The Beginning of the Story of Us...

I climbed across the mountain tops

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines, and I broke all the rules

But, baby, I broke them all for you

Oh because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

You do

I was made for you

For you...

 I wrote this letter two days before the wedding and cried my eyes out for an hour...

I meant to read it to Max during the ceremony but was pressured for time so instead stuck it in his dress shirt pocket...he has a special hiding spot for it now! :D 

He let me "borrow" it for this blog post <3

About a month ago...in a cute little village in Germany called Oberusel...

This lovely couple played some live music for us during the ceremony. 

The lovely Aganina Rose sung "Love" by John Lennon for us as I walked out...

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true, I was made for you...

You see the smile that's on my mouth

It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

I've heard a lot of people tell me how your wedding day is the happiest day of your life...and I have to say it really was for me. It was a really wonderful day spent around the closest family and friends and one that will live forever in my heart and in my memory. 

The day that became the beginning of the story of us...

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true, I was made for you

It's true that I was made for you

The Biggest Day of My Life...

I remember the day we first met almost 6 years ago...

We met at a Halloween house party in Marpole, Vancouver, BC. 

There were 800 people at this house, totally insane! 

I was dressed as a 1950's sailor 

(pixie cut hair, white vintage sailor jacket + white cap and everything...very authentic)  

Max was dressed as Wolverine and the costume was SPOT on!

I'm a sucker for authentic costume...

that and the fact that he looked exactly like Hugh Jackman...hubba hubba

Anyways...it was basically love at first sight...

He was the first person I saw and the only person I talked to for about an hour before he had to rush off to take care of  an incapacitated friend...what a swell guy! :)

Max is originally from Germany and had only been visiting Vancouver for a few months when we met. Funny enough, I had already bought a ticket to go to Germany 2 months prior!

Coincidence? 

Maybe not...I think it was fate...

(yes that's right, I'm a sappy hopeless romantic!)

We messaged each other every day after our first encounter. 

One of our first dates was at a Christmas Market in Frankfurt briefly while I was travelling there...

We've been inspereable ever since...

...and in one week from tomorrow 

we get to spend the rest of our lives creating our journey together as husband and wife where we will be married near Max's hometown in Germany.

I thank my lucky stars every single day for providing me with my greatest companion, friend, partner, lover and soul mate <3
