A Wedding-of-sorts...

[heinz57_79]

I just thought I'd share a bit of news with everyone... :) Bella (my gf) and myself have decided to get 'married' before the end of the year. Granted, I realise "marriage" isn't legal, but to us that's what it's gonna be. :) I'm excited to have an event to plan and all. Anyone want to be invited to a commitment ceremony? I'd be happy to have anyone who wants to come! ;) So wish us luck and I'll keep everyone posted!

Congrats! A marriage is so much more than a piece of paper. But yeah, I know that would be nice too. :)

How long have y'all been together?

Long story, but we've been "together" only since March, however we've been in love for over a year. :)

Congratulations, JC!! If I was closer, I sure would be there! Micki is right, marriage is a lot more than just a piece of paper.

I wish you and Bella lots of happiness.:)

Inquiring minds want to know... how can you be together since March but in love for over a year? One of those waiting-for-them-to-break-up-before-you-can-step-in kinda deals? :D

I tell everyone hubby and I met in December, but really "met" in October. We met online and was in love with him before I met him in person... then was a bit surprised by what I saw when I DID meet him. Not my type at all! LOL ...but we followed out hearts and were married less than 9 months after meeting. Three crazy years later, I can't imagine life without him

Sigh, isn't love grand?

Yup! Only it was on both ends. I met both of them when they were in their last relationships. It was nice to finally see them get together. Especially since JCs last girlfriend was not exactly the nicest of people. And Bella's wasn't much better either!

BEST WISHES TO YOU BOTH.:)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Congrats!!

The legalness of marage isn't nearly as important as the feelings behind it. I wish you both the very best!

I keep forgetting that Laura's been there. LoL Just to elaborate a wee bit, I met Bella (prounounced BAYA, just as an FYI) the same night I met my ex. They were friends, sort of. My ex lived with Bella's gf at the time and 2 other friends, all in the same house. Bella was having problems with her gf after Danielle (her gf) had cheated on her. BAD situation. They were actually broken up that night I met everyone. Instant attraction between Bella and myself. But I never imagined myself being attractive to someone like her, so I kinda set my sights a tad bit lower. So I started seeing my ex. But the attraction remained. I knew it, she knew it. But I was with Heather and Bella decided to work things out with Danielle. I was using Heather to get to spend time with Bella. It was a very strange situation. Every time we were together, sparks flew. Danielle saw it, Heather was oblivious. I knew Bella wasn't happy in her relationship, but she didn't realise quite how bad mine was. When Heather and I finally broke up she called me to be a friend, to see how I was doing. We started spending time together, one on one. Our emotions were raging. But i knew she was still with Danielle so I never made a move, hard as it was.

Finally, we couldn't take it anymore. We let ourselves fall. And it's been wonderful since. :) On an interesting side note: Less than 3 weeks after we started really seeing each other, Heather (my ex) and Danielle started seeing each other. Oddly enough, they're still together, driving each other absolutely batty since neither of them really like each other much. :)

Congratulation's JC & Bella!

Make sure there are plenty of pictures! :p

Amber

[Kfamr]

Congratulations JC!!

I'm so glad you guys got out of those bad relationships and are happy now!

Wish I could be there! I'll echo the rest when they say that you must show pictures. ;)

[My Peanuts]

Congratulations! I wish you and Bella a long happy life together.

P.S. If I would have written this I would have left out the "of sorts" part. Your marriage is every bit a "real" marriage. Just my opinion :D
