Forever and ever

I love you, forever and ever. ❤️ I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I was a little girl. I would wish and hope for my dream guy, would write letters to him, hoping that wherever he was, he could hear me. That he could find me. And he did, just about a decade later. I remember that warm Monday, meeting you at a coffee shop. We were friends before this, but of course, this was different. I brought my Beauty and the Beast purse and you liked that. We were nervous, hands clammy, and we talked about that Beauty and the Beast purse nearly the entire time. Tension was high; we didn’t want to mess this up. Eventually, we fell into a rhythm. We had a lot in common, and just enough not in common that we were each fascinating to one another. About an hour into coffee, you had to leave for class. We decided to see each other again, smiles lopsided and cheeks red. You were so handsome, so charming, so kind. I was so happy that you wanted to see me again. My smile didn’t leave for days to come. I was walking to the library to do some studying when I asked for a sign. Any sign. Was this true? Was I pursuing the right person? It was quiet for a moment before a ladybug landed gently on the tip of my right pinky finger. I stopped in my tracks, stared at it. And that’s when I knew. I just knew. I felt crazy, surely, to know so fast, but I just had that feeling. It had to be you. And it is. Jared, I have been ready to say “yes” to you since that first coffee date. I’m so lucky that I get to spend this life with you. Dreams really do come true. 🌹💍 - Brittney
