A mutual friend of ours thought we had some things in common and decided to try to set us up on a blind date.  We talked several times before actually going out and realized that our friend was right.  We would spend hours on the phone talking about ourselves and our families.   After the first date we both were hooked and continued dating for 3 months, we fell in love with one another, but we realized that we were at different stages in our lives and felt that it would be better to stop seeing one another.  We continued to talk from time to time, but we wouldn't allow ourselves to get too close to each other.    Fast Forward 2 Years  The mutual friend that introduced us was getting married and asked for both of us to be apart of her wedding.  At the wedding rehersal it was the first time that we had seen each other in over a year.  When we finally had the opportunity to talk privately it was like old times again.  We felt like we didn't lose those two years.  All of our old feelings came rushing back.  On the following day at the wedding reception we kept sneaking glances at each other.  The DJ asked for all the single ladies to make their way to the dance floor to catch the bride's bouquet.  To the surprise of everyone and mostly myself, the bouquet ended up in my hands.  Next it was time for the bachelors to try to catch or stay away from the brides garter.  Somehow someway Lance ended up catching it.     At that moment we knew that this was meant to be.  Since that night in June 2008 Lance and I have been inseparable. We both feel that we needed that time apart to grow and find ourselves so that we could love one another better.
