We Have a Winner

I asked if you had a love story you’d like to tell,

and I was so happy when so many of you kindly

took the time to share your marvelous stories

 

Each one was incredible and so much fun to read! 

It was impossible to choose a favorite.

So I used the Random Generator to choose a winner.

So without further ado
The Once Upon a Time Giveaway winner is…

  

 The lovely Rita of  Rita’s Shabby Chic Rose.  

 If you haven’t been over to visit yet you need to go now

and spend some time at her delightful blog.

     Her wonderful love story is proof of the power of love!  

  Read on and be inspired!

Dearest Mimi, 

what an adorable and enticing theme for a post...

*** TrEs RoMAntIQuE *** My Hubby and I were set up by mutual friends when we both were at college. We both come from the same town and went to the same college some 100 km from home. As customary in Italy we dated for several years before getting engaged

and eight years after our first date we finally got married.

Sad note is 2 years after our daughter was born we got legally separated (never divorced though). But luckily enough there is also a bright side to this since our love proved to be very strong and firmly rooted and a few years later we got back together.

We love each other very much and he's helped me out a lot during the roughest and toughest times in life, last of which my mother's illness and death. Not only is he my true love but also my best friend and so am I to him.

It might not be the best love story of all but it's so very precious to me and I'm very thankful that your delightful post gave me the opportunity to count it, once again today, among my blessings and share it with you.

I've enjoyed very much reading all the romantic love stories that have been

shared so far and will come back again for more.

Hugs Rita
