| It was the last Friday in June, and John had corralled his friends into sharing spirits in his home town of Milford. I was convinced by my two good friends, Linda and Kim to meet at a location closer to them, which was also in Milford. So, the local hot spot was Stone Bridge, which is a restaurant/lounge with an outside patio, overlooking the town's historic landmark, a stone bridge. John was looking at me; I was sneaking a peek at John and before we knew it the two of us began talking. John started laying on the charm and flirting with me [I'm not normally easily swayed by charm]. However, in the end we promised to see each other again. So, that was the beginning to an initally resistant courtship, but quickly won over relationship. Before we realized what we were both getting into, we fell in love. Our love radiated innocence and trust which overshadowed our usual mature and cautious approach to dating.
First, we confessed to each other that our love was too strong for us to be apart. We then acknowledged our combined desires would build the most magnificent life togeter. Those two emotions took our relationship to an even greater level. It was mid-November when John told me that he planned to spend the rest of his life with me. He went on to announce that soon would come the day that he would properly ask me the big question with the hope that I would reply that I had the same feelings for him. I said to him that love, companionship and commitment could not be signified by a "right time", "proper way" or a "token of value", but that love was naturally engraved with sincere unselfish feelings, natural actions, and shared mutual beliefs. There was no question or contemplation for what would come next; we agreed to solidify our feelings for each other in the form of marriage. Our wedding is set for June this year!
