Who are we anyway? And why Greece?

She is Maaike(32) and I am Anne(31), we met on the internet in 2006. After an exciting date, it soon was clear that we should be together and after a few months I was practically living with Maaike in her home in Lemmer. Early 2009, after some ups and downs we moved to Aldeboarn, a small village in the center of Friesland. In the 3 years we are together, we obiously already talked about marriage.

Maaike, a big fan of musicals, loves the musical and movie of 'Mamma Mia' and because of that she alsways had the idea: "If I ever get marries, I want it to be on a Greek island." It also helps that she's been on holiday to Greece a few times.
Before I met Maaike, I've never been there. But on our first real summervacation togethere, we went to the isle of Rhodos and I was sold right away. It's beautiful there, it's warm, the people are friendly and the seas blue. To be honest, I'd probably had the same feeling when it would be have some other coutry like Italy, but it wasn't, it was Greece.
So I also got rather enthusiastic by the idea of a Greek wedding and therefor we decided a few months ago: We're going to do it!

Only, there is a big but. I still have to ask here to marry me, if I don't there won't be a party!
