Chantelle & Amir
Victoria, Dandenong North
Me and amir have been talking for years, we chatted on the net for around 3 years, I was never really interested in him in a romantic way, I just saw him as a really good friend who listened and cared for everything I said or my thoughts, we soon began talking more and I started to learn more about him. One night he called me giggling and being shy, i was quite shy myself but i soon came around. After a really bad day at work I needed some cheering up so I went online and asked him to come meet up with me (Ive known him 3 years, it was about time lol). I was scared about my appearance, as im not the skinniest girl you will meet. When I met up with him, I can say cupid hit me in the butt, he was so charming, innocent (smelt like he had smashed a whole bottle of perfume on himself). He took me to Brighton beach where we sat in darkness just with the twinkles of stars in sight, he talked to me about his family and where he’s from and what he wants from life. We hit it off. I remember placing my head on his chest to rest and listening to his heart going "duddddd dudddd uddd" really fast. I looked up at him and he placed his lips on mine. That’s where we had our first kiss. I will never forget it. Since that day we have pretty much been inseparable, always together, always loving each other
He went overseas to be with his family for 2 months as his dad was quite sick, unfortunately his dad passed away and it hurt me that I couldn’t be there to comfort him. After 2 months of being overseas he finally came home. I was at Tullamarine airport at 4am, tired waiting, people started to come out but no Amir. I was thinking "oh my god, maybe hes not coming back" then all of a sudden those doors open. I ran and jumped into his arms and kept cuddling and kissing him for around 3 hrs. On the drive home all I could do was smile
we decided to move in with each other the following April. It was awesome. My own privacy my own space. I was being responsible, after our first meal together amir kinda giggled at me and said, Chantelle will you marry me, under his breath, (hes always shy). I was like what!?!??! I said your out of your mind, a couple of weeks later we were celebrating our anniversary on how long we have been together and he offered to get me a coffee (those horrible polystyrene ones) after having the drink I noticed it was quite heavy. I had thoughts in my head like oooOOOOooo there has to be a ring in here!!! arghhh what do i do??, Anyways it turned out to be a 10C coin. Very funny. We were out and about around a couple months after and he told me he has talked to my dad and asked for permission. He then said "Chantelle will you marry me?" I said YESSSSS!!!! he gave me a promise ring that day. It has evolved into an engagement ring, all the family are thrilled and I cant wait to be his wife in October

Adam Schwarz and Hayley Hoffie
Queensland, Redbank Plains
In August 2004, Adam and I had been together for 8 months. A couple of friends of ours were in a band "Fallen Isis" and were playing in a pub in front of a hundred people, all their friends and family (however we only knew them!). After the band finished their playing, Adam got up on the stage and grabbed the microphone and said very quickly (obviously very nervous)"ladies and gentlemen can I please have your attention" he called me over with shaking hands, got down on one knee, in-front of a hundred people that we didn’t know, said "Hayley, I have loved from the day we first met and I would like to know….will you marry me?" I was 16 at the time and was about to faint myself, I replied very quietly "yes". No-body even knew that I had said yes until Adam jumped up, hugged me very tightly, spun me around and then kissed me!!! Then the manager in the pub walked over and told Adam that he could have all the free drinks he wanted for doing such a romantic thing…but Adam had to drive home, ha, ha, ha! And now almost 5 years later, we are getting married!!! I love him so much and I couldn’t possibly imagine spending my life with anyone else in the world. We have gone through so much together…cancer, 2 car crashes, finding out that we can’t have kids, it’s only right that we should get married… I guess you’d call it fate!
