    We met when we were both 23. We were together for 7 years before getting married (we were married on our 7-year dating anniversary). We got engaged 10 months before our wedding. We'll be celebrating 15 years together and 8 years married next month. Every day gets better and better. Every moment I get to spend with him is a complete gift. :)
