My sweetie and I met in Mexico. She was from Vancouver and I was from Toronto. In 3 days I knew she was the one, 31 years later, I’m still madly in love with her. When you know you know.;0)

If only there were truth in advertising, hopefully she picked well, although these decisions shouldn’t be made to quickly. I found this to be very entertaining.

Hi Richard, some smart girls wait, specific reasons to marry, career, etc. but the biological clocks tick. Conventional wisdom says you'll know what you want only after you've seen a lot of what you don't however, all clichés and list of reasons why not can be cancelled out by selecting someone with 'profound' &'significant' things in common! Marriage works when two compromise.
