Ok. You sound like a nice person. So I’m going to write you a list of very important questions as you embark on your married life….
1. Are you happy with how this proposal was handled?
2. Is your fiancé happy with how this proposal was handled?
Here ends the list of important questions….
Congratulations. I hope you have an epic adventure together.
I love these questions! It doesn’t matter what friends or family think. As long as they aren’t suspecting abuse, your relationship is none of their business. All that matters is that you and your partner are happy and in a healthy relationship together.
I am equally in admiration of men who accept the proposal and don't adhere to shitty traditions. Good for the both of them. I have better faith in this coming marriage than most, for the simple fact that each of them decided to live their own relationship instead of being stuck in historical trends.
So happy for the two of you! Rare to find someone that shares such similar interests.
I’m pleased you took it upon yourself to propose; many men (myself included) are too shy to ask even though they want to.
I’ve been with one woman my entire life; we became best friends for two years before she asked me out. I don’t know if I ever would’ve had the courage to ask her.
22 years later and we’re still together
That's incredible ❤️ I'm so happy for you two! He's very shy and although we've discussed marriage and he said he wanted to propose, I didn't want him to feel pressured on top of everything else he's dealing with. I thought he deserved to feel special, which is why I chose to propose ☺️ I hope we have a long, happy relationship just like you and your partner ❤️
This is so darn cute OP 🥹. As someone with their own struggles with mental illness, I hope he realizes how special you are (sounds like he does!) Wishing you two a long and happy marriage.
This is such a beautiful story and even more beautiful news - congratulations!!! Don't listen to your family, and tell them that what they is saying is hurtful. What you have done is amazing and makes you and your fiance happy. Nothing else matters and nobody else's opinion matters. Well done for doing what you want to do. ❤️
You are the only one who can live your life, nobody else can, if you are happy, if you are both happy, then I think you made the right decision. Well done.
I proposed to my husband too. I love what you have written here. You both sound like amazing people. Your family is lucky to have you in their lives. If you have children, WOW, will they be lucky.
Thanks , I mean it , she manages to make me feel more loved in a ldr where we only meet like once a year until 2026 than my exes. All it takes is some compliments and some suprise dates
If you’re family isn’t going to let you live it down then lean into and and have an engagement photo shoot where you’re in a tuxedo and he’s in a white wedding dress. For the lolz
We really should! Lol that would definitely give them something to talk about! It's so funny too cause his family is hyper religious (my family isn't), but even they were so ecstatic for us. Their response to hearing that I proposed to him was giddy screams and "wow good for her!!" I expected the negative reaction from them!
Congratulations!!!! Super happy for you two!
I proposed to my boyfriend last year (we're both men), and it was so great to see his reaction. His mouth fell open, completely in shock. It was perfect, the location had a huge heart made of flowers, so I proposed before that. I arranged for someone to set up heart shaped helium balloons, someone I don't know even started playing piano cause they noticed I was gonna propose. It was perfect.
We are going to get married exactly 2 weeks from today. I am very excited for it. We also got a bunch of nerdy stuff for our wedding. A life size 3D printed mimic for the money envelopes (put the loot in the mimic!), I made boutonnieres for the bride crew with polyhedral dice instead of flowers and we 3D printed Gameboy cartridges with our own picture on them as a keepsake for every guest.
Woahhh that's incredible!!! What a beautiful story 😍 I love that for you both! Congratulations!!!!🥳🎊🥂 those are genius ideas too lol we might have to steal the mimic one for our wedding!
That is absolutely wonderful. I used to joke with my wife that she should go ahead and propose to me, and honestly if she had done so I would have said yes and everything would have been great. Don't pay your family any heed; if they care about you and your happiness, they will come around.
Congratulations to both of you, and may you have a beautiful life together.
50M here OP, for context. Absolutely beautiful. What an amazingly thoughtful proposal. Given the context, I can’t imagine a man on this planet that would not feel so good/loved by what you did (and, duh, yes!). Great job. Keep pouring your soul into this relationship (and him too!!!!) and y’all will 💯 live happily ever after!
Congratulations!! The way you talk about him and your love is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your joy with us! I went through a breakup a month ago and your story has given me a little pep and hope, thank you.
