@steven She said Yes 💍🥺 To say I was nervous is an understatement… i could feel my heart racing in my chest. She thought I was away in Europe - but I had snuck into Morocco on Christmas Day where she was on holiday with her family - I asked her mother and father if I could ask her to marry me - then had to build this big hut outside because a thunderstorm was forecast last minute 😅 - and then I stepped out and surprised her when she thought she was meeting her fam for dinner. Thankfully she said yes. 10 years ago, I didn’t really understand the concept of marriage as many of you know - I was definitely an “avoidant” - but when you meet the right person, a lot of things start to make a lot of sense ❤️ Update: thank you for all the kind words and congratulations!!!
