That's a favorite phrase of one of my closest girlfriend of long standing, Farah. She likes uttering those words at every opportunity she gets (which somehow seems like every now and then actually).
My hubby(I finally can say that word) and me, we made an agreement for this particular entry. I will get to do a no holds barred as long as I keep our (he means his actually) fotos out of this, fotos that don't depict him clearly I mean. Those of you who know how jealously he guards his privacy will know I won in this "debate".....as usual ;-)
Last Wednesday, I married the man in my life. The one whom I fell in love with when I was 17 or 18. The same one that ignored me completely, who made belief I did not exist for two whole years (and more) until I turned 20. Yes, the same one that kept dating older women cause he deemed me too young at that time to know the meaning of love. The same one that out of the blue, without ever asking me for a single date and without ever being WITH me on a single date, uttered "Jenmarie, I love you. I have always been in love with you. I have always loved you from that day we met", sending me reeling into such a state of shock, I was totally speechless for a good 20 minutes.
This was the man that told Farah "You girls...... she, I mean is much too young to know what love is. I prefer someone in her early twenties or slightly older than me actually" shattering my world into millions of broken pieces when I heard that from my best friend and he at the wise age of 24, knew what love was about(?), sigh. For almost a whole year I tried getting his attention, coz well, I knew I loved him from day one. Finally I gave up and went back to the States when my late dad completed his tour of duty. Always had him on my mind and when he picked me up at the airport ** (I came back to visit Farah and the others) a year later, uttering those words at the airport itself, my world seemed complete. Of course, I knew even before the shock wore out, I would make him pay for all the times I cried. Err, well that I won't go into here. Not enough blogger space :-D
And now 7 years later, we are finally husband and wife (I love you then and always will Sha). There was never others in my life except you. The only thing I cried about and felt sad over such a beautiful day was the fact both my parents and both his parents did not live to see this day.
ps: To friends, I'll be off blogger for the next couple of weeks. Sha will also be off his blog which he has left collecting cobwebs anyway, for the same duration of course. We'll be on our honeymoon :-D Wish us all the best you all. Merci
**This is a simplified version. Those of you that know, well, remember Rantau Abang? ;)

Hi
I'm just passing by. I can't help but ask you this jenmarie(?) since I'm a sucker for love stories. You've not or rather never dated each other previously. So it's sort of a pre-arranged marriage you mean? I don't quite get your entry, sorry dear. Plus, I think you're very vivacious! I'm Cathy. 52 yrs young and from Canada. I like your blog too. I think I'll be back for sure.
Cheers
Cathy
You both are meant for each other. I've never seen such a matching pair :) Enjoy the trip. Blessed be mahr.
Wish the two of you all the best. Have a good one guys :)
Oh by the way, I'll be away next week too Jen. So may be upon your return, we'll get that thingy done alrite mahr?
hey guys, friends all. I can't reply yet but to one and all, THANKS fellas!
To everyone here that knows us/me. This is Sha btw.
Thanks everyone. Thanks alot for everything, from the simple wishes/thoughts to the complicated, intricate and laborious aid given to us during the wedding. Peace all, one world indeed!
