“Ready for our Golden Commitment”

The day before my 40th birthday, I styled my client's hair for her wedding on St. Patrick’s Day. I was given the opportunity to attend her wedding, which today I know was a blessing. I sat alone taking pictures and recording when a young man approached me, asking if the empty seat was taken. We sat together and began to chat; I was struck by how much of a gentleman he is. He offered me his phone to take pictures when mine died. I realized later this would ensure he would get my number in order to send me the pictures. - LOL As I was heading out, we crossed paths and talked for a while longer, exchanged numbers, and he walked me to my car. After that day, we talked over the phone and went on dates almost every day. One day, I asked him, “What made you approach me?” "I saw you walk across the room and I loved your style and how you carried yourself. I asked Jeff who you were and he said you were the hair stylist." Jay said. "God told me 'That's the woman you asked/prayed to me for... she’s right there, you better go get her!'" I asked, "What type of woman did you ask God for?" Jay replied, “I asked for a woman who had been through some things before.” "Why?" “Because she will appreciate real love.” At that moment I knew Jay was the one and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Jay also wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and he proposed on Thanksgiving day!

Honey, I’m usually not a man of many words because I believe that actions speak volumes. Besides, if I were able to define my love for you, then it wouldn’t be as special to you as it is for me. My love for you is indescribable. I asked God for a woman who has been through some things. A woman that doesn’t let the past paint her future and is not afraid to love again. And when I tell you God showed out! He sent me someone with a heart of gold, someone who’s passionate, reliable, and just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. He said “Here you go, Jay. She’s a little mouthy, but she’s sweet as honey.” Now all I have to do is take that pain away from you and show you what a real man is supposed to do. I love you Honey. Jay, March 17th, the day before my 40th Birthday will forever be a day that I cherish for the rest of my life. I met the man of my dreams. Jay, you make me feel so loved. The chemistry that I feel between us is electric and everlasting. Since day one, you have made me a priority, you consider my feelings, you are a positive influence over my son and you have given me everything that I can imagine without even asking for it. The day I fell in love with you was the day I asked you “What made you come over to talk to me?” and you replied, “Because God told me, there’s your woman over there that you asked for.” I was all yours from that day on. I’m like… this dude got game LOL. Babe, do you know what my prayer was before we met? I asked God to heel my heart and to remove everything and anyone that did not have my best interest at heart and to prepare me for the man that he made just for me and to allow me to recognize him when he felt like I was ready to receive love and he sent me you. A gentleman, a leader, a provider, a lover, and my new best friend. I promise, I’m going to love you the way God says a woman should love her husband because I know that he designed me only for you. I love you Jay.
