My FI and I met when I was 13.My father was born in England so that summer my grandmother took my brother and I on a month long trip to get to know where my father was from. I'd been writing letters to my cousin and was excited to meet her and her friends. When I'd finally reached my dads home town and met my cousin she introduced me to Danny, instantly I was blown away (as much as you can be at 13 I suppose lol) that evening us and a few others played truth or dared me to kiss Danny. It was my first kiss and it was magical (I now know it was his first too) Over the next couple days we all went to the beach an showed me around Danny and I sneaking kisses when no one was looking. Unfortunately that was the end of my trip, I had to go back home to Canada. Over the years I never forgot about Danny and we would briefly talk (msn, MySpace, Facebook) but nothing serious. Until last year my best friend and I decided to do a big Europe trip. About 8 months before I sent him a message telling him I'd be visiting (hoping he'd want to see me) he was in the military now but said he couldn't miss the chance to see me, he'd figure it out. We hadn't talked much over the years but now with technology we started texting...alot. We had an app that allowed us to call each other for free and we would spend hours on the phone. In February he was getting a weeks leave from work and he decided he couldn't wait until June to see me again. He flew out and we had the most amazing week and began dating. Over the next few months we'd fly to see each other when we could. He managed to get two weeks off for both our birthdays in November and I was so excited he was coming. The night before I went to pick him up at the airport my father said he would prefer to take me (I have Crohn's disease and had been very sick) I thought it was a bit odd but allowed it. After what felt like he was the last person to get off the plane. He finally walked through the airport door and gave me a huge hug (where he had first hugged me 9 months earlier) all of a sudden he dropped down on one knee told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with my and had the most beautiful ring. I Ofcourse crying said yes and my dad had the whole thing recorded. Now we are planning to get married may 19, 2014 in Jamaica and also planning where we will live. I know it's long but that's my story
