Love is a Journey

You know how the old saying goes, “if you love someone, let them go, and if they come back to you, they are yours." The journey that lead Micheal and Herbrina to forever is one of passion, sacrifice, patience, and everlasting love. They met in 2007, she a baby prosecutor, he an officer and gentleman. It was infatuation at first sight, and they bonded over a mutual love of music, movies, and public service. Their first date lasted over twelve hours, complete with dinner, a movie, and a trip to the gun range. They fell in love over the next four years, but their relationship was tested by life and work. When Herbrina left Atlanta for a job in DC, they both believed that was the end. After nearly four years apart, they were reunited by the untimely death of Herbrina's father. They spent months as friends, with Micheal offering the emotional support that she needed. Eventually, Micheal and Herbrina realized that they could no longer fight their true feelings. They reunited and after a whirlwind romance, and he surprised her with a trip to the city of love and a marriage proposal. And the rest, they say, is happily ever after.

That morning, June 10, 2017, we got up early to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a champagne toast. We spent the rest of the afternoon, walking down the Champs-Élysées and visiting the Rodin Museum. Mike had promised me a Michelin-star dinner fit for foodie queen, and I dressed in my DVF best for the occasion. He was dressed in this impeccable blue suit and looked amazing. Mike suggested that we walk to the restaurant because it was along the Seine River. I admit at this point, I should have been a little suspicious, but I was not. As we walked, we approached a women with a tourist hat on and Mike asked her to take a picture of us with his iPhone. She took the picture, but we all agreed that the picture was poor quality. The lady suggested an alternative and pulled out a professional camera. At this point, I turned to Mike and he, wearing a (feigned) sad face, apologized for lying about dinner...
