MOMENT OF TRUTH
It was during a recent holiday without Ong that she had an epiphany. It dawned on her how important being married to him would be.
His proposal was her first, and it will be her first marriage.
Danker, who used to date radio presenters Daniel Ong and Don Richmond, said: "I thought to myself, would it matter a hundred years from now, if I could look back at my life, would it matter if I didn't marry Glenn?
"And then I thought, you know what, it would matter, because I love him, and it would be sad if I wasn't (married to him)."
Over the last few months, she had asked him bluntly several times, once even grabbing his shoulders and staring at him in the face: "Are you sure?"
"He was sure the last two times (he got married), and I need this to be a different level of sureness," she said.
While Danker has finally taken the plunge, she is focusing only on the year-end nuptials and nothing else.
She is not putting any thought into starting a family or setting a deadline for having a baby.
"It took me this long to finally get married, so it might take a long time for me to come around to the idea of having children," she said.
"But I'll never say never. As long as I can have kids, there is always a possibility. That's all I'll say."
Ong added jokingly: "If I could get pregnant, I'd get pregnant immediately (after the wedding)."
Basically, for the lovebirds, it is a matter of if it happens, it happens.
They are equally non-committal about moving into a matrimonial home, since they are "fine" with living in either of their studio apartments.
"We've been living at Glenn's place in Orchard (Road) for quite some time," Danker said.
"I don't think I'll get rid of my place (at Holland Village), and I think we'll continue living at his place."
Ong is sure about one thing: Danker is the one he wants to take any step with, whenever and whatever that may be.
"Throughout our relationship, the biggest lesson I've learnt is that a woman can really love someone for exactly who he is.
"Let's face it, I am not perfect, and despite my bad track record when it comes to marriage, she is still willing to take the chance and marry me.
"For that, I will be forever grateful."
