Wedding details
James and I were introduced last July. My sister-in-law invited me to go a renaissance festival with her and my brother... and an unnamed friend. Yep... I do believe she was trying to set us up... and though she vehemently denied it at the time, I'm sure she's more than happy to take credit for it now! I was pretty mad about the whole thing too. I didn't want to date anyone. I REALLY didn't want to be set up... especially since my SIL seemed to give me the impression that I *really* needed to get married. (She tossed her bouquet directly at me... and my uncle looked over at me and said "Wow... I've never seen anyone actually DODGE the bouquet!") Sooo... I had to spend what I thought was going to be a fun day with my brother and his wife making small talk with a stranger! Which we did. But we certainly didn't bond... and there were no numbers exchanged... and I really didn't like James all that much that day! And then... SIL called me up a few weeks later... "Hey... my friend James really needs a good friend... can I give him your info? You guys can hang out and stuff, maybe." Yeah, sure, whatever. James called me a few days later... at 10:30 at night... and wanted to know if I wanted to come and hang out with him and some of his other friends because it was his birthday. Nope! I was in my jammies and had been in crazy stupid relationships like that before... you know... the ones where you get called up late at night for various types of things... most of the time involving "watching a movie"... I was DONE with that! But I was nice... and he was genuine. And he called me again. And we went jeeping in the mountains one Saturday. "Just Friends." It was fun. Really really fun. And really really really low key. And so I went home that night to go out dancing with my friends. And they told me I should see if he wanted to come too. He sure did! And so we went dancing. And then we stayed up most of the night talking. And now... 8 months later... I have a wonderful man who respects me, challenges me to do new and exciting things, adores me... and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Ditto!
