Congratulations
This is an amazing story.
but honestly (and im probably about to kill the mood) I think the waiting until next year is a pretty good idea because as friar laurence says
Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Don't get me wrong I think this is a beautiful story and am happy for both of you! I just would hate to see someone rush into something and then possibly regret it later.
Please don't hate me! I mean no disrespect.
