We met in St Paul, Minnesota in 1999, and have lived together in a committed relationship since 2000. Though I refer to Starkraven as "My Wife" on the pages of DU, we have never been officially "Married".
Well, if you weren't married, then it wasn't much of a "committed relationship." Marriage IS the committed relationship. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ring.
In any case, bvar22, finally you're coming to your senses and are going to make an honest woman out of her. Congrats! All the best!
