After being widowed at 32 and going through all the chaos that is online dating, I met a man who says what he means, shows what he feels, and puts me and our little family at the top of his priority list consistently. He's my equal and my partner in every sense of the word...and he asked me to be his wife ❤

Happily married 🎉
