Larsyn's Vew: I can't even begin to tell you how many times Bradley and I have discussed the hand of fate that must have come into play for us to meet. A man from Michigan in the Army and approaching a turning point in his life, and me a quite fourth grade teacher, who, after several terrible dates, had sworn off talking to any military men. It was Tuesday, October 4th after work when the world decided that our lives were better intertwined, and we haven't looked back since. After work, in the middle of the week, sitting on my living room couch we spent hours talking and laughing and opening up. We discussed everything from our childhoods to our faults to our dreams and food and family. The clock was well past 11pm when we finally stopped and confirmed that it was late and he should probably get going. I can't say if it was love at first sight, but it was certainly the start of something that I've felt every minute since then. The feeling of closeness, warmth, enchantment, and understanding that was planted that day and has grown into something more than either of us. Bradley's View: She walked me to the door and all I could think was how beautiful she was and how a day that had started off as nothing special ended as the start of something that I had never even dreamed was possible. I had made a promise to myself to not kiss her on the first date so that she would know I wanted a serious relationship, but Larsyn had other plans. She looked up at me at the door and told me, "Are you going to kiss me or not?". I leaned in and gave her just a peck, probably the worst one in existence, so bad its a miracle she ever called me back. But don't worry, I'm more than content spending the rest of my life giving this woman kisses that will make up for it. I couldn't have ever asked for a better woman to spend the rest of my life with. She supports me, encourages me, and loves me in a way that makes me a better person every single day. I cannot wait to call her my wife.
