Our love story is simple, but unusual at the same time.
Dennis and I met at www.svadba.com. What happiness can you expect when you look for your other half in this way? The marriage agency, as a rule, tends to strip the relationship of intrigue when two people are trying to get to know each other, as it is clear in advance “why we have gathered here today”. However, after years of experience (more negative, than positive) with the opposite sex, and a skeptical approach towards relationships, I thought it was time to give it a try.
Obviously, it didn’t all happen at once: I selected an agency and they accepted me, but it was decided fairly easily. At the end of December 2009, Dennis sent me his first letter which was very intelligent, but not without a sense of humor. After this our correspondence became very active, and in a month we were ready to meet face to face and spend a few days together.
Is it worth saying that I was slightly worried and a little nervous? I had hundreds of questions: “What if he doesn’t like me?”, “What if he’s not the same in real life as he is in his photos and letters?”, “What if someone helped him to write the letters, and he’s actually pretty boring?”, etc, etc.
Then the moment came! I went into the restaurant, where we’d arranged to meet. My heart was in my throat, and I thought it would just jump right out! Finally I saw him, sitting calmly (or at least he gave that impression) at a table drinking coffee. In one moment my nervousness went away, and it was as if everything had landed in its place. We had a great time together. It was comfortable between us, and we didn’t want to go our separate ways. In a month, Dennis came again, but already with the intention to ask for my hand (and my heart).
I didn’t need to think even for a minute, as I was 100% sure that my man, around whom I was sure, would offer me support, protection, care, and of course, love. He got on so well with my 2 year old son, and my son responded to him in the same way. What could be more important for a woman from her partner than a sincere relationship, and love for her child?
Dennis and I got married on 2nd June 2010. His parents also came across to share in their son’s happiness. His dad made the sense according to Danish tradition (as they live in Denmark). He gave us 2 very important pieces of advice. So that our life together is long and full of happiness:
Don’t let the sun go down if you feel some level of anger towards each other. Every day should end with a kiss and a hug before bed.
Love is something that you need to fit for. Every day discover something new and positive in each other, and most importantly, talk to each other about it.
So that something amazing happens, it isn’t essential that it comes from the outside. Our life is the way we see it. We are inexhaustible sources of the amazing and the unknown.
Dennis and I will never stop discovering how similar, yet different we are, but everything that happens between us is so natural and amazing, that it seems like it has been that way forever, and will be that way forever more.
Relationships need constant work, and we are ready to work FOREVER, so that this lasts to the end of our days.
