I remember this night 6 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 2015. We had been together for 1.5 months at this point. Mike was supposed to be at House of Blues to watch one of his favorite bands play. About 1 hour before midnight, he decided to do a grand romantic gesture and surprise me on the other side of town! He made it with 2 minutes to spare! Right before midnight! It was the single most romantic moment of my entire life! I had secretly wished that he would surprise me, but I knew that he had other plans that night. I remember being with my sister and friends and just imagining him running to me right before the clock struck midnight.
And then….. IT HAPPENED.
I saw him running to me and he just gave me the biggest hug and kiss. He told me he had this urge to just come be with me for New Year. He said it felt so right. He hit every possible stop light, backed up traffic, and at one point he thought he wouldn’t make it on time, but he never stopped having faith that the Universe would make it happen.
I knew he was the ONE 6 years later and I love him even more now! I never believed in the phrase “when you know, you know”. But with each other, we KNEW. After 1 date, he knew he wanted to marry me. After 3 dates, I knew he would be my husband. After 2 weeks, we said “I love You” (everyone thought we were insane!). After 4 months we moved in together. After 10 months we were engaged. And 2 days before our 1 year anniversary, we got married. It’s been the best 6 years of my entire life.
We have had ups and downs, of course, but our love and dedication to each other has always been at the forefront of our marriage and lives. I can’t wait to see what this New Year has in store for us.
I love you husband!!!
And for those of you out there that are wondering if true love really does exist….it fucking does. Have Faith, and go out and find it! It’s so worth it!
