We've been through a lot--pretty much right from the beginning. We started dating after my parents died. I wanted someone to take care of me and he did. I mean...it's more than that. I guess the easiest way to put it is I just know he's the only one. I don't think there's anything that could keep us apart. We're also together in the dreams, so there's that.
As for getting married, we're already basically husband and wife anyways. He's 6 years older than me and has reached the phase where he's ready to settle now that he has the right girl and I've always been the kind that wanted the white picket fence and all.
