A Valentine's Day Love Story
Even though Tom and Elizabeth met on a blind date, it was love at first sight. This couple hit it off from the first day.
But after dating a year the relationship was on the rocks because Elizabeth couldn't say those three little words.
Elizabeth was scared. A few years before her fiancé had left her at the altar. But after a short time apart, Elizabeth knew that Tom was Mr. Right and they kissed and made up.
Four months later, Tom popped the question and they tied the knot on Valentine's Day.
It's been 60 years since Tom and Elizabeth got hitched and their marriage has been a match made in heaven.
I loved your post, it was so interesting to know these love idioms not only if you are going to be with a person who speaks English, but to increase our vocabulary and be able to defend ourselves in any situation that has to do with real life.
ResponderEliminarI really like this post. I knew some of the idioms, but others were completely new for me. Moreover, I like the way you show us the idioms in context with the story.
