Sometimes they say that all the love stories seem to be the same. But in my opinion every love story is peculiar in its own way. I'd like to share with you the story of my cousin Susan.

When she was younger she used to travel a lot. So you can easily guess that she met her present husband Mark on a train. There was nobody else in the compartment, there was nothing to do and they began to talk. My cousin admits that it wasn't love at first sight, though she thought he was gorgeous from the very beginning. They chatted and when she got off he helped her with her luggage. Unfortunately they were too shy to ask each other for their telephone numbers even though they understood that they fancied each other.

But fate brought them together again. A few months later they met at a party and recognized each other immediately. The attraction was magnetic and they didn't want to lose their second chance.

My cousin enjoys looking back on the time when she dated him. They went out together a lot, he chatted her up and they rang each other up practically every day. Then there was their first kiss which she says she will never forget. But it didn't take them a lot of time to understand that they fell in love with each other.

After some time they made a very important decision – they made up their mind to move in. But before that they met each other's parents. One evening when they all were together Mark proposed to Susan. She accepted the proposal, they became engaged and he gave her a ring. Their parents approved of the choice of their children and gave them their consent. So Mark and Susan became a fiancé and fiancée.

After a year or so they have saved enough money to get married. Some people have a religious ceremony with a priest, but Mark and Susan decided on a civil ceremony in a registry office. On the day of the wedding the bride and the bridegroom were both very nervous, probably no less than the best man and the bride's maid.

Afterwards, at the reception, the speeches were made and the guests drank a toast to the happy couple, who eventually left for a honeymoon in Greece.
