As some select privileged individuals may already know (you know who you are you lucky sods), I have a secret I have kept from you all for a long time. And now something very important has happened to do with this, I believe you should all know now :D
As you may know, I have gotten to know many people on this site, most closely those being SkyDX and Senseito7. Both of you guys have been great friends to me through a lot of things, so I am eternally thankful for that. However, in addition I have gotten to know Senseito's family very well as well. Mainly, that being his younger sister, whom I shan't name.
Wee started talking about the end of 2010, and from there got to know each other very well. So well infact, that wee really hit it off big time, talking all the time wee could, sending messages and having an awesome time together. Both of us are very shy in certain aspects, so wee kept talking and having 'moments' here and there as wee grew to fall for one another. On March 27th, at 4:01AM I confessed how I felt to her, that I had fallen head-over-heels as it were for her. To my complete euphoria, she reciprocated my feelings unto her.
Since then, wee've been girlfriend and boyfriend for nigh on 16 months, going from strength to strength. In July 2011, wee met in real life for the first time.
Since Sensei (and ofc his sister, my girlfriend) live in Spain, every time I've seen her I've had to fly out to Spain to do so. I spent 2 weeks with her the first time, which was an amazing time. Which ofc means I've also met sensei too! After having to return to the UK (I am studying at university, so couldn't stay), I've gone out to see her as many times as I could, making more memories, but primarily learning about one another through long-distance communication. Learning about and loving each other for who wee are.
In early 2012, wee both made a big life-changing decision. The distance was very difficult for the both of us, so wee decided to live together, as I had to choose around then where I will be living for my next university year.
Wee made preparations and budgets together for living together, and in the meantime she came to see me in the UK for the first time, for a week :3 Wee stayed in my uni flat, and explored the area in preparation for moving there together.
Wee missed each other so much when she had to leave I gathered together money and donations as quickly as i possibly to could to fly out and see her again for one more week on an impromptu trip back to Spain. Most of that time on my 3rd trip was spent studying and working on uni work, and enjoyed purely for the fact I got to spend even more time with her.
Wee made wallpapers for each other for every month wee have been together, in Photoshop, to express how wee feel about each other even through the distance.
Then followed the most difficult 4 months of our relationship, with strains showing through distance, poor internet connections and mistakes being made. In spite of this, wee have soldiered on and as i write this I am in Spain again :D
Happier than ever, wee have spent another week together, having fun and going places together. Except this time, today, wee are flying back to the UK together, and will be living with each other from tomorrow onward, in our new place in Hull. On top of this, on the 27th of July I made a commitment to her for life. I proposed to her, and would you know, she said yes! So wee are to be married in the future, as well as moving in together.
The point of this thread was well, to thank EP for existing. Without any of you guys, I would have never met the love of my life, and my wife-to-be. As this website was the place that all of this stemmed from, you guys have a right to know what an impact this place has had on my life.

Special thanks go to:
Zinga - well without you this place would never have existed!
Senseito7 - Thank you for introducing me to your sister, my fiancee
SkyDX - Thanks for always being there, and being a great friend
lembas, trademark, eku, the IRC guys - for providing me with so many lols even though i don't get time to IRC anymore
funnybutrandom  - for introducing me to this website, and ofc being a good friend to me

Thank you everyone, for being here, even if you ticked me off. Without this place my life would be literally nothing like it is now.
