I met my fiancé at work. Actually he was my boss and he was the one who hired me. At the time I was dating someone else who was totally wrong for me, but when I went in to hand in my CV I saw him and my jaw practically dropped, I thought he was perfect (since realized this is not entirely true haha). I was 19, he was 22 and a few months went by of me being ridiculously infatuated with him. Eventually I had to break up with my boyfriend of the time and tell him and once i did one thing led to another and we've been together ever since. Never been more than five days without each other and I moved in with him after a week.

He asked me to marry him on our first holiday together in August aftet being together five years a of course I said yes.
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

A coworker invited me to go on a fishing trip with her and her guy friend -- apparently he was in love with her but wouldn't take the hint that she already had a boyfriend and wasn't interested. But he kept inviting her to go fishing with him, and she really loves fishing, so she wanted me to go as a kind of interference so he wouldn't get any funny ideas.
Well, turns out that he ended up liking me more than he liked her... because she threw the fish into the water from the dock and I lowered them gently with a bucket and rope.... he liked that I am kind to animals like that, even fish. I felt bad for him because my coworker was so mean to him yet he was such a sweetie!
