I've told the story before somewhere on BBFans (sorry if anyone has heard it before!), but yep, we were indeed engaged lol.
We're talking about 10 years ago now, when Steve was firmly in the closet. We met because we were both mormons (WERE, definitely not now - either of us!) and he asked me out. Of course you should always trust your first impression, and I did think he was gay - until he asked me out! I absolutely adored him, and put all the nagging doubts to the back of my mind (what a naive teenager I was...)
I actually found out for definite that Steve was gay BEFORE we got engaged (sounds so crazy now) but because at the time he couldn't be honest with himself or anyone else (our religion at the time totally condemned homosexuality), and because I loved him (still do!!!) if he was prepared to live a lie I was going to help him do it!!!
Of course about 3 months into the engagement I think we came to our senses. I was so pleased when Steve left the church and came out, cos it was amazing to see him truly be himself and be happy. Steve is one of the bestest mates a girl could have (altho we don't see anywhere near enough of each other these days!)
My other gay mates have never let it drop tho, and i'm just the girl that turns straight men gay - if they fancy a straight bloke they beg me to try and seduce him, hoping it will send him screaming the other way lol
I'll let the man himself fill in any gaps in the story!
P.S. Steve get in touch about my hen night, I'd love my first fiance to be guest of honour
