"Happily ever after" really is a thing. I married my first love (and a first marriage for me) at 62. We hadn't seen or kept in touch with each other since we were 17.
Mazel tov! What a great story. I loved reading the novel but haven’t warmed up to the series; maybe you’ve inspired me to try again. I did not feel the need to marry my love of 10 years: we knew we weren’t going to have children and were both atheists. But… we did have a small lovely wedding and I truly felt a difference, a deepening, after marriage. Hard to explain. Next April we’ll be celebrating our 50th anniversary! I hope you two have a wonderful wedding and many more years of life together.
Wonderful. Sometimes all the other shit has to happen to make us ready. I'm a big believer in things happen when they happen and everything before that is a lesson we needed to learn first. Totally thrilled for you.
OMG, who could not fall in love with this love story? It has some elements in common with mine (I married my second husband/soulmate when both of us were 50 — after having been friends with terrible timing for 30+ years) — and I have somehow never seen "One Day" but now I'm making it a date to screen with him.
You will absolutely " jump all the hurdles together". It only gets better!
I speak from experience. My late husband and I had a long distance relationship (USA and South Africa) for 22 years before we married and I moved there.
Like you we had reasons we didn't sooner but it was the best thing we ever did.
Congratulations! What a happy moment to finish this prolonged painful break. I lived through the same troubles when Jewish parents of my husband refused to accept our love and our marriage until their granddaughter was born.
What a sweet story and I’m excited for you both! I hope to see a pic from your “I Do” celebration! I’m reminded of a favorite Irish folk singer, Mary Black, singing “I couldn’t change it; I never arranged it. That’s what the strange bit’s always been. Strange thing, this old love business, strange thing, love…”
What a beautiful lifelong live story. Love endured thru the years, and while others came and went, your friendship if the heart held you both in close che k with each other. Congrats on your Vows and Ceremony.
If there was a more compelling condemnation of religion, I haven’t read it. Congratulations on finally getting married.
Exactly. How many happier lives would there be without religion, and religious tribal identity? And that seems to apply to all of them equally.

Very sweet.
Awwwwww! That’s really delightful.
Wishing you all the joy that was delayed.
I've had that and so much more that I never imagined could happen in a relationship. Thank you for your thoughts.

A wonderful love story. They come in all versions, sizes, and shapes.
Sherry,

True love withstands all barriers.
Lovely, just lovely. Now I wanna hear more about your platonic soulmate!!!
So sad that religion can be a wedge that thwarts true love. "All's well that ends well"! ❤️🔥
