urt and I met over ten years ago in a restaurant I                                         worked at, and he and his friends used to frequent. Although it took him nearly a year to muster up the nerve to ask me out, he finally did...and the rest, as they say… is history.
I knew Kurt was “the one” from the first time we went out. It's not easy to explain, but it was in the way he held my hand that night; as we made our way into the restaurant, firmly in his. There was a familiarity about him; a relaxed rapport that he and I shared even in our first moments together. I could sense this guy had a heart of gold...and I wasn't wrong.
After a year of exclusively dating each other, Kurt asked me to marry him. With my great aunt Mary's wedding diamond, newly set in white gold, he got down on bended knee, in the living room of my small apartment, and promised to love me forever, if I would be his wife.
It is a rare thing indeed, to have not a solitary doubt when someone promises to love you forever... and in this safety I felt truly blessed.
Kurt has lived up to that promise and seen me through the most difficult of times. He has held my hand through illnesses, spent sleepless nights by my side in the hospital, put up with the plethora of moods that I can only hope hormones are responsible for! He has seen me looking my worst (the scary kind of worst that brings to mind an image of Alice Cooper with blonde hair) and despite that has made me feel loved every second since we met.
He is a rare and precious gift, and I am a better person for knowing him. His love is unconditional and without limits.  Marrying him was never a question. We love each other in a way I can't describe as anything but pure. We are best friends and enjoy each other’s company. We are partners in parenting to our three children. We are bonded through trauma, death, illness, laughter, experience, childbirth, stress, financial desperation, happiness, late night talks, aging, and life,
Our wedding has had to take a backseat to life's rollercoaster. It has always been a dream of mine to have a beautiful wedding and after 8 years of waiting for the right financial time, I have decided I will make this wedding happen. I will not wait, I will not compromise, I will not settle, but I also will not expect this dream to fall gently in my lap. I will work for it. I will pour my heart into it; I will reach high and prove that dreams need not be funded; only dreamed.
It is our sincere desire and hope that our story inspires others, especially if they find themselves dreaming of things that seem out of reach.
Nothing is impossible...ever.
