Alan gave me the ring on his birthday, December 23. Christmas 2014 is definitely one I will never
forget.
There was no ‘on-bended-knee’ proposal and I never felt like I was waiting
for him to do anything. Everything happened over a period of time. Since our
first days together when we started dating, we had always talked openly about
marriage, children and our future in general. So it was never a question of
whether we’d get married but just a matter of when.
