They were friendly as both were nice people, but were never really friends that year. Once they got into high school they talked about music and even had lunch at a Chinese restaurant together on some random occasion. The Boy went off to a nerd school and was gone from her life. Senior prom they ran into each other again and said "hi, hello, so good to see you!" Then went on about their lives. Years later, on a whim, The Girl found The Boy on classmates.com and sent him a note. They became email buddies on and off. One day, things changed and they started chatting on yahoo chat. Then they started talking on the phone. The Girl lived in TN, The Boy lived in CA. One day-- The Boy came to visit The Girl. They were clearly smitten from the get go.
The Girl went to visit The Boy a couple of times as well.
They were always sad to be apart. It didn't feel right. The last time The Girl visited The Boy he had a very special question for her. She said "YES!"
The Boy moved to TN to be with The Girl. They wanted to get married in NC at a very special place.
That ended up not working out so they decided to move the wedding to MS so everyone they loved could attend. On June 11th, 2005 The Girl kicked The Boy out of their hotel room and began a transformation of sorts.
She put on a special dress. And she took a ride in a fancy car to The Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum. It was a lovely rainy day.
The Boy was there waiting for her at the end of the make- shift aisle.
There, in front of friends and family, they pledged to be respectful, kind and true to each other for as long as they both lived. They laughed. They smiled. They were full of joy.
Their friend prounounced them man and wife then they sealed the deal with a smooch!
They danced and celebrated the night away surrounded by those who loved them dearly!
Dear Boy,
I know this life isn't always easy and the path we chose to take together isn't the smoothest but I'm damn glad to have you by my side! I love you dearly, completely and eternally. Happy 11 year anniversary. I look forward to seeing where we end up in another 11 years!
Love,
The Girl