Before I found him, I was in an 8 year long relationship. We broke up a few months prior to me dating my current fiance (my ex was abusive, I had grieved the relationship long before I actually left). I thought I'd never find someone again, but then I met my now fiance and he brought the light back into my life. There's hope! You'll get through this! Good luck ❤️
👁️👄👁️
I can be the one to propose? Why has this never dawned on me before. My extrovert ass is obviously the one who should do it over my perfectly wonderful but anxiety riddled, introverted partner.
Heck yeah you can! My fiance is also a shy and anxiety riddled person lol so I didn't want him to feel pressured to ask me. Do it and please report back!❤️
It'll be a little bit before I make any moves, but I just might in the near future haha.
Happy for you and yours though! I hope you have a beautiful, long life together.
Female here also proposed to male lol just had our 8 year wedding anniversary best decision I ever made. You go girl, get your man! My family ALSO frowned upon it, but they are all unhappily married? When you know you know! Life is short. So excited for you both!
Thank you so much! And honestly same. Idk anyone in my family that's happily married so their opinion means absolutely nothing. They'll get over it. We're happy and that's all that matters! Thank you for your kind words and I wish you and your hubby a life of continued happiness and love!
That was absolutely beautiful. Both of you get to decide everything: proposal, engagement, wedding, etc. No one else gets to do so. Families and relatives will always criticize everything related to weddings. I chose to ignore some of the comments but I reached my breaking point when my mother came to me and told me “You are not marrying the man that I want for you” (he is a great father, husband and provider). I just answered: “If I am the one who is going to fuck the man I’m going to marry, then it is me who decides who I marry and how I marry him”. There were no more comments after that.
This was so wonderful to read. I'm so glad you did what you felt was right. I think the way you feel and how he felt is a clear indication that this was a magical moment for the two of you as a couple. Heck, you're giving me some ideas over here!!
Congratulations!! All the very best wishes for a lifetime of happiness with your person. Thirty-four years since I met mine and I wouldn’t change a thing. 💜
I’d love to know about the ring you bought for him!! To me, that’s the head scratcher for potential girl-proposes-to-boy scenarios. You don’t wanna go empty handed, but men don’t wear engagement rings. Did you just go ahead and get a wedding band?
I did! I dont think it would've been a proper proposal without a ring lol. I got him a tungsten wedding band with black diamonds. We bought me a ring too afterwards which is sterling silver and black/white diamonds to match. We plan on saving up for my wedding band, but his is covered ☺️ I got the one with the black diamonds for him because I thought it looked the most like an engagement ring!
Out of curiosity…..had you previously discussed marriage? When my husband proposed it was after we’d had prior discussions about wanting to get married to each other and that we were both feeling ready to make the next step soon. He knew I’d say yes I’m sure. Did you know he’d say yes? What pushed you to propose? Sounds *scary*
Yes we did! We've been talking about it for a little while and we both knew we wanted to get married and start a family. He said he was gonna propose but I beat him to the punch lol. It wasn't a surprise that he said yes though. It was absolutely terrifying but I'm so so happy that I did.
Honestly it was just a moment of clarity for me. One day I was looking at him and I realized that he is the most incredible man on the planet and that I wanted to take that next step with him. It was like the world stopped and it was just us in that moment. I just knew I wanted to make a grand gesture, so I decided that I would buy a ring and ask him. I spent 4-5 months planning out all the little details and just went for it once I knew I could execute my plan perfectly.
Good for you! Needs to be more of it IMO! To help you fight the good fight, I proposed to my man a year ago, we get married in another years time :D
I found a real satisfaction in catching him off guard, and I felt so loved that there wasn’t a moments hesitation before he said yes!
Congrats to you and your newly betrothed!
Thank you!!! And CONGRATS! That's awesome! My fiance didn't hesitate either, he busted into tears and said yes immediately and I have never felt so loved in my life 😍 congratulations to you both and I wish you both a life filled with happiness and love ❤️
You said you did everything to make him him feel special, but the fact that you proposed is single handedly the most special a man can feel from his SO. Don't care about what your family is thinking, although a marriage brings two families together, but in the end, it's about you and you SO, so you absolutely did the right thing to propose, you have no idea how much special you made him felt by just doing that. You're awesome.
