       The Proposal ;;

     I do not love gently, nor with half a heart. An easy love is not within my nature; I am not a man of easy nature. There is no halfhearted attempt to please you, there is only my utmost desire to adore you. I do not pretend that I might be worthy, or that I might deserve you. I make no promises of comfort or that marriage will be always happy. But there will always be love. Just give me the chance to be the man who spends his eternity with you. I have loved you for every day since I have known you. I have craved your touch, your smiles, your laughter – and I have spent too long apart from you. So now on bended knee, I do not take lightly the request I beg.

               Marry me Aislin.

Their love was not without its trouble, not without its heartache, not without its turbulence. Yet they persevered, they fought, sometimes each other, but when it mattered --- they always fought together. From the lowest points to the highest ones, each monarch had beside them a lover who not only understood them, but championed them. A force to be reckoned with the two stood together against all odds, against all tragedy and heartbreak. Until finally… They found joy.
