Photo by me, run through Photoshop to soften background and add title. Martin and I have been together for over ten years, and I still consider myself to be the luckiest woman in the world! We are not married, and don't even live in the same house - an arrangement that suits both of us right down to the ground. However, we are more committed to each other and to our relationship than many married couples I know! He is the love of my life. The ring isn't new - Martin bought me that several years ago. My Valentine's Day flowers this year? Three dozen long-stemmed red roses.