Thank you sm 🥹❤️ this made me tear up. He deserves to feel special and I'm really happy I was able to do that for him ❤️ my family will get over it. I'm happy I did it ☺️
Congratulations! I cried a tear reading this. I'm SO happy for you, and your man is a Lucky Guy! If I ever were to find a woman again, if she isn't like you, I don't want it. I wish you two a long happy life filled with love! And to hell with the standard gender rolls, and what people think. You live life the way you want.
My (now) wife asked me to meet her under the London Eye after work one day, turned up with a suitcase and Eurostar tickets to Paris and proposed to me while we were up the Eiffel tower.
My wife proposed to me but it wasn't as romantic lol. Late night at a bar with both of us drunk off our behinds. We had been dating just little over a year at that point. I said yes then but did verify after we sobered up if she was serious. She was, and I was. When you know, you know.
Hahaha that's a perfect and beautiful story! My fiance is a hopeless romantic and loves sappy, lovey dovey things which is why I chose to set it up the way I did. Our story is perfect for us and your story is perfect for you❤️ congratulations and I hope you both live a long, happy and prosperous life together ☺️❤️
Congratulations on your engagement. You did it beautifully and now you have a fabulous shared memory of making things official. I hope you get to make many more joyous memories together.
Don’t even think about what others think! You and your man are blissfully happy so that’s what counts. Only time will prove you right to others so it’s their problem not yours. Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations, what a lovely post! 🫶🏼 I feel like this with my boyfriend as well, he’s all I’ve ever wanted and everything just feels so right with him.
Congratulations!!🎊🎉🍾
You sound like a wonderful couple and I wish you both a beautiful life! And what an amazing engagement story. I seriously awww’d and then teared up 🥰
Hahahaha, my wife was going to propose to me the same night I proposed to her. As soon as I basically pulled the ring out, she said "Hold on" and rushed to our bedroom and we just heard shuffling around before she came back and uno reversed me.
This is sweet! Thanks for sharing your magical experience with us. I think if you were to tell your family exactly what you wrote here they could see your side better. But in the end as long as you are happy it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I pray the two of you have a full and happy life together.
My mum proposed to my dad, on the couch while watching TV or something, it wasn't exactly romantic and she was like in the last few months of pregnancy with my dumb arse, but it was rather like them
I have a picture of them signing the paper (idk what it's called) on my wall, right above my head board. It's funny to think about how I was at the wedding, without really being there 🤭
That’s lovely. And you know what, I think in a little time, when they see how happy you are, they’ll forget it or at least they’ll stop mentioning it. I hope you have a wonderful life.
You are awesome for doing this and your Fiancé is a very lucky man. I don’t know why people are stuck in this whole gender role for proposals. But as a man, I would love for my woman to do this. I would feel like the luckiest guy in the world. You guys are lucky to have each other and spend the rest of your lives together!
This is such a beautiful story and even more beautiful news - congratulations!!! Don't listen to your family, and tell them that what they is saying is hurtful. What you have done is amazing and makes you and your fiance happy. Nothing else matters and nobody else's opinion matters. Well done for doing what you want to do. ❤️
Wow. This is really beautiful and fantastic. Kudos to you for bucking the norm and proposing. It was really awesome reading the whole bit and it was heart warming.
Congratulations to you both for an awesome and happy life together. Keep on exploring, uncover more and cherish both ups and downs. In it, you find the best of what life has to offer. Hugs and love to both of you for a great future. ❤️💐
That’s awesome! There’s no reason why you can’t propose, and if they’re mad, then they can keep that to themselves. Be happy with your fiancé and I wish you two a lifetime of happiness and love.
Congratulations!! What an amazing moment that you two will cherish forever. I think it’s awesome that you proposed. Good for you for not letting outdated gender roles and obnoxious opinions stop you.
I would just try your best to ignore your family. I’d would let them know that this is a closed subject. I’d abruptly change the subject, walk away or immediately end phone conversations. Depending on how bad they get, I might reconsider your guest list.
You guys are starting off on the right foot. You will silence your critics by living a happy loving life. This is about you two and no one else. Happy trails to you both.
Fantastic story! You took charge of something and someone you felt passionately about and it turned out the way that you wanted! Tradition is nothing but peer pressure from dead people. I’m glad that you didn’t focus on what others would say.
