Amber has hindsight bias. She now thinks she knew it was coming. She didn't. I tricked her into marrying me, and now it's too late. If you want the story...man I'm tired of telling it but here 'goes.We went out to eat at Gaetano's. If you don't know what it is, it's in Dunedin, FL and you should go. Great food, good time. Nice atmosphere. As we were leaving dinner, Amber had to use the restroom, so I went out to the car and put the ring in my pocket. I snuck it out while she was in the shower after our bike ride.
We stopped in dunedin and looked out over the water and talked about stars and tampa area geography. Next on the plan was going to the Botanical Gardens for the Holiday Lights. We walked around some of the other areas, and then went into the wedding garden. I asked Amber if she wanted to stand under the gazebo and practice. She said no, that's dumb. I was able to convince her. Then I tricked her into marrying me.
One of the highlights of the evening was a couple walking past charging us to make it last 40 years like they had. It's encouraging stuff.
We wound out the evening hanging out at the beach, letting some people (who were awake) know of the night's festivities.
2 people looking HOTT!
It's gonna be a fun life together.

Beautiful.
Celibacy has required of you a patient self-denial. Marriage will require of you a more active and all-encompassing self-renunciation. But the payoff is good.
Like driving stick, no good advice or how-to manual will matter nearly as much as your willingness to learn over and over again what it means "this time" to die to self in order to serve each other...even if it comes mostly by grinding the gears and stalling the engine while the angry traffic keeps backing up behind you and honking.
Blessings!
May yall be blessed with 50 Jesus glorifying years!

Hey Sam! Congratulations on the coming consumation of one of the greatest gifts God has given to man, sex!
In the context of marriage, we are given the opportunity to experience one of the greatest expression of intimacy and love. Nothing else in human affection comes close to revealing the awesome love Christ has for those who love Him and call on His name.
Jesus is the waiting bridegroom and we are his bride being prepared for most holy union in his eternal embrace. May God bless your time of waiting, and do not delay too long so that you remain pure. I pray that your union be blessed as God has ordained!
Love,
Jonathan Mitchell
P.S. We need to catch up, call me!
