The Fear of Putting a Ring on It

It was Labor Day weekend of 2016 when I had met my husband for the first time.

However, a thing you should know right off the bat is shit’s going to get fucking stressful. There is no way around it.

Shit is going to get real, and it is going to get real fast. So my advice to you is take every chance you have to celebrate and celebrate big. And the first and obvious celebration is the proposal.
