I told her. I told her we were going to be married. It’s something I said shortly after getting to know her. I can't explain what in particular made me feel that way. I just knew. We met at a "Friendsgiving" on November 20, 2017. I was intimidated by Grace at first, but I realize now that there's nothing to be afraid of (...for the most part). She seemed to have life figured out but little did I know that she was just as lost as I was. Grace was just better at hiding it. Although our journey hasn't been the most smooth or straightforward, I'd like to believe it still always pointed to each other. Over the 8 years I've known Grace, I had to get to know her over and over again - but finally, after all this time, I can officially say I told her so. Everyone starts out as strangers, and we were no different. Now I can’t imagine my life without her. I thank God every day for bringing us together. I love and appreciate every moment spent with her and I'm beyond excited to see what new memories we'll share as a married couple. There is no one else I’d go on this journey with.
