Ok, since I just now saw this thread - and to respond to the O.P. - I am a living success story for CS.
I met my lovely wife here and we've been together for roughly a year and a half and were married one year, three weeks and two days ago. It continues to boggle my mind how quickly the time has passed -- I moved to East Tennessee in March of last year and I could swear that it feels like only a few weeks have passed. She continues to be the light of my life and my very reason for living. And I continue to feel whole and complete for the first time in my life. My biggest hope is that someday I can repay everything she has done for me.
The "Knoxville area picnic/get-together" that was held a few weeks ago was the day after our first anniversary and was designed specifically so that our friends from CS (where we met!) could help us celebrate our special day.
I've been asked why I (we) remain here (on CS) even though we've found each other (I've even been called a
fool and a
cheater for being here!) and the simple answer is that, 1st and foremost, I like the ability to send her virtual flowers and, 2nd, I (we) remain on the forums because of the friends we've made and continue to make, some of which I've no doubt will be life-long.
Soooo... Happy - YES! Succesful - Beyond our wildest dreams!
I never knew that it was possible to be this content in life and love and I owe it all to an exceedingly marvelous little package of exquisite womanhood from East Tennessee!
