You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you,” Victoria wrote.

This beautiful woman in a black linen dress…and I think, ‘Her.’ Honest to God, I thought, ‘There’s your wife, you’re going to marry her.’ And I thought, ‘That’s crazy.’ But I’m shooting eyes at her and she’s shooting eyes at me,” Stephen said during a Q&A.
