We met on this site actually, I'd been browsing on MD for about 8 months but never anything serious. The curious thing is the whole reason I contacted him is it said in big bold letter on his profile "I'm not looking for a relationship right now"
So I figured "Perfect! No pressure.... " Well we emailed a total of four times before I asked him to call me (I'm not big into cyber relationships) The first call lasted for three hours and as I realized my phone was about to go dead, I asked him out. We had our first date that very night. There were flutters on both sides, laughter, and a lot of talking. We ended the nite with me giving him a kiss on the cheek. He was so shy and obviously worried about doing the wrong thing that I knew I needed to help this along
... well now there's a wedding in two and a half months. OMG! two and half months! Man that's not long!
Anyhow the plan is to get married on Sept 14th. Small wedding... I think we're sending out a whopping 38 invitations. Our chapel site is in a replica plantation town in Murfreesboro,TN very "oooh!" and "ahhh" inspiring, but small. See the thing is I wanted simple... however I have this heirloom dress... all high-necked and covered in lace and pearls. It's beautiful but does not belong in a garden style wedding... or one where the dress code is casual. It is regal... I feel like a six year old playing dress up when I try it on.
The dress requires the affair to be a bit more formal. SO... to keep the ceremony feeling a little light and fairytale-ish. We are not having any adult attendants. We will have my son. as my ring bearer, His nephew as his ring bearer, and his niece as our flower girl. Her dress will be ivory and the boy's will have ivory vests and ties. Our colors (Yellow and green) will be seen in the flowers only.
My son loves him, the dogs love him, the cats don't care... he understands and accepts my eccentricities and he's just great! PLUS I get a great, bigger family of in laws to boot!
I've never been married before... I've come close, but something has always happened and now I know why. I always said I would only do it once and that would be permanent... all those "almosts" were to help me recognize when the real thing came along.
All this to say... Love CAN happen.... A lasting relationships IS possible...Happiness IS attainable... and it so WORTH the wait!
