We got engaged the first time after only dating for two months... I know seems a little rushed. But, we both new that their was something once-in-a-lifetime between us. We were living in New York at this time and didn't have the option of even a civil union. So, we settled on a long-term engagement. Then, a year and half ago, we moved to CT. We we discovered they had passed a same-sex marriage law, Emma immediately fell to the ground on one knee and proposed. It was an easy choice to say yes (again).
