Six years ago, I joined SH as a single girl in search of sexual adventure. Having drinks after my first munch with Vix and Reese, they mentioned a chap they thought I should meet, a friend of theirs called Marmalaid. They just warned me not to fall for him, as others had done in the past... He wasn't the falling in love type.
At my second munch, I was glad to meet the charming Marmalaid, who picked me up off my feet and made me shriek and giggle. But I met so many people that night... Although I thought he was lovely, and we saw each other at various munched, parties and socials over the next year, somehow we never got round to making a date.
Then one day, he was driving down to a wedding in Cornwall, and he met me for a coffee on the way back past Somerset.
We spent two months meeting more and more often and eventually both had to admit we weren't just swinging, we had fallen in love (Vix and Reese were the first people we told!) a month later, I moved halfway across the country to move in with him.
On Sunday, I was on a girls shopping trip in New York, looking at diamonds on the 2nd floor of Tiffany's, when he totally surprised me by sneaking up behind me (I thought he was safely at home in England) getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him. I said yes :-)
I don't know if many here will remember us, as we've not been round for years, but we wanted to come back and share our happy news where it all started! Thank you SH for being the place we both met the love of our life.

Congratulations - that is so romantic!!!!! Where has the time gone. I was just saying that to an old friend last night who was at the Staggy's wedding reception where you two were. I know people say never meet on this site and expect anything if you are single but there are people who have proved to be the exception to the rule and you are are that - feet on the ground and have definitely not rushed into a life long commitment which I know this will be. All the best for your future both of you.
