Abigail had always been a beauty right from childhood and she had grown up fast to be an elegant, charming and intelligent young woman. Being the only daughter, her marriage meant a lot.

HER PEO: What was the first thing you disliked about him? Her: The very same thing i first liked about him; he was perfect. Oh, before we really met, i thought he was proud… I can’t remember the explanation. PEO: What’s your idea of Mr. Perfect? Her: Mr perfect is somebody who loves God, loves…
