me and I got to know him better too. We spent a lot of time together until one day we kissed and I decided let’s try it and see where it takes us until today after 10 years we are getting married with two sons. He fell inlove with my personality and I fell inlove with his.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

Me and my fiancé we are just ordinary people we never have money to do expensive things but I always appreciated the little things he does for me and the love he has for me. He’s a very shy person so we were standing at the robots and he just went down on his knee and proposed. There were no cars but I waited till there were lots on Cars I enjoyed watching him sweat and some driver saw his and cheered for him then I accepted
