For better or worse. In sickness and in health. Whether these old-school values make it into Jess Quinn and her new fiancé Todd Stanford’s vows hasn’t been decided. However, they’re rules the couple already live by.
By her own admission, the author, body-image advocate and Dancing With The Stars favourite hasn’t been her active, go-getting self in the two and a half years they’ve been together, battling injury and a newly diagnosed chronic condition.
But through it all, software developer Todd has quietly been an unwavering support – the first boyfriend Jess could truly be herself with, after having her leg amputated as part of her fight against bone cancer when she was just nine.
So when the 33-year-old surprised her by proposing during her 30th birthday celebrations in Fiji, Jess had no hesitation in saying, “Yes, yes, yes!”
She tells Woman’s Day, “Todd’s amazing. He met me at one of my lowest points, but I’m starting to see the light at the end of the very painful tunnel. I never thought I’d find someone who I could be like I am around my family, crawling around without my leg on. I feel so relaxed with him.”
