Our Story

I can't even count the times I've been asked, after telling someone I got married, "How did you meet this guy?". So for all those questions...here's your answer...
Giovanni and I have known each other since we were itty-bitty, but we never even spoke to each other until I moved back to Alabama from Louisiana...which irritates me. I could've had a head start on this. He liked me before I liked him...which I like to remind him of...but he was too scared to come talk to me, so he sent his sisters. :) (He's gonna kill me for writing this. [haha]) I thought it was funny that he sent his sisters, so I agreed to hang out with them one night. That was January 28th, 2007. Yes, I remember the date, and I remember what we did, too. I went to his parent's house to meet Giorgio, who was 10 days old.
I was really wary of G, because I couldn't figure out why he was so nice to me. Stupid me, I thought I was getting special treatment, when he's really nice to everybody. Haha. I used to get the giggles when he would pull out my chair for me, or hold the door for me. I felt like an 80 year old woman...but I've realized since then how sweet it is, and how rare it is to find a guy who will do those kinds of silly things for you.
I fell in love with G because he listened to me, and actually cared about what I was saying. He liked me for who I was, and treated me like a princess. He got to know me...and my flaws, and trust me I have quite a few, and still loved me. One time when I was sick, he drove all the way to my house (those of you who have driven the never-ending, trecherous drive to my parents' house will realize the full impact of this story.) and left a bouquet of flowers, and a get well soon card. He called when he got back to his house and told me to look outside, there was a surprise waiting for me...I thought it was so sweet.
Not just for that reason, though...you know that cheesy cliche "you complete me"? Well, it's true...when you find the right person. Everything I'm not, he is. Together, we make this complete, flawed, but happy person. He's very gentle and peaceful, I'm destructive and have an awful temper, he's dramatic, I'm logical, he's sweet, I'm blunt, he's loud and friendly, while I'm introverted. I sometimes wonder how it works between us, because we're so different, but then I realize how happy we are, and I stop wondering. Who cares how it works? It just does. Anyway, long story short, the prince and princess decided to spend the rest of their lives together, and are now living happily ever after. :)
