We Are Getting Married

She had finally gotten away from a toxic relationship that kept her trapped for ten years. He was tired of relationships that barely could be called short term. Both were soured on the idea of the perfect person and resigned themselves to just make a connection, a person whom they could talk to, no expectations beyond finding a friend. A message turned into a conversation, into a meeting. No expectations lead to unedited open communication, the start of a relationship with a bond built from shared memories and the freedom to be themselves. Both wanting to share in the other’s world, learning and growing together. Some people are tied to dates, leveling importance on when specific events happened. Chrissy and Blake don’t even remember the first time they met face to face let alone spoke. That doesn’t matter to them. All that matters is the journey they take together, the experiences and ideas they share, and the bond that neither expected to ever find. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step and they walk that path together. Each there for the other, for support, for encouragement, for love.
