My name is Nicole Tripp and my fiancee and I have been together for over 6 years now. 

Well, you see we met when I was seventeen and I fell head over heels in love with him.  We dated for a few months and then he ended it abruptly.  I never really got over Joe. I was heart broken and no matter who I thought I was in love with, no one compared to Joe.  Finally after years of both of us being in other relationships, we finally had our chance again.  We fell in love again right away and spent a wonderful year side by side and then the night before our "official" one year anniversary, he got on his knees and proposed!! It was literally a wish come true. 

All the years we had spent apart I had prayed that I could one day be with the love of my life again and my prayers were answered.  Well after being engaged now for two years and together for almost three, we have been through a lot recently. 

Joe and I parted ways.  I was struggling with depression and didn't even realize it and poor Joe was taking all the heat.  I was miserable, mean and selfish for about 6 months.  Joe tried to stick it out with me and tried to deal but he just couldn't take it any longer.  Just a few weeks before Christmas this year, Joe told me it was over.  I moved out and into my fathers house.   I was so heartbroken. I felt as though my life was over. 

Then after a month or so, Joe sat me down the night I thought I was getting the rest of my things out of our house.  He told me that he loved me more than anything and that he doesn't want to be without me.  He said I was the most important thing in his life and he thought he could walk away but he just couldn't be without me any longer or ever again.  We have since been doing great.  We both have a new found appreciation and respect for one another and it has only made our love stronger.  I had begun attending therapy and was put on anti-depressant medication before Joe and I reunited and he now attends therapy with me further proving his devotion to me and our relationship.  We are trying very hard to have a private beautiful wedding so that we can finally be husband and wife.
