Hi! Jay and I met when he was 11 and I was 13 in a kids kind of support group. I was his "first love". We were super close but I didn't feel "that" way about him. He pretty much proposed to me before his first marriage in 1999. I was his "best woman" at the wedding. I tried to convince him not to marry her. Anyway, years went by, we were in contact then not, then contact throughout the years. He even took care of my kitty while I lived in Germany. He became very ill after a surgery in 2017 and I saw it on Facebook and called him immediately. He says he was surrounded by friends and whispered "omg it's her". We started talking and I have no idea how, but he uncorked my bottle, helping me at 48 to remember who I really was, and we fell in love over the phone. I live in San Diego - he in Sacramento. He drove down to meet me for a weekend. We hadn't seen each other face to face in many years. He was so sure he already had the ring (chocolate diamonds) and even had bought his ring and proposed to me his 2nd day we were together. He moved within a month and we have been together a bit over a year and a half. We are getting married in Sacramento - most of our friends and family are in the Bay Area. We rented a huge house on the river where family can stay and we are full on organizing our wedding. He is so into it. I sometimes call him Groomzilla. We are so in love. I still have poetry he wrote me when we were practically kids. I'm going to have a poem read at the wedding. We didn't choose a theme but it turned quickly into a bird theme, Robin & Jay :-) It's an amazing story. We only wish we had gotten together much younger when we both went through the pains of life, but it's ok, we hope to have many years to come and grow old together like we had planned even before the in love part came. We are so blessed. Wedding is August 3rd!
