What a romantic story. I've heard so many couples who were madly in love but didn't get married at the first question :) She said no and they stayed together. It was simply not the right time. And then they got married.

They are an example of a great couple. People who are totally different but they click together perfectly. Differences are the key and compromises are crucial.

I hope that your story will continue with eventual 'yes' :)

Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
