For those who question my sanity or baulk at the age of my fiancee, I ask for a little tolerance and an open mind. There are always exceptions to common or accepted wisdom. My fiancee and I are fully aware of the complexities of a relationship with such an age gap, but I have full confidence in her maturity and my own.
Good luck to all of you, whatever your circumstances.
