We're Getting Married!

I live in San Diego and Steven lives in the UK (in London and Scotland). We met in September 2019 while he was on holiday here in California. He decided to make his way down to San Diego from Los Angeles. We matched on Tinder and it turned out that he was less than half a mile away from me, which put us both at Sunset Cliffs where we were watching the sunset at the same time! We decided to meet for drinks and spent the entire night talking and laughing together. He ended up walking me home – being the perfect gentleman that he is – and asked if I would do something crazy with him and spend the weekend with him in Santa Monica. I am always up for an adventure and knew I felt an instant connection from the moment I saw him and ended up saying “yes”! The weekend was wonderful; full of live music and fun. We decided to keep in touch via WhatsApp when he went back home. We ended up speaking, FaceTiming and texting every day! Learning the times that would work for the both of us was a challenge as we lived thousands of miles from each other, but we made it work. In November 2019, we planned for me to visit him in London and when I got there, he surprised me with a mini trip to Paris. It was a very romantic second date! After spending time together (where I had my very first Sunday roast), I knew I was willing to put in the work to enter a long-distance relationship. As the months went by, we tackled all the hardships of being alone for the Holidays as well as the time difference, but our communication skills grew stronger and stronger by the day. In December 2020, I was able to leave and we planned to meet in Scotland for Christmas and New Year. It was at the Eilean Donan Castle that Steven surprised me and asked me to marry him-, saying every King needs a Queen by their side and if I would be his. Steven had made my dreams of being a princess come true! I love Disney and he has given me a real-life fairytale.
