I fell madly in love with Anton from the moment I met him. It was certainly love at first
sight. I knew at once that he was the love of my life but at first I was not sure if my love
was returned or not. Within a few days, however, he had told me that he
was desperately in love with me too. A couple of weeks later, we realized that we wanted
to make a commitment to each other and, when Anton asked me to marry him, I
immediately accepted his proposal. I'm sure we will always love each other
unconditionally. Neither of us would ever consider having an affair with someone else.
