We have a history that dates back to Jr. High. In fact, we still have the note Don wrote me before our middle school Valentine's dance, hoping I had fun even though he wouldn't be able to attend and signed "Love, Don." Years later, after graduating high school, we ended up in the same circle of friends. The more time we spent together, the closer we became. Before we knew it, I was telling my friend's I'd like to be more than just Don's friend, and there were rumors that he felt the same. We are two of the most awkward human beings, so you can only imagine how those first few "dates" went, watching movies on the couch. However, it was not long before words like "forever" and "love" began popping up more and more frequently in our conversations, our friends were calling us "basically married," and we knew that something Divine had carefully placed us in each other's lives. Don is like the other half of my soul that I didn't know was missing until we connected. We have grown together both emotionally and spiritually, learned so much over the years, and fueled each other's fire for personal growth. After 4 wonderful years together, we've both decided we'd like to make our commitment to each other official, to vow our love to one another eternally, and to share the celebration with our close friends and family. I cannot wait to spend a lifetime with this man, fulfilling his hopes and dreams, just as he has done mine.
