Girlfriend got me a cheesecake after surgery but didn’t grab herself whipped cream. When I offered mine, she freaked out saying she’d be the whipped cream queen. So, I fibbed and said I disliked it. Fast forward to us being married, every time whipped cream’s around, she gets super excited to gobble it up. Totally worth the tiny fib!

That engagement ring? Not a real diamond. But I don’t care! It’s his first big purchase after his brain injury, and that makes it sparkle way brighter in my heart.

I picked a quirky nickname for my dating profile to start fresh. Now only my boyfriend and his family use it. I don’t love it, but hey, it stuck!