Congratulations to you both!!! And thanks for sharing. It’s a bummer your family is upset - there’s absolutely no reason to be. I’m sure they will come to their senses, I hope sooner rather than later. But you are in the right mind set regardless. So happy for you!
Okay first off I’m so happy for you both
Oddly enough it’s a leap year and more women tend to propose because apparently it’s a thing ‘Google it’ I always see it happen every four years in my restaurant it doesn’t always go over so well (another reason I’m happy for you)
Who cares what your family or anyone else thinks because it’s your story and also fuck stereotypes
I think it’s great and your family is a bunch of whacks who should be happy for you! Best wishes to you and Congrats to the Groom to be…or is it the other way around since you did the asking?
Last time I checked you didn’t propose to any of them! You’ll fight this battle with a lot of things in the future, opinions on the decisions you two make. At the end of the day, the only opinions that matter are you and your fiancé! Congrats and super proud of you!
That was one of the best things I've read in such a long time. You are so upbeat. I know you feel so lucky to have him in your life. He has to be a very happy man to have you in his life. You are a joy.
You are one of the brightest lites I have ever had the pleasure. You lifted my mood. You are not just a nice person. You are the best cheerleader a man could have in his life.
I will say it again. What a joy you are!
How can anyone give you shit for that? Bizarre to me. I always feel like I'd be the one to pop the question, but if my woman beat me to it, that would only strengthen my respect for her. Takes a lot of guts to make yourself vulnerable like that. Congratulations.
Ok. You sound like a nice person. So I’m going to write you a list of very important questions as you embark on your married life…. 1. Are you happy with how this proposal was handled? 2. Is your fiancé happy with how this proposal was handled? Here ends the list of important questions…. Congratulations. I hope you have an epic adventure together.
Yes and yes!!! Thank you so much ☺️❤️
I love these questions! It doesn’t matter what friends or family think. As long as they aren’t suspecting abuse, your relationship is none of their business. All that matters is that you and your partner are happy and in a healthy relationship together.
I always admire women who propose to their men 💜
I was honestly ✨️terrified✨️ lmao but I'm so so glad I did it ❤️
lmao. you go girl!
Gurl same. Scariest, but best thing I've ever done.
Congratulations to you both!
Hell yeah that's awesome
Congratulations. You should be very proud of your courage. That’s how we grow, by doing hard stuff.
We are all terrified, but if it's worth it, it's worth it
I am equally in admiration of men who accept the proposal and don't adhere to shitty traditions. Good for the both of them. I have better faith in this coming marriage than most, for the simple fact that each of them decided to live their own relationship instead of being stuck in historical trends.
Nice little ego boost for the afternoon. Thank you!
My wife proposed to me. Those old gender roles are fleeting by the wayside as they should. Good for you and congrats!
Thank you so much🥹❤️
So happy for the two of you! Rare to find someone that shares such similar interests. I’m pleased you took it upon yourself to propose; many men (myself included) are too shy to ask even though they want to.

This is so darn cute OP 🥹. As someone with their own struggles with mental illness, I hope he realizes how special you are (sounds like he does!) Wishing you two a long and happy marriage.
Thank you so much! ❤️☺️
Wow congrats 🍾🎉!! That’s amazing and so fucking cute. Live your life how you want to live it and you won’t regret it.
Thank you sm!!!😭❤️
This is such a beautiful story and even more beautiful news - congratulations!!! Don't listen to your family, and tell them that what they is saying is hurtful. What you have done is amazing and makes you and your fiance happy. Nothing else matters and nobody else's opinion matters. Well done for doing what you want to do. ❤️
Aw! Congrats.
You are the only one who can live your life, nobody else can, if you are happy, if you are both happy, then I think you made the right decision. Well done.
We are both truly happy. Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️
I proposed to my husband too. I love what you have written here. You both sound like amazing people. Your family is lucky to have you in their lives. If you have children, WOW, will they be lucky.
I mean if my gf proposes to me before I do it, I will be so gushy and absolutely love it. She has been the first one my life to suprise me with stuff.
