The first movie that made me feel all the feels was ‘The Vow’, I always wanted my love life to be like that. I wanted to love hard like they do in those fairy tales. I was willing to make all those sacrifices for the one I loved and was ready to take that leap of faith. Being rich never mattered to me, I wanted life to be simple and the fairy tales to become real. I knew that the love of my life would be no knight in shining armor; I am talking about the spirit of love that we see in those fairy tales. I always saw a piece of myself in Paige and her wedding vows were an exact reflection of my emotions about what love should be like.
Every girl dreams of a guy who can make her feel like she’s in a fairy tale. But, it’s the truth that the reality is quite contrary to that. In most cases, you have to face a lot of guys who are not right for you and suffer a lot of heartaches to find the one who will make an actual difference in your life. Once you find your soul mate, he will be totally worth it and he will be so much different than all of the relationships you’ve ever been in.
“I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.”
The only problem was who would the ‘forever after’ kind of guy would be? Would he be someone like, ‘McDreamy’ from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ or would be one of those teen wolfs or vampire crap? These boys were giving me a hard time but when the right one came along, everything just seemed to click. We fit like pieces of Legos into each other’s lives. He is away on a business meeting and missing him made me appreciate everything about him. Just yesterday I sat down for you guys and made a list of things that make him my ‘forever after’.
