I fell for Paulo a few years ago while working together in the land down under (Australia). It wasn’t long before I was head over heels. We spent a lot of time together and got along wonderfully. After traveling some parts of the world together I knew he was the one… And I’m pretty sure he knew I was the one because, one night while reminiscing about our journey together, he popped the question! The following year we got hitched, or in other words, we tied the knot !

How would you use these idioms in your own context? Are you head over heels? Have you already tied the knot? Practice below in the comment section.
