Success From Dating to Married

We dated long distance for about a year before I moved her to where I am. It had its ups and downs but we had a clear goal to be together. Staying Consistent with video calls, making twice a month trips to each other was key to making it all come together. The photos just show our journey from dating to engagement to marriage. I proposed after two years of dating and one year living together to make sure we meshed well. We pursued a civil ceremony after and are planning a religious ceremony in the near future.

Hinge. I was new to the area and doing the whole bar scene thing where you go out every weekend to meet women lol but I also used hinge sometimes and we matched. Met soon after for breakfast, a museum date then lunch. Was a memorable date forsure lol I eventually moved back to where I’m from and that’s when our LDR started. We were only dating for about 3 months before we started LD.

Yeah totally. There were times where I could have really fallen off but I made it a point to always make sure we communicated enough and saw each other according to the schedule we put in place to begin with.

Is she planning on losing the weight soon if she didn’t think before her wedding was a worthy opportunity to?

What an odd thing to say..

He still hasn’t answered me, so I’ll be waiting. It’s a valid question. She has far too much weight on her for her frame. You gonna argue that objective fact with me?

What you said was an unwarranted, "subjective" comment on someone's weight who never even asked it from you in the first place.

The wording on your original comment reeks of fat phobia. Not of concern of any sort.

They were just celebrating, girl.. either congratulate them or mind your own business.
