Not shortly after my first visit to the camp I met my now fiancé, Jonathon, who is head of security at the campsite. Due to the expectations I had constructed for myself, (or rather lack of expectations) I viewed our initial encounters as friendly, fun and a bit flirtatious. But, it did not take long at all for me to realize that his intentions (and I found mine as well) were far more romantic and quite serious than I first thought.
Jonathon is straight forward, as I am told Irishmen often are when it comes to matters of the heart. This, I appreciate heavily. I hate playing games and with Jonathon there was little to no question at the start that he was interested in pursuing things for the long-run. A woman in a shop told me once, “You always know where you stand with Irish men,” and that is exactly how it is with Jonathon. He wasted no time in telling me what he thought of me and what his intentions were and I surprised myself in finding that mine were in line with his. And so we became engaged, with Jonathon proposing at Occupy Cork’s General Assembly, becoming the first couple to meet and be engaged in the global Occupy movement (as far as we know).
She does realise 99 per cent of marriages end in bitterness and recriminations?
