Our Wedding

We&nbsp;met&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;dating&nbsp;site&nbsp;OkCupid&nbsp;and&nbsp;went&nbsp;on&nbsp;our&nbsp;first&nbsp;date&nbsp;at&nbsp;Tokyo&nbsp;Sushi&nbsp;in&nbsp;Maplewood.&nbsp;Our&nbsp;second&nbsp;date&nbsp;was&nbsp;going&nbsp;fishing&nbsp;with&nbsp;friends.&nbsp;We've&nbsp;bonded&nbsp;over&nbsp;our&nbsp;love&nbsp;of&nbsp;books,&nbsp;movies,&nbsp;Harry&nbsp;Potter,&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Rings,&nbsp;fantasy,&nbsp;supernatural,&nbsp;arts&nbsp;and&nbsp;crafts,&nbsp;kayaking,&nbsp;board&nbsp;games,&nbsp;painting,&nbsp;nature,&nbsp;gardening,&nbsp;and&nbsp;animals. The&nbsp;laughter&nbsp;we&nbsp;share&nbsp;brightens&nbsp;our&nbsp;days.&nbsp;Through&nbsp;the&nbsp;hobbies&nbsp;we&nbsp;share, we find that we are at peace and filled with a serenity that brings us closer with each passing moment. Entangled in our activities we lose track of time but find our hearts and souls becoming more enthralled with each other. This is very true during the days we spend playing table top games, wandering around zoos and even just cuddling up together while we read new books that bring us joy. We may struggle in our daily lives with being social around others we love, strangers and those we care about. It can be hard for us but we try. That is one way we know we are destined to share the rest of our lives together. For we glow and can truly be ourselves around each other. We cultivate a future we want to live, shine for each other to be our very best selves. Our story, is a story of patience, gathering, love and acceptance, with sprinkles of fun, laughter and memorable adventures. We wouldn't be who we are if it wasn't for the amazing people in our lives.
