The seafarer met the word girl and completely enchanted her by the end of the first perfect, poetic sentence. Long talks through to sunrises finally pushed a half way in person meeting "coffee date" at a serendipitously named "The Ripple." Every possible moment since has been intentionally, gratefully spent together. Sea voyages, global pandemics, state to state moves, big work changes, and setting up a home for ourselves and beloved Andreus have all been part of our momentous beginnings. Now, at last, it's time to be wed.
