Congrats! Enjoy your journey through life together. I recently got married and let me tell you, it gets better everyday. It’s a lot of work but truly worth it in the end. The both of you should remember these two words (especially through the wedding planning process) – patience and understanding. 🙂

I’m speechless… May I just say I’ve only been visiting this site for a year, but you’ve saved me countless amount of money and I think you’s shown yourself to be one of the most gracious, humble and hard working girl around (internet/site owner/beauty blogger, pick one). I am so happy for you. Congratulations. So, so happy you found love so early in life. Treasure it.

And maybe we can finally see the mysterious guy? 😀 hehe. I’m a busybody, I know. Ignore me.

OH YAY! Congratulations, Christine! I’ve been reading your blog for a maybe 9 months and the day I found out you could email Shaun about tech problems I wanted to ask him when he was going to propose, but of course I didn’t, that would be rude. I’m so so so glad he did though! YAY!

I woke up this morning and saw “Gentlemans Intermission” thinking Oh cool, another Shaun post. It didn’t sink in until halfway through at which point all I can get out is OMG OMG! I was looking around for someone to squeal with. Tears streaming down my face and all I could think was “Is Kristine awake…omg someone wake her up so she can see this!” That was such a beautiful, soulful proposal and thank you Shaun for letting us all share in this special moment with you. You are truly lucky…what an amazing story to tell the kids one day.
