It's Finally Happening!!

Dot and I are in the process of planning our wedding!! I have been waiting patiently for three years for this moment. Now, my flight is actually booked to travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to marry this wonderful lady. I will fly out on May 30 and we will be married on June 6. Today, I spent part of my day off helping with the details and editing one of our favorite pictures so that we could use it as part of the wedding. We're also getting some ideas for our American ceremony even though that's at least another year away. Dot and I both like so many different things that it was hard to pick and choose among them.

And, I'm not getting any of the traditional pre-marital jitters. Dot and I have been together for three years and spent the better part of that time living together and totally sharing our lives with each other. We've seen each other at our best and worst. I don't see any of that changing after June 6. We'll just be legally married and eligible for the benefits granted by that connection. Our love, passion, romance, etc will all still be there. A simple piece of paper isn't going to change that.

To the beautiful woman about to become my wife I can only say thank you and I love you. Thank you for having me in your life. Thank you for blessing me with your presence. Thank you for being there for me when no one else is around. Most importantly, thank you for loving me as much as I love you.
