I didn't get married until I was 43. I absolutely believe in deadlines, but not for marriages because it really is the most important decision you will make and rushing it seems silly. I always knew someone like Brett was out there for me. Someone with an uncanny sense of humor who nails the combination of masculinity and playfulness. Someone who knows who he is and has a character that literally everyone I know admires and respects.
