This is for anyone that thinks love doesn't exist are that the fairytale that you desire doesn't exist. We all want love even if we don't say it or even if the past we knew as love was a little dark. My personal experience in love was pretty rocky until now. I never really knew that I could even feel this way and the feelingwould be so amazing. Even at this exact moment that it's hard to describe.
From the moment we met I know for sure that I knew he was the one. We were on our first date and it just felt really weird but not in a bad way. I couldn't explain it but at that moment I described it as an "array of emotions". The date went well and the dates after that were even better.
How did we meet? I met Adeola through the help of my cousin and we instantly clicked. His pick up line was so cute on my profile bio I said I was "almost perfect" he responded with "your perfect" from that moment I knew he was the guy for me. Without going into to many details Addy is the perfect man for me because of all of the qualities he posses.
He is everything in a man that I ever wanted. You know how you meet some people and your like well I don't like this or that.. or they do such and such to make you mad all the time. Or maybe you disagree on a lot of things. Well this is totally the opposite. Now of course we have our fights and we disagree but the love really surpasses the arguments. His personality and my personality go hand and hand. It's almost like God really knew and crafted him with me in mind.
So here's what you really came here for... The proposal.
I remember that night the weather didn't permit for our original plans (The Field of Lights) so instead We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants (Kona Grill). He was the perfect gentlemen all night as usual, When dinner was over he insisted on getting a red box movie.
He rode around to three different ones looking for the movie of his choice. When we got home he put the movie in and it was The Notebook. I wanted to cry instantly because it's my favorite movie. We watched the movie and right at the the scene of the guy proposing he got up and got on his knee.
"I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, you make me a better person each day and I want you to be my wife. He said some more sweet stuff, but I was in such a shock that I cried.
Then the words we all wait our whole life to hear came off his lips "Will you marry me"? At that moment I said yes in my mind without one reservation. I knew I wanted forever, I knew I wanted him to be the father of my kids. Names picked and all.
I said yes!! Adeola is going to be my husband and I can't wait to be his wife!
Our love is unique because it didn't take us years to figure out that we wanted to be together forever. It's so true when people say you know when you meet the one. I'm sure you have questions on when the date is? What are the colors and what the plan is. Currently, we have a date in mind. No further details have been confirmed.
I look forward to spending my life with him and everything that comes with it.
I wrote this blog in hopes to inspire you to keep your heart open to true love. Believe me when I say it will come. In my case it came when I least expected it. Personally, I was ready to give it up, call it quits, and get a dog.
But then Love called me and I answered and the rest is still being written.
Me: Our love is Almost Perfect
Him: It is perfect.
Me: It is.
"So it's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be really hard. And we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever. You and me. Everyday.” - The Notebook
