I'm going to take a note and follow the group on this one - it looks fun at least.
(You can find the original here)
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Our first official date was on November 21, 2009. We "met" on eharmony a few weeks before - November 11.
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
Eharmony
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
Just over 1 year - November 20, 2010 is our wedding date.
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We needed a religious-neutral location, so we did the whole thing at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Dallas, TX. The ceremony was supposed to be in one room but two weeks prior to the wedding it flooded and they had to pretty much remove the ceiling, so the ceremony was moved to a different one...same hotel. It was an average size - about 135-140 guests. We had a blast!
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
Mine: Bolton (my maiden name) or Bets His: Hey Love of My Life...
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
He is extremely hard working, he pushes me to be better (at many things) than I ever thought I could be, and we can talk about everything with each other (keeps our minds going).
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He convinced me to take the next day - a Friday - off of work. After I'd done that, he secretly set up a video camera, snuck in to the office to get the ring, and came back to the kitchen. He spun me to face him - I was on a barstool at our counter - and got on one knee. At first I thought he was joking and the ring was really from Target or something because he said that's what he'd do one day. I honestly don't remember what he actually said, but I squealed and barely got out a "yes" over the happy tears.
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
NOT a flower and teddy bear guy. Big on the champagne - mostly to get me tipsy :)
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
It really depends on the night. Most weekends we have a couple of friends over and cook dinner/grill one night and spend the other night just hanging out together watching a movie.
10. Tell us one thng you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
Travel through Europe - backpacking style. And definitely go to India!
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
We didn't really do much because we've never been big on celebrating this one.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
Just some champagne.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Don't let things fester - tell each other as soon as you are ready. And the other person needs to be ready and willing to listen.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
Still having fun with each other as we grow older. And growing together - old and otherwise.
What's your love story???
