More Human Than Hollywood
Silva describes Richard as being amazingly considerate, respectful, loving, hilarious, and liberal – more so than any other man in her life. She could not hold back her girly enthusiasm – she was deeply in love! Richard makes a touching point of asking how to make Silva happy every single day. He also always makes a point of assuring her of her vital place in her life. She feels blessed and appreciated as any partner should.
Meant To Be
When you consider how meaningful and powerful the connection between these two people is, you would expect that they would marry quickly. Silva was more than happy to share how Richard approached her with the big question. This was not some loud and public gesture, but something intimate and meant only for her eyes and heart. It was in the south of France, in a grand hotel called St. Paul de Vence, that Richard approached Silva with the special request, and on her birthday! She tears up whenever she thinks of that day.
