When I met Ted I knew there was something different about him. When we started dating and became serious, I knew this relationship was in a whole other league. And when I said yes when he asked me to marry him, I have never been more confident in a decision.
The last year has been amazing, it has been the stuff real life fairy tales are made of. I say real life because life is messy and imperfect. But I have found the man that no matter how messy life gets, is standing beside me, holding my hand, and loving me with everything he has. He has been my rock and my comfort through some really tough times. He has brought so much joy and so much laughter to my soul. He is not the man I prayed so long and hard for. He is far more than that. I love him far more than I ever thought was possible. Its more than a lustful, physical, butterfly in my stomach love, though I feel that too! Its a deep, incomprehensible lovethat is far more unconditional than I thought existed. It is amazing.
I am not disillusioned that marriage is easy. I don't think that we are perfect, and that we won't hit any bumps in the amazing road ahead. But I have found the person makes me want to work, to work it out. I have found the person I will fight for, and who I know without a doubt will fight for me.
I have found my real life Prince Charming, and am living my real life "Happily Ever After."
