A couple of years ago I posted this on this board:

I was really grateful for the encouragement and support here at the time.
Well, we've been together ever since, without a cross word spoken, and I just wanted to let you know that we've just got engaged.
It'll be quite a while before we actually tie the knot, as practical circumstances (housing/children) still prevent us from living together, but we're very happy.

Congratulations to you both. Such lovely news.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame.
