THE HAPPY COUPLE

Darren

Ross Priory
  1. I’m not the sort of person you should put on speaker-phone.
  2. I thought growing older would take longer.
  3. Sometimes I feel quite intelligent. Other times I have to sing the ABCs in my head to remember which letter comes next.
  4. I love it when song lyrics totally apply to my current situation.
  5. If you tickle me, I am not responsible for your injuries.
  6. I may have a bad mouth, but I can do great things with it.
  7. I am old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway!
  8. I talk to the cats as if they actually understand what I’m saying.
  9. Admit it. Life would be so boring without me!
  10. Shelli makes me smile without even trying!

Shelli

Ross Priory
  1. I don’t have to watch the whole movie to cry at the sad part.
  2. I’ve grown more as a person in the last five years, than in the 33 that came before.
  3. You know those fleeting moments when everything is as it should be? I live for those.
  4. If it wasn’t for Darren, I would be a crazy cat lady.
  5. Nothing de-stresses me more than singing loudly.
  6. My favourite sound is my girls laughing together.
  7. I looked into his eyes, and I just knew.
  8. I can lose hours planning conversations in my head that I will never have.
  9. I like my men like I like my red wine: strong with undertones of fruitiness.
  10. I’m marrying my soul mate. It doesn’t get better than that.
