We’re getting married!

We met when I was 16 and he was 17, we were not a traditional love story but it was ours. We met online through an app that was big at the time for our generation. Since then we were best friends, always connected somehow throughout the years. We ‘dated’ multiple times while we were young but it was long distance and something always got in our way. I had just about given up on hope and finding someone my sophomore year of college. We hadn’t talked in awhile due to breaking up our second time then him getting deployed. Then my junior year after going through a breakup I prayed and said “Lord, it’s in your hands. I’m not searching, i’m not pleading or begging. I’m simply saying that the man you want in my life will find me by your grace.” And sure enough not 2 hours later I had found a facebook message from 3 days prior, Sean was wanting to connect and catch up. I took it as my sign from God telling me to give it my last all. Sure enough Sean took his leave for his birthday to come meet me after all those years. It was like we had known each other our entire lives. It was special and I felt like not a minute had gone by that I didn’t feel butterflies in my stomach. I knew this time was different, that if it didn’t work this time it never would. But it did work out, it was nothing I had ever felt before. He left to head back to kansas, not even a month later I paid my trip to California to meet his family and came back engaged. It was the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’d to it a thousand times again to have this man for the rest of my life.
