Vampires In Cowboy Boots

My partner Paul and I have been together for 16 years - and we've known each other for 22 years. We've been talking about getting married for at least 10 years and really we've been engaged for 9, we have a house, we have a child. We just never quite seem to get around to the actual getting married

And yes, your sums are right there. I'm 30, I've know him since I was 8, we've been dating since I was 14 and we got engaged when I was 21. Our daughter was 4 in January. We have such a cliche love story at times but I still look at him and get butterflies!

I think maybe next year the actual getting married bit is going to happen. We've had engagement pictures, we've sent out save the date cards and I've started looking at dresses. We've talked to venues for the reception.

I guess it's true what they say about good things come to those who wait, and that it's worth the wait and... as many other similar sayings you can think of. But... I think I''m actually going to get my dream, fairytale, wedding!
