爱情保鲜:订婚32年未结婚 never say never

George Brown and Glynis Johnstone have been madly in love since 1977.The Scottish couple got engaged 32-years-ago in 1980,and believe that if they had ever married they would have gone their separate ways by now.
乔治•布朗和格利尼斯•约翰斯通自1977年以来一直处在疯狂热恋中。32年前的1980年这对苏格兰恋人订婚了,他们相信如果他们曾经结婚了现在可能已经各走各路了。

Instead George, 58, and Glynis, 55 who have two children Pamela, 23, and Alexandra, 17, are still happily dating and can’t wait to retire together.
相反,58岁的乔治和55岁格利尼斯, 有2个孩子,23岁的Pamela和17 岁的Alexandra,他们仍然幸福地约会,迫不及待地要一起退休。

Glynis said: 'It hasn't really bothered us that we have never married. 'There have been occasions where I’ve thought to myself that I’d like to finally be married, but to be honest more important stuff has always turned up.
格利尼斯说:“我们从来没有结婚这这件事并没有真正困扰我们。某些时候我心想我最终还是要结婚的,但实话实说,总是有更重要的东西出现。

'People keep asking me when I’m going to get married, but we must be doing something right as we’re still together.
“人们一直在问我什么时候结婚,但当我们仍然在一起时,我们必须要做正确的事情。”

'We’ve lasted much longer than most marriages, so it’s probably the fact we’ve not got done it that means we’re still here now.
“我们比大多数的婚姻持续了更长的时间,所以可能是我们还没有结婚意味着我们现在还在一起。”

George proposed to Glynis in May 1980. But before buying Glynis an engagement ring he nearly blew it all on an expensive carpet. He said: 'I got made redundant in 1980 and I had all this money to spend, so I thought why not buy her a ring - but first things first, I bought a new carpet for us.
乔治在1980年5月向格利尼斯求婚。但在此之前购买格利尼斯的订婚戒指,他差点因为昂贵的地毯把戒指的事搞砸了。他说:“我在1980年失业了,我只有这么些钱,所以我想为什么不给她买一个戒指呢——但首要的事情,我为我们买了一块新地毯。”

'I can still clearly remember the night I proposed. I was very nervous, but I’d had a few sherbets, so I suppose I was fine.
“我还清楚地记得我求婚的那个晚上。当时我很紧张,但我有几个冰冻果子露,所以我想我还好。”

'The place was absolutely packed, they stopped the music and I got down on one knee and she said yes.'
“那个场所绝对装饰了,他们停止了音乐,我单膝跪地,她答应了。”
