Worth the wait!

Many moons ago (12 years to be exact) a handsome young lad named Marc walked into his comrades house and was awestruck by a picture on the ol' computer sitting upon the counter top. "Whom is this devine creature?" he inquired. "This here lady tis Ms. Alycia Verstraete, she lives not even a horse carriage ride away from you Mr. Petroff." responded Mrs. Stordal. Marc knew that one day he would marry this Alycia girl and sent her a facebook message right away.

Marc is my best friend, my one true love and I couldn't of asked for a better man. He supports me in every little thing I do. He takes care of me and when he holds me tight I just feel all the stress and worries slip away. I use to feel so unsure about marriage and the whole idea of being with one person for the rest of my life, but then something just clicked and I just knew without a doubt that he was the one. He is the one I want to share and tell everything to, he is the one I want to have new adventures with, the one that makes me happy and not just momentarily but every single day. Even if we have a shitty day and we fight, at the end of the day I'm happy I have him by my side. He makes me feel safe and heard and lucky. I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with him. I love you Marc!

Everything we have done as a couple has been at our own pace. We were friends first for about 6 months, we dated for 8 years before we moved in together, we didn't get engaged until we had been dating for 10 years and just as we were planning to speed things up a bit and have our wedding ,life came along and said 'hey why the rush'. So just like in the past we are taking our time and looking at three years from the year of our engagement to the year of the wedding. Just proving to us again that all good things come to those who wait! Ups and downs are inevitable in relationships and just life in general, but we have both come to realize that without those bumps in the road we would not have made it to where we are now. Everything happens for a reason and those reasons brought us to this moment right here and for us it was all worth it!!
