“I was the person who said no.
We had only known each other for 3 months and he was smitten, I was more cautious. I said no, I like you but it’s way too soon. He asked when would be enough time, I said maybe a year.
He proposed again at midnight, one year after we first met, I said yes and we have been together 8 years now. I know a year was still not a long time, but we had a long engagement and didn’t get married for another 2.5 years.”
