My life isn’t all stress and depression. About six years ago I met the man of my dreams. I mean I stumbled over my words, blushed every time I saw him, and could hardly look him in the eyes. I never would have thought that I would eventually get to marry this man.
I pursued him, and we ended up being the best of friends. That whole cheesy Jerry Maguire line “You complete me”, that’s us. He makes my life worth living. Just thinking of him makes me smile. I love when he’s around. He is a true gentleman. Loves to open doors for me-the whole nine yards.
My favorite story is the way he proposed to me. I had a horrible day at work on August 1st of 2008. I actually got into a verbal argument with a customer, who I will not name, but will never forget. And on August 2nd I came home to my boyfriend sitting awkwardly in the middle of the couch. He told me that he had something for me in the bedroom and had to close the door, because the cats kept bothering it. I immediately thought “Awe, he got me flowers”. As I walked into my room there were rose petals that he had shaped into a heart and a blue velvet box at the top of the heart. I turned around to go grab my camera. I had never seen anything so sweet. As I did he said to open the box. I was still oblivious to the upcoming proposal. Then we walked around the bed and I opened the box. Inside there was a glass slipper. On the slipper he had “I am but a prince, but I’d feel like a king if you’d be my wife” etched into it. I had only been done reading to the king point when he said “Hun,” and I turned to him. He was on his knee and asked me to be his wife. I think I cried for about 5 mins before I even remembered to say yes. It was beautiful.
A year of wonderful stressful planning later and I had the best day of my life. My wedding. We were married on August 7, 2009 and I couldn’t have planned a better day. Everything went according to plan. He even surprised me with a show stopping serenade of “your everything” by Keith Urban. I cried and everyone gave him a standing ovation. It was amazing. Truly a day I will never forget.
Till next time….BE GOOD. BE TRUE. BE REAL. ❤
