At last, we are getting married!

We first met on Thanksgiving Day 2005 (November 24). We had no idea that would be the beginning of our own love story. The timing was just not right though. Over the years we would see each other at gatherings here and there at David’s (John’s best friend) house. I tried, really hard, to get John’s attention in 2010-2011 when I moved back to Florida and had John do some tattoo work on me, but he was completely oblivious to the fact that I was hitting on him. Again, timing was just not on our side. A few years would go by before we would see each other again for a very brief moment and then it would be a few more years before we would finally be ready for each other. After 12 years of knowing each other on a very surface level and seeing each other briefly through mutual friends, David and John stopped by my parent’s house Thanksgiving night 2017. We hadn’t seen each other in years. I had just recently broken off a 6 year relationship and John had been single for a few years, so this time, we finally had our chance! I felt like a little school girl, excited to see him, butterflies and everything. I reached out to him after he left, I was taking this chance that I may never have again. We spent the next few days getting to know each other on a more personal level and after the holidays, I realized I could never let John go. I loved him, loved him like I have loved no other, loved him on a level and with a deepness I had never experienced. Over the years, times have been dark but we have conquered everything that has come our way TOGETHER, we have not let any of it tear us apart and we are stronger because of it and we know we can face anything ahead of us. Together, we are better!!
