You met in the Maldives. You were there for your best mate's wedding. It wasn't your ideal destination: it being an island and you afraid of the ocean. When you saw her, gearing up to lead a group of scuba divers, her wetsuit clinging to her perfect form, her hair wavy and bleached by the sun, you thought you'd seen a mermaid (those tropical cocktails!)
You "ran into her" at the hotel bar that night, offered to buy her a drink. She asked if you dived. You lied and said it was something you'd always wanted to do. And so you arranged to meet her on the beach at sunrise the next morning.
A decade later she still makes you brave. With her by your side, you've conquered all your fears, not that you had many, just five "inconsequential" ones: the ocean; flying; your bizarre fear of ants; spiders; and most importantly, your fear of giving your heart to another human being.
How apt that the ring you'll choose to celebrate your 10th anniversary has five deep blue sapphires set on a dynamic yellow gold split band. The colour of the stones reminds you of the Maldivian ocean at night... and walking along the beach with her, conquering that final fear and falling in love.
