A Love That's Meant To Last

.....Then comes Marriage

We met at our work at The Drake Hotel, Chicago. I always used to try and catch Sharon's eye as she was busy at the Front Desk. I didn't know how to approach her, I was notoriously not shy but in her case I was beside myself-lol. Sharon decided not to wait any longer as our chemistry at work was unmistakable between us but unsaid. Thank God she did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a lonely stay for Sharon at the Arizona airport bar while waiting for her flight home when she decided to make the first move with a simple text message "How is the weather out there in Chicago??". I immediately responded to her "ice breaking" text which evolved into our first date a week or so later 02/17/18!!!! I was over joyed with finding out how much Sharon really liked me and how long she had been interested in me. I confessed the same to her, we laughed and shared our stories from our interactions at work - it was really something special and I could not wait for our next date!! Days/weeks rolled into months, our time together was the most important thing in my life - I loved her and wanted everyone to know. Sharon and I tried to keep things low key/professional at work for obvious reasons - VERY HARD at times-lol! Secretly I had moved in to Sharon's apartment - I loved my new family - our two fur babies Twinkie (Australian Terrier) and Snowbell (West Highland Terrier) took to me instantly - I was in heaven and knew early on that Sharon was The One for me!! On a beautiful night in East Dundee, IL, 01/10/19, I made it official, I proposed to Sharon's at a very nice Italian restaurant (Aliano's), the owner and I worked something out which proved perfect - Sharon was ecstatic!! I was nervous and a little awkward but looking into her big brown eyes calmed me - I love you Baby!!!!

For all the days along the way
