We started out as friends. Young, flirtatious but even with the attraction we stayed as friends. Years later we connected and made the decison to become more than friends. I wished for this the first time we reconnected, I knew he would be mines. Through out the years we've got the chance to grow together, Saw new places, learned new things shared new experinces. Were theres good there is always a bad time but no bad time could keep our love away from each other. We've fought every obstacle we've endured "together". Marriage was always the goal so we made plans for our 8 year anniversary to get married. Due to the coronavirus all our plans were put on pause. Devastated, a friend found an officiant for us the night before our anniversary! So what did we do? we got dressed after our morning hike racing against the rain storm to make it to the officiants location to be married. We succeeded! The rain stopped, sun came out and we said "I do" at a small neighborhood park. No struggle we endured was stronger than our love. 2 souls are now 1 and we want to welcome this experience with you. Thank you for reading our short story. I could go on and on with details but we don't have enough to fit.
