After a conversation (the one we’ve been having since we met) it was decided–we are going to get married. Here’s our story.
Chris and I met in a parking lot–neighbors for a time. Our conversation started over trash and we became friends. We grew to know and appreciate each other on a concrete stoop. Soon we began exploring thoughts through musical notes and connections. We fell in love under stars in the magic light of dawn. We’ve found disruption and turbulence in the change of knowing each other—of loving each other. We also found a deep reservoir of feeling. But always, through conversation and the lens of love, we’ve overcome obstacles and seized opportunities to be better for each other.
We are destined, but not star-crossed. This is the lifetime we get it right. Our souls know each other and sought the other out like magnets. This is how we keep it together in the face of our own human folly. If not for Us the singular I could perhaps lose faith, but as a part of Us we never will.
And so now, we begin planning an event to mark the passage from I to Us through the words “I do.”
