Truthfully,,,, we got married because we Had to. And, No!, not for that Had To reason. lol... We were living together, and I was raising his daughter from a previous marriage (her bio-mom had walked away). We wanted to buy a house and at that time the realtors (and banks, for that matter) wouldn't discuss it without us being married. We had a truly lovely wedding in the forest surrounded by family & friends. This year we will celebrate #35.
I chose to live with him because he gave me butterflies. No other man had done that for me. Right now, I haven't seen him for three weeks (I've been taking care of my mom) and am returning to him tomorrow. Just thinking of that gives me butterflies. I love that man.