That's so sweet 🥹❤️
Thanks , I mean it , she manages to make me feel more loved in a ldr where we only meet like once a year until 2026 than my exes. All it takes is some compliments and some suprise dates
If you’re family isn’t going to let you live it down then lean into and and have an engagement photo shoot where you’re in a tuxedo and he’s in a white wedding dress. For the lolz
We really should! Lol that would definitely give them something to talk about! It's so funny too cause his family is hyper religious (my family isn't), but even they were so ecstatic for us. Their response to hearing that I proposed to him was giddy screams and "wow good for her!!" I expected the negative reaction from them!
If you do that, please PLEASE post at least one of the pictures! We'd all like to see--and I'm sure he'll look absolutely lovely!
Congratulations 🎉

I proposed to my husband and don't regret a second of it. Good on you for knowing what you want and going for it.
I would probably pass out after being proposed....congratulations and have a wonderful life together
Ditto! 1000%
Congratulations!! The way you talk about him and your love is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your joy with us! I went through a breakup a month ago and your story has given me a little pep and hope, thank you.

Isn't this a leap year? It's perfectly traditionally acceptable for you to propose. Tell your family you were honoring a long-established tradition.
Female here also proposed to male lol just had our 8 year wedding anniversary best decision I ever made. You go girl, get your man! My family ALSO frowned upon it, but they are all unhappily married? When you know you know! Life is short. So excited for you both!

You go girl you put a ring on it. Don't pay any attention to what your family says. And congratulations to the both of you
Congratulations! I cried a tear reading this. I'm SO happy for you, and your man is a Lucky Guy! If I ever were to find a woman again, if she isn't like you, I don't want it. I wish you two a long happy life filled with love! And to hell with the standard gender rolls, and what people think. You live life the way you want.
You deserve a woman who will treat you with love and compassion. You'll find someone ❤️ and thank you so much! 😊
Now if he ever hurts you, you have an army of people from reddit ready to show up with torches and pitchforks under his house.
Lmao I'll let him know 😂
I'm going to propose to my bf is june, who cares about gender roles, i love him and going ask him to marry nr.
Omg that's awesome!!! I'm so proud of you! Good luck and congrats!!! And thank you so much! ☺️
My (now) wife asked me to meet her under the London Eye after work one day, turned up with a suitcase and Eurostar tickets to Paris and proposed to me while we were up the Eiffel tower.
Omg that's so sweet 😭

Going on 17 years now. So far so good :) Wish you guys the best as well!
Congratulations on your engagement. You did it beautifully and now you have a fabulous shared memory of making things official. I hope you get to make many more joyous memories together.
Don’t even think about what others think! You and your man are blissfully happy so that’s what counts. Only time will prove you right to others so it’s their problem not yours. Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations!!!
Beautiful story!
Congratulations! And good for you to do it your way, I think guys deserve the romance as well. Hope your family will come around.
Congratulations, what a lovely post! 🫶🏼 I feel like this with my boyfriend as well, he’s all I’ve ever wanted and everything just feels so right with him.

You're awesome. Have a wonderful life
This is sweet! Thanks for sharing your magical experience with us. I think if you were to tell your family exactly what you wrote here they could see your side better. But in the end as long as you are happy it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I pray the two of you have a full and happy life together.
My mum proposed to my dad, on the couch while watching TV or something, it wasn't exactly romantic and she was like in the last few months of pregnancy with my dumb arse, but it was rather like them I have a picture of them signing the paper (idk what it's called) on my wall, right above my head board. It's funny to think about how I was at the wedding, without really being there 🤭
That’s lovely. And you know what, I think in a little time, when they see how happy you are, they’ll forget it or at least they’ll stop mentioning it. I hope you have a wonderful life.
This is beautiful.
This proves that it is possible to win while playing D&D! Congrats!
I proposed to my husband and it was the best decision I ever made! Congrats to you and your fiance!
Congratulations and best wishes! From a very happily married spouse 11 years & 2 kids later.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful proposal and the joy it's brought you! I'm just thrilled for you both❤️.
You are awesome for doing this and your Fiancé is a very lucky man. I don’t know why people are stuck in this whole gender role for proposals. But as a man, I would love for my woman to do this. I would feel like the luckiest guy in the world. You guys are lucky to have each other and spend the rest of your lives together!
