I had a job, an appartment, loads of hippie friends and was never going to get married. I walked into a little mom and pop restraunt down the street from where I lived he was the only person eating - the place wasn't big as a minute - maybe 8-10 tables - so I walked around pretending to try to find a place to sit - thought he was NEVER going to get the hint when he finally offered to let me sit with him. We dated four months, he was going back to school and several of the people I wanted to be in our wedding were unavailable so I got mad and said we'd get married before he went to school - we had 2 weeks to plan our wedding - a very hippie wedding on the lawn beside of the church building I attended - it was one of the most beautiful wedding ever - perfect all the way around - that was 39 years ago this coming June - he is still my best friend, he makes me laugh and feel secure when nothing else does - and he spoils me rotten - I can't imagine life without him. God truly blessed me the day I picked him up in that place. :)
