"When I wanted to settle down, I knew what and who I wanted. She had all the qualities I wanted in a woman, and when I met her, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Many people look at us as kids without knowledge of what we are doing, but we know who we are and what we want in life," the 28-year-old journalist said.
