We have 2 gorgeous little boys who were born in 2003 and 2005.
However we have only been husband and wife since September 2008, yes we had been together for a little under 9 yrs when we got married.
I always wanted to get married but Steve was a little hesitant. He had been married before and didn't really see what difference it made. I had to agree on some of that with him. Unfortunately I was never going to ask him! I may have lived with him and had 2 children before we got married but I was still very traditional at heart and felt he had to ask me, oh, and he also had to ask my father's permission as well.
Here is a link to what I wrote about marriage back in 2007
Luckily for us, things changed and Steve finally did ask my parents in Nov 2007, although it then took him another 4 months (March 1st 2008) before he asked me! You can read all about that here.
However on Saturday 20th September 2008 we got married
