We have been speaking approximately getting married for years. We knew we might be collectively all the time as quickly as we commenced dating. Before Tim’s mother handed away some years ago, she gave him her wedding ceremony ring and informed him to vow he could supply it to me. (So candy!) But, some thing usually were given withinside the way. I wasn’t geared up or one in all our children changed into making plans a wedding ceremony. It simply wasn’t our time and we virtually were not in a hurry.
Last April we deliberate ride to Miami. One night time we have been headed to dinner and Tim stated he desired to take a walk at the seaside first.
