holly_evolvingWe've been having the "well, if we ever did want to get married - which of course we don't" conversation for over a year. What sort of ceremony would it be, what would we do for a reception...yeah. Really sounds like the sort of thing the unwilling do, doesn't it?
So a couple of awesome friends got married in June. Steve and I went and had a wonderful time with a lot of wonderful people. We sang, we danced, we felt that amazing feeling that happens when a community of people is connected and you get to be a part of it and feel that connection.
On the drive home, we talked lots and lots about how wonderful it was, and played happy music, and were happily silly and mushy together.
And then he asked me to marry him.
At the time, I was doing around 80 mph on 84 heading home out of CT. So I did not get to freak out on the spot, because that would have killed us.
But I was freaking out. I still am. I said yes.
Despite everything that I've tried and failed to get right in the past, despite the difficulties that he and I have encountered (and overcome!). I said yes. Of course I said yes.
God yes. I love him, I love him, god yes I do want to marry him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I want the whole world to see us and know our love. He is my rock and my anchor and the sweet fragile man I will protect with my life. I will love him with every breath.
