Abstract: | Katy Manning, 28, a sub editor from Stevenage, took advantage of the last leap year. She asked Stuart, 27, to marry her on 29 February 2004. "Stuart was in the year below me at school. I didn't really know him then, but we were introduced through friends after we'd both left. He was sweet, intelligent and attractive. We started seeing each other casually and gradually things got more serious.By NewYear's Eve 2003, we'd been together for nine years. It was the start of a new year and it felt like the right time to move on and make plansfor the future." |
