I posted this some time ago on Nov 11/03 on BBR/DSLR and thought I would continue it on here....
| Quote: | The new life I speak of began two days ago, when none other but Paul aka Zhen-Xjell the prolific bunny proposed to me and I accepted. I am posting this here, because being with Paul has caused monumental changes in my life, and I love every one of them.
But lets go back a few more days, to when I picked him up at the airport. I arrived late, after getting a speeding ticket on I5. I walked around the terminal in a complete daze, searching for him. I had him paged, because I couldn't see him anywhere. Apparently I am a tad on the blind side, because he was right there in front of me the whole time.
I turned to walk down the ramp outside to check if he was outside waiting for me, because I didn't think he would hear the page out there. When suddenly I was being hoisted into the air....... I thought "I'm being mugged!" I turned my head to see Paul's face smiling at me, and all was well in my world again.
After a lengthy stay on that same ramp, we headed out to the car. There are many people who think that chivalry is dead. I am here to say it isn't. Paul is living proof it is alive and well. There is something that is so remarkable and wonderful about a man who will open doors for you, close them again behind you, and fully treat you like a "lady". It is uncommon, it is wonderful, and it is a quality I have long looked for and never before found in a man.
The following day, we went to my parents house. It is about 4 hrs away. I had mentioned to my father that I wanted him to meet Paul, which is something that I had never before done. It was after that, and without knowing, Paul mentioned he wanted to speak to my father, which was the purpose of our trip. We arrived several hours later then we should have, sporting a beautiful bouquet of roses for my mother (Paul is VERY thoughtful). I'll admit it I was a little anxious about Paul meeting my dad, mostly because I wanted him to appreciate Paul for who he is, and not because he is my fiancee (at that time boyfriend). After seeing them together I have no idea why I was the least bit concerned.
I went into the kitchen with my mom, and Paul decided it was time to have the "man to man" talk with my dad. He asked for my fathers blessing, and showed him the ring. Which is absolutely beautiful and stunned me completely. I was completely unaware until much later, that my dad requested it be shown to my mom as well.
We drove home that night. The following day went out to a beautiful park in West Vancouver, called Lighthouse Park. For whatever reason, I still have no idea, Paul said "let's go in there" there was a little trail off to the side. We went, and it took us to a secluded little spot overlooking the ocean and lighthouse, surrounded by old growth forest. It was completely hidden from the main trail. Even though I've been there many times I had no idea the little spot was there.
It was there, he did it. It was there my new life began. After standing there together for a few minutes, Paul got down on bended knee, took my hand into his, and asked me to marry him. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know if I should cry, or faint. He was holding the ring in his hand, it was much more then I ever expected. I accepted and he placed the ring on my finger. It took a few minutes for it to sink in. I just sort of stood there, like Bambi caught in the headlights (he likes that look on my face I think) I was so surprised I couldn't determine if I was cold or not, we were walking past couples and I started crying because I was so happy. It would have been physically impossible for his proposal to be more perfect. I didn't discover the online version until several hours later when he asked me to check on something for him. There it was bold as day, and it made me love him that much more.
When I say Paul has made me the happiest woman in the universe I mean it with every fiber in my being, he completes me, and is more then I ever thought I could hope for. He is my best friend, my fiancee, my confidant, my soul mate, and so much more.
There is a perfect someone out there for everyone, I didn't believe it before, but now there is no doubt in my mind. Everything we go through in our lives prepares us and grooms us for that person. I am thankful for every event in my life, good and bad, pleasurable and painful, because without those events I wouldn't have been ready to meet Paul.
Paul thank you for being who you are, and for loving and accepting me for who I am. |

This by far has been the best year of my life. Paul is an amazing man, and an even more amazing husband.
I love you Paul.
