WEDDING

Dearest Sarah,

 

(Long story, short)

 

It’s hard to not believe that it was fate that brought me to you. I spent a lifetime looking for you in many different places and then, truth be told, I gave up. But when I least expected it, I found you!

 

In circumstances I couldn’t predict, and in ways, at the time, I would have wanted to be different, I was immediately drawn to you and had no idea how to woo you. I thought on my feet, and spider bitten legs, on how I could insert myself in to your world. I defaulted to my typical arrogance of conversational topic only to find that quickly dissipated when I realised that your attractiveness was not limited to your physical beauty; you took me back with your amazing mind, infectious personality and life experiences that impressed me and completely blew me away. I hadn’t just met my equal - my equal challenged me like I would them. To be honest - what you are I’ve always wanted but more so and, truth be told, completely out of my league (or is that union?). Rugby etc 

 

It would be a while before I could convince you that I was genuinely interested. Eventually I got the courage to take you on what would become a dinner with no food and a strip show with no women. Your humour and mine became one and I felt I was spending time with the individual and the best of mates that I wanted to spend the rest of my time in this universe getting to know, having fun with and making that beautiful smile occur as often as my comedic talent would allow (deliberate or otherwise).

 

I recall being worried at 6 years old and confiding in my mum that I thought my girlfriend may not be nearby and is not in my beloved country. My Mum reassured me that I would meet her but I was kinda right. She was born here but lived elsewhere (I guessed France at the time and had no idea that Indonesia existed). After 37 years I felt my Mum got it wrong and I eventually resigned myself to a happy life of just being half of me. Then there was you. Finally I had met a beautiful girl called Sarah and I became the complete me. Your influence saw me grow from boy to man.

 

Im not one to commit half-heartedly or to compromise on core values that jeopardise my happiness and that of others. I am so incredibly happy to have met the beautiful Sarah Jane Reeves who not only gets me but I understand too. She’s the most amazing woman I’ve ever met and the only person I’d ever trust my life or anyone else’s with.

 

She’s changed me radically for all the right reasons and has cracked open the real person inside this hard nutshell. I’ll be forever grateful for finally having someone make me so happy and will never forget the important role you play in allowing me to be me. My daily ambition is to make you as happy as you’ve made me. You make me so incredibly joyful, content, positive and willing to be more adventurous. 

 

We have a lifetime to brief each other on and another lifetime to share. That really excites me. All the stories I share are just to bring you up to speed on where I’ve been and what I had to endure to finally meet you. And Yes, it’s been pretty crazy! 

 

At this point, it should be pretty obvious where my heart and my head is.... you’ll never know, if you never never go..... I want to explore what I thought was my forever never, never.... you’re different in every sense! And.... for all this time, where the bloody hell were you?! 

 

Spunky, can I please share your precious journey in this world and will you please marry me? Sorry for yet another short story being long!
