We met when we were 19, back at our first call center job. We spent years being best friends and wasted a lot of time telling ourselves that we couldn't love one another for some dumb reason or another. It took years of always being there for each other, to decide that we didn't want to live without each other. So many people can't stand to be around their spouses for extended periods of time...but not us. There is still plenty of this life to live and we will always choose to share it with each other.

Many years ago, I told Chad that I wasn't ready to get married. He respected that, and never asked me to marry him. It was long enough ago, that I had totally forgotten that I ever said that. I thought he was waiting so long to be able to afford my dream ring with man-made diamonds. In 2016, I took him to Allstars and proposed to him in the photo booth. When we actually decided to get married, we bought new rings and I found my dream ring for an amazing price. He recently reminded me of when I told him I wasn't ready to get married. He remembered all that time and respected me so much that he waited for my move. I am so lucky that Chadosan is my man.
