Beatrice

First Met

We met at a mutual friend's dinner party and spent the whole evening arguing about nothing in particular, neither of us willing to yield the last word.

First Date

It took the better part of a year and no small amount of pride, but we finally admitted the arguing was rather more fun together than apart.

Moved In

We chose a small house with a lemon tree in the garden, and discovered we'd rather bicker over breakfast than agree with anyone else.

The Proposal

One rainy evening, an unqualified declaration was finally spoken aloud, and answered before the sentence was even finished.

Forever

And here we are, trading our very last argument for one lasting vow, surrounded by all of you.
