Awesome story. I think we need to change someone's logon here from "dvdguy" to "monkeyboy". It seems to fit and it gives me an entire new mental image of your prince!
Here's our love story, in similar condensed reading style:
Dashingly handsome young man dates for 8 solid years, wanting only to marry and have children. Much heartache ensues. He reaches age 27, swears off women forever and walks in a rut so deep he cannot see over the top of it. Enter "the princess". She's a single mom, mother of a five year old. While visiting the babysitter (my sister-in-law) she sees a video of the dashingly-handsome-but-in-a-rut young man and hears angels sing. She goes home and makes two phone calls -- one, to the man she was dating. She broke it off. The other, to her mother to declare she has found her husband. The dashingly-handsome-young-man is setup about a week later. Three weeks later they are engaged, a few months later they are married, a nanosecond later they are pregnant, a decade later they have seven children...and still madly in love.
Who's next?
