The first time I saw Dr. P, I was smitten. He came to my apartment to see J, the boyfriend of my former roommate, and I could. not. get over how good looking J's friend was.
If my memory serves me correctly, J, my roommate A, my ex and I spent over an hour discussing the looks of The Boy who would one day become Dr. P (my Dr. P). I had no dog in the fight, I simply believed The Boy to be a superior human specimen.
Looking back, Dr. P hardly remembers the night and I giggle when I think about the things that initially drew me to the man who will be my husband. Yes, I think he's dreamy, but had I known how kind, and intelligent, and strong, and dedicated. and funny, and honest, and hardworking, and inquisitive, and brilliant, and sexy, and gosh darn wonderful he was back then I would have swiftly bid the (very nice) ex adieu, and gone after The Boy like a she wolf.
Luckily fate (and perhaps roommate A) saw the bigger picture, and brought us together. We both had slight limps I from a car accident late in the spring semester, he from a botched surgery, and we bonded at the back of the pack. But we've regained our (rather fast-paced) strides hand-in-hand, going further together than we ever could have imagined before.
Dr. P has been my refuge for the past four years. He is my shelter, my council, my cheerleader and my protector. And now, I cannot wait to add "my husband" to that list of adjectives.
Dr. P. I love you more than I knew was possible. I cannot wait for the rest of our lives to begin.
This is the sweetest post ever. And it is very appropriate that it is from you. I might melt!
ReplyDeleteTo quote the sweetest niece yet, "so sweet!!"
ReplyDeletePs. Your eyes are kind of bewitchingly cute in that pic!'
ReplyDeletedearest one;
ReplyDeletethat is the way it is supposed to be....if you are terribly lucky.
and both of you are.
Aww, I forgot that both of you were gimpy back then.
ReplyDeleteOne detail that I feel needs mentioning is that right around the same time, J, future-Dr.-P, his ex, and I had a very similar conversation discussing *your* looks (only it wasn't an argument, as we were all in agreement that you were supa hott). So while I wish that I could claim that my matchmaking efforts were steered by detailed analysis of personality compatibility, it was more of a "hey, here are two fun single people who think the other is ridiculously attractive, that might work!" Glad it did...

PS. I had to type out "cychoon" just now to prove that I'm not a robot. Sounds like some kind of terrifying cyclone-typhoon hybrid.
We are over flowing with happiness for you both. Thank you for sharing this, Three.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite darling.
