I never saw myself married. I had my daughter at 16 and endured a very long physically abusive relationship.I never imagined a wedding gown or day..I only worried about living to see my daughter and family the next day. As I got older and my daughter grew, I just told myself that I would be alone for the rest of my life and actually became very content with that. And then in walked my fiance and turned my world upside down. My coworker was having a bacherlorette evening at a local establishment and last minute, I decided to go. I normally don't like clubs as I'm a book worm but something in me said hey whay not. Me and my best friend went and had a blast. I noticed this cute, attractive man and noticed he was looking at me too. My best friend noticed and motioned his group over to ours. He was funny, a great dancer and had a laugh that made me new feel at ease..a good old country boy you could say. I had no qualms about me being African American and hi being Caucasian, I just felt like I was the most comfortable ever just being in his presence for 2 hours. We exchanged information and immediately started texting and calling that night once we arrived home. Two years later here I am wonderfully in love and excited to share the news that he proposed on Christmas!! The icing on the cake..he asked my daughter's permission months ago and she told him "Of course!!" I cant believe how much my life has changed. I never saw myself married so we both are very excited for the new changes to come. Were doing a budget wedding of course but I'm sure as long as its me, him and our daughter, then perfection would jealous of us.
