Letitia Dean is not ordinarily given to rushing in where angels fear to tread, but when she met Jason Pethers through a friend three-and-a-half months ago, she knew she’d met the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
“It was pretty immediate, really,” recalls Letitia. “We ended up having a drink, then dinner, and Jason and I chatted all evening. We were the same age, we had a lot in common - and we were both available.”
The next day he called as he said he would, in time for lunch. And then there was dinner. And lunch and dinner after that. “There was a hotline going from my end to all my friends, as you do when you’ve met someone that you’re so mad about that you can't stop talking about them. But I never felt neurotic about Jason. There was a calmness right from the start.”
A month ago, he proposed. There was no candlelit meal, no Jason going down on one knee, but it was probably the most romantic day of Letitia’s life.