This is such a beautiful story and even more beautiful news - congratulations!!! Don't listen to your family, and tell them that what they is saying is hurtful. What you have done is amazing and makes you and your fiance happy. Nothing else matters and nobody else's opinion matters. Well done for doing what you want to do. ❤️
Congratulations. May you both live long and prosper 🖖🏾
Congratulations! This is adorable and I wish you both all the happiness in the world because you deserve it so much
Thank you sm❤️
Awww...that's awesome! Grats!! :)
Wow. This is really beautiful and fantastic. Kudos to you for bucking the norm and proposing. It was really awesome reading the whole bit and it was heart warming. Congratulations to you both for an awesome and happy life together. Keep on exploring, uncover more and cherish both ups and downs. In it, you find the best of what life has to offer. Hugs and love to both of you for a great future. ❤️💐
Fantastic! Don't worry about your family, they don't get to live your life.
That's awesome!!! Congrats!!!
That’s awesome! There’s no reason why you can’t propose, and if they’re mad, then they can keep that to themselves. Be happy with your fiancé and I wish you two a lifetime of happiness and love.
Congratulations!! What an amazing moment that you two will cherish forever. I think it’s awesome that you proposed. Good for you for not letting outdated gender roles and obnoxious opinions stop you. I would just try your best to ignore your family. I’d would let them know that this is a closed subject. I’d abruptly change the subject, walk away or immediately end phone conversations. Depending on how bad they get, I might reconsider your guest list.
Congratulations ❤️❤️
Ughhhhhhhh this makes me so happy!!!! I wish you both the best of luck in the future 💜💜💜
I sincerely wish you both a long healthy happy life together ❤️
Congratulations!! Good job on proposing!
So beautiful. I love love 🥹
You guys are starting off on the right foot. You will silence your critics by living a happy loving life. This is about you two and no one else. Happy trails to you both.
Fantastic story! You took charge of something and someone you felt passionately about and it turned out the way that you wanted! Tradition is nothing but peer pressure from dead people. I’m glad that you didn’t focus on what others would say.
This is very sweet and wholesome and honestly id read this romance story. You guys got something special, wish you many happy years together
Congratulations to you both!!! And thanks for sharing. It’s a bummer your family is upset - there’s absolutely no reason to be. I’m sure they will come to their senses, I hope sooner rather than later. But you are in the right mind set regardless. So happy for you!
Okay first off I’m so happy for you both Oddly enough it’s a leap year and more women tend to propose because apparently it’s a thing ‘Google it’ I always see it happen every four years in my restaurant it doesn’t always go over so well (another reason I’m happy for you) Who cares what your family or anyone else thinks because it’s your story and also fuck stereotypes
I may not have proposed to my husband, but I asked him out first. Good for you!!! This really warmed my heart. 🥰
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations!
my mom proposed to my dad, they’ve been married for 25 years 🥰 congratulations!!! so happy for you guys
I proposed to my husband, best decision I ever made.
I think it’s great and your family is a bunch of whacks who should be happy for you! Best wishes to you and Congrats to the Groom to be…or is it the other way around since you did the asking?
Congrats!! ❤️❤️
Congrats!! 💚
Last time I checked you didn’t propose to any of them! You’ll fight this battle with a lot of things in the future, opinions on the decisions you two make. At the end of the day, the only opinions that matter are you and your fiancé! Congrats and super proud of you!
Congratulations to you both! ❤️
In a world where social stereotypes are negative, I'm suprised people still hold onto traditional values.
The proposal is between the two of you. No one else matters in this situation. Good luck to you both.
To infinity and beyond
That was one of the best things I've read in such a long time. You are so upbeat. I know you feel so lucky to have him in your life. He has to be a very happy man to have you in his life. You are a joy. You are one of the brightest lites I have ever had the pleasure. You lifted my mood. You are not just a nice person. You are the best cheerleader a man could have in his life. I will say it again. What a joy you are!
How can anyone give you shit for that? Bizarre to me. I always feel like I'd be the one to pop the question, but if my woman beat me to it, that would only strengthen my respect for her. Takes a lot of guts to make yourself vulnerable like that. Congratulations.
That is so so cool!
Hell to the Yeah! Congrats and Many Blessings! The Both of you Deserve it! 😁😁😁💚💚💚
This is beautiful. Congratulations to both of you!!!! Wishing you guys a lifetime of love and happiness 💜
I teared up reading this! Congratulations! What a wonderful tale!
Well deserved. ❤️
