I have so much to say about my life.
I was asked by Jeff to marry him on New Year's Eve. Obviously I said YES. I love him deeply. He was so sweet when he asked. He was so nervous and wanted everything to be right. He wanted to go on a walk by the water at the restaurant we were having dinner but it was so cold so I said I didn't want to go outside which threw everything sideways for him. I almost missed his proposal....I had to ask him to repeat. He made me cry with happiness. He gave me the most beautiful engagement ring. I could not have picked a more elegant one if I picked it myself. We had a wonderful evening that night.
It has been so long since I have written and during this time off from writing we began to see about where and when to get married. Then friends told us about their daughter getting married in Hawaii and we decided that we would take the opportunity to go on vacation to Hawaii and be there for their wedding. Then while in the process of still looking for a location for our wedding and checking prices etc. we made the decision to just get married in Hawaii ourselves. We arranged the wedding ceremony online with a company based there and got a package of the minister, leis, photographer etc.
We just got back two weeks ago and it was an amazing vacation. BUT the wedding was perfect. For us it was the way to go. We were married on a beautiful beach with just our minister and photographer. They were both great. The day was sunny and perfect. We got up late and went to the pool for about 45 minutes. I went and got my hair fixed and then we went back to the room and got dressed for the wedding. We drove to the beach and they were waiting for us there. We got married with our toes in the sand and the sun shining bright. The minister said some wonderful statements for someone who doesn't know us. But they are true statements about love that applies to any of us. We had a blast getting some pictures on the beach after the ceremony. We then went to dinner at a restaurant on the beach in Waikiki at sunset. After we ate a delicious dinner of fish we walked out to the beach and watched fireworks being set off from a nearby hotel (were those fireworks for us? we thought so). How could it be any better than that. We couldn't stop smiling. We couldn't stop calling each other husband or wife.
We started this journey very private and ended the courtship like we started...private. Now we are married and it feels good to know that we will be there for each other to the end. I don't like saying "the end" because it scares me a lot.
I am just so happy to be Jeff's wife and he couldn't be a better life partner. I feel so fortunate that God placed him in my life when He did. God gave me what I wanted and needed in my life and I wasn't even looking. I didn't know I even needed Jeff until I met him. Love is great!
Peace.
