MG and I have purchased our tickets for our honeymoon train trip and now are working on the smaller items. We don't want to have an extravagant ceremony since this is the second for each of us - just a small one with close friends and family. I have my dress and can't do the other things until it gets closer.
We have know each other a year now and we are still so happy together. I am amazed that we found each other - it was a God thing. I hated the dating scene when I was young, worse when you are older. The internet dating scene is awful, you really have to be careful. I met some good ones and some bad ones, then one day decided I had enough of it all. I was shutting down my dating accounts online and suddenly I received an email from MG wanting to meet me. I hesitated because of all the disappointments but God told me to give it one more try. I am so glad I did. I met the most wonderful man and perfect for me. Later I found out that MG had experienced similar dating disappointments online and was giving up when he saw my photo on the site he used. So random, it could've gone either way, but - well, the rest is history.
Everyday I love him more and more. I was recently in the hospital again for a minor stomach thing and there he was again, holding my head and taking care of me. And on Mother's Day night we go off to the hospital. He takes the day off to find out what happened but it was just a stomach bug. But he was there for me and that makes all the difference in a relationship.
We attend AA meeting together and I attend Al-Anon. Being in that fellowship helps both of us stay on the road to serenity and peace. We are focused on fun, enjoying life and not dwelling on negative. We don't have to get married, we both have been there and done that but we want that commitment to each other in front of God and our friends and family. The day will be here before we know it. The year is speeding by.
