Gunnar and I knew of each other in high school, but had never actually met. A few years later, there was a night he saw me and kept staring. He wanted to get to know me. I was sitting alone and he made his way over to approach me. I will never forget the butterflies in my stomach and the way he made my heart melt instantly. That first interaction was all it took to know I needed more. For the first few months I found any excuse to see him. We became best friends and were irseprable. Never in a million years did I think I would find someone so utterly and completely perfect for me. That in itself scared me, I thought it was too good to be true. So, after a trip to visit him while he was working out of town, I tried to break off the romance we had. I was thinking he would not want the baggage I already carried. To my surprise, he told me it was exactly what he wanted and he helped me unpack. He put my worries to rest. Over the years we have faced trials and tribulations. We have grown together and learned so much, about ourselves and about one another. He showed me that in all the world, there is no heart for me like his. I have shown him that in all the world, there is no love for him like mine. It is a connection neither of us can explain. We are the harmony of each other’s heartbeat. We are both so excited to finally be married, and to love, and hold one another for the rest of our lives.
