Rob to Pat

Wedding date:  2006 / 2007

He was disillusioned with females in general and thinking of everything but commitment.

We met last in 2003 through a mutual friend, at a party and started chatting. I still remember thinking how nice he was, and that I hadn't met someone so interesting in such a long time.  

After the party some friends of mine decided to go out for a drink and, seeing that we were really getting along, my best friend asked him to join us, which he did.  We talked all the time.

I remember hoping that he would ask me for my number. Later I found out that he kept trying to bring up any subject that would lead him to asking me for my number!  The following week he asked me on a date, which went really well and we set a date for the following weekend.

We've been together ever since and I’m glad to say it was a really great year since we work in the same profession and agree on everything.  Him not being ready for commitment and me not wanting a serious relationship ended up in being both of us extremely happy together.

I never thought that I could ever feel this way for someone. I never thought that there really was someone out there who would be perfect for me. I always thought that being with someone meant hard work. But I now know what it means because I have met my soul mate.

We plan to get married when we settle down financially which will hopefully be in about two to three years' time.

I want to take the opportunity to thank him for making this past year the happiest in my life and to tell him that I can't wait to spend every moment with him.
