AJ and I first met when we were just young kids, 17 and 18. Our hearts connected as if we knew each other in a previous life. The connection was passionate, joyful, effortless, and real. Life, as it often does, took us on our separate paths for a while. During our time apart we both grew and changed into the people we were meant to be. When the time was right, our path crossed again. It felt as though no time has passed at all. The laughter came easily, the connection was stronger, and the love deeper. We both knew in our hearts that this was home. We just knew this was it! What was now once young love has grown into something much deeper. It's a love that is not just a word but action. It's a love where two people chose each other every day through the ups and downs. After being together for more than a decade, we stand side by side to make this love official. We are ready for our forever as two hearts that beat as one.
