Congrats and cool replies, Kevin 🙂
The desert island one made me chuckle because I’d choose my partner too, but… it’s sort of selfish to do that because that means you’ve just made them stranded on a desert island too. The things we do for love 😉

Good point, but my sweetie would be just fine with that situation! ;-)))

Selfish, but better than being stuck with someone from the shipwreck you couldn’t stand. Perhaps the loved one wouldn’t mind being stranded, it would be better than sitting at home with no idea what had happened to you!
