A boat stuck in a bottle

This is our story... utterly lost is how I would describe myself in the vast world of dating. having given up the idea of finding someone who would truly love me was preposterous. so, there I am at this birthday party for a friend of a friend. Tyler is the boyfriend of the birthday girl. My first words to him were Tyler can you put my phone in your pocket, I’m getting in the pool and I don't want it wet. Fast forward a few weeks later, there we are at David's Bridal and he is there again with his girlfriend, I come out in this black dress, his jaw dropped he said nothing. we went on about our lives. a few months go by we are chatting as friends no thought of him leaving her or anything of that nature, again reminding you I had given up dating. she breaks up with him, telling him he and I could no longer be friends. well, I don’t listen very well. so, there we were hanging out having a good time when he kissed me. out of the blue unexpectedly he kissed me. I told him I didn’t want to ruin his life and yet here I am marrying my true best friend. the third day he took me to his church where I met his entire family, a week later his grandmother had asked where his girlfriend was. we had made the decision to not tell anyone we were dating, I simply could not handle another failed relationship if this ended. 9/22/2018 the day we decided we would be a couple. I hid this relationship for three months. never mentioned to my family I was dating him. it was November when I finally introduced him to my family. I knew then that this man would be the man who would stick around. I was a boat stuck in a bottle waiting to be set free. He is my ocean. together we will set sail and have the journey of a lifetime. I am glad you all will join us on October 17th two thousand and twenty when our ship sets sail.
