Almost 6 years ago, Bill and I were both on Match.Com. One miraculous day, we both were online, trying to get off of Match.Com, we were trying to find the phone number. All of a sudden, a picture of Bill showed up, and I think that I "POKED" at it. Bill was wearing a T-shirt that said, "Change the World", and I saw his beautiful smile. I was taken... by the logo on his shirt! It meant something to me. We emailed each other for 3 weeks, and then made the decision, that we had nothing to lose, and met each other half-way in Morgan Hill. As I walked towards him, he was sitting on a garden bench near the restaurant. I was stopped in my tracks. I remember thinking" so this is what a wonderful man looks like". I knew instantly, that I would love him. The day we met, was May 15, and our wedding vows with be exchanged on May 15 2021. As we say our vows, I will remember that moment in time, that our hearts met, for the 1st time.... and now we have a forever.

On my Birthday, over a year ago, Bill's daughter, and her Fiancé' (now husband) and my son and daughter, went to Sonoma, and rented an airbnb, to celebrate. We went wine tasting, and Bill arranged a wonderful evening at Mayo Vineyards food and wine tasting room. The following evening, we went out to dinner, at Glen Ellen Star, in Glen Ellen, and as we were lifting our glass of wine and celebrating, Bill reached down, into his sock and pulled out a box! he said Happy Birthday, this is looking forward to many more birthdays. I thought the beautiful ring, was a "birthday gift"! Then Bill's daughter, whispered to her dad and said "Dad you are supposed to say; will you marry me. When I heard those words, my dream came true. As we say our vows on May 15th, we will have our forever after.
