How much is too much detail?

[ColorMePanda]

When I am explaining how we met and such for the development of our relationship, how much is too much detail?
I don't want to give them too little to judge from or too much to give them things to contradict. :-\

In my case I tried to be detailed and somewhat to the point and write as if I was telling someone about my relationship. My husband and I were penpals and I told how our relationship started and when we first met face to face how I felt how we felt when we had to leave each other. The heartache of being apart. Your partner needs to do the same. We just poured out heart and emotions on the paper.

That is what I planned to do.
Can I PM you and ask what you think of some of what I have wrote?

I made a list of bullet points, significant events etc, it was about an A4 page of text. This combined with photocopies of a selection of emails/letters, plane tickets, hotel reservations, tickets of places we visited and corresponding photos, was enough to prove the relationship was genuine. Our relationship went back nearly 6 years though, so a little from over the years was enough. I would imagine if the relationship was of a shorter duration then the amount of items would have been more over a shorter time period.
