How T and I Met

Last night, as T and I were rubbing our son's chest to relieve his congestion, T asked me a very interesting question: "Why do you want to marry me?"
I answered him without thinking: "Because I love you".
But then I really thought about it, and I began recounting our first meeting...

You could say we met on Facebook, since that is where our communication began. But as we got to know each other, we realized our paths had crossed long before the 'friend request'. We have quite a few friends and coworkers in common; I even discovered he had a picture of me from a party we both attended almost 6 months before we officially met.
And then the day came when we saw each other in person. My best friend (and now Maid of Honor) Lo had invited me to an inaugural meeting, and what do you know? T was speaking at that very same meeting! I am extremely attracted to men who are well spoken, and T's speech melted my heart. Because of his seat in the front, he did not notice me there until he was about to leave. As he headed for the door, our eyes met and, as the cliche goes, time slowed. He moved toward me and we pulled each other into a hug that made every other person in the room melt away. It was absolute magic.
So that's what I told him in response to "why do you want to marry me?" I told him that I had never felt magic with any other person, and I want to spend the rest of my life consumed in that magic that can only be God's love. Here's to Happily Ever After...
Happy Valentine's Day!
