We had been dating for about a month, although we had been friends for many months before that. I was sitting on his stoop with my friend Kathy from work, on a hot August early evening, watching T wash his battered but beloved VW bug. \u00a0He was so handsome and I was head over heels, beyond the moon in love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, I&#8217;m going to marry that guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How do you know that?&#8221; she replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just know. Every bit of me loves him. It&#8217;s something in my heart that tells me this man is the prince I&#8217;ve dreamed of since I was a little girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so it is that my own fairy tale has come true. You just have to trust your instincts when your heart speak to you. I knew then that my life with T, though I couldn&#8217;t see the road ahead, would always be one filled with love, respect, fun, caring, adventure. I also knew that this man<!--more--> would always be the strong, solid love that would see us through the dark times that factor into a lifetime together.<\/p>\n<p>When I look at this picture of us on our wedding day, I see the hopes and dreams we had for the future. The happy ending is unfolding every day. Side-by-side, hands clasped, hearts entwined, T and I are ready for the new adventures in Mark and Vicky&#8217;s Fun Life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"al2fb_like_button\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=394640850589002\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));\n<\/script>\n<fb:like href=\"https:\/\/lifelessonsfromoz.com\/blog\/come-live-with-me-and-be-my-love\/\" layout=\"standard\" show_faces=\"true\" share=\"false\" width=\"450\" action=\"like\" font=\"arial\" colorscheme=\"light\" ref=\"AL2FB\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come live me and be my love, the best is yet to be.
