We are going for the second meeting with our officient tomorrow evening. So tonight we had to go over some of the documentation we were given to fill out together. Some was for the ceremony itself...we chose an example of a simple one that we could tweek to make our own. As Chris was going through that, I was going through a questions/answer part . Some questions were simple and others were especially designed to make you think about your partner and relationship. It is also a tool for the officient to get to know us better as a couple.
We had fun deciding what to put down for different questions, like, how did u meet? Who made the first move?....It was cute to think of those days in the beginning lol.
There was one question that asked each person to write about the other. ie; personality, weaknesses, likes etc
I wrote: ...Chris is my hero on so many levels. He is a man of integrity and fairness and also stays true to his own beliefs. He is very deep in that he always strives to learn about more of everything. Chris is also able to make everyone feel special. He is the smartest person I know but is also one of the funniest. He is liked by everyone who knows him, He has no pretentions yet also has much class and taste with most everything. He is also sensitive and romantique and he rocks my world. He has 2 weaknesses, one is being to hard on himself and the other is me. But I am also one of his strengths.
I had to translate it to english but this is what

Monette listens, understands and is a counseller . She is a healer and a voice to be heard. Her wisdom and soul make of her a friend, everyone would need one day. Her humour gets her through all kinds of life challenges. She also lightens the burdens of those she loves. Always ready to give of herself to help the less fortunate than her.
Her generosity is a force to be reckoned with and a weakness because she puts herself last. Monette is like the lighthouse to a ship in the ocean, she is the reason I rush home everyday. Her joie de vivre and her ability to surprise me, make everyday a new adventure. She provides me with a foundation, a basis for achievement.....she is my motivation for grasping at the Moon!
He read that to me and I just wanted to cry....I am the luckiest woman in the world!...How could a person not feel deeply loved after that?...

I have no idea...
I mean damn I was sitting here with tears in my eyes after reading both of them...
Anyone who knows both of you, know that what you both wrote is the absolute truth...
I can't wait until you guys get married.
No two people were ever made more for eachother than the both of you.
Let me tell you that I never thought I'd see the day when true love was so obvious that no words were needed...but writing them down made us all even more aware that the fairytale can and does come true.
I love you both with all my heart and am honored to be a part of your lives and a part of your union.

Congratulations and best wishes for a very happy future together. I came across your blog through 'Just Sue' and was interested to see that you are a counsellor. I am doing an integrative humanistic counselling diploma at present.
You both expressed yourselves so eloquently. Two souls that found their way to each other...with the millions of us on the internet..and recognized the value of each other..
We are blessed to be called your friends.
This is not the blush of casual attraction, that with time grows to boredom and disrespect of each other..as many do.
With the passing of the days and years, you have revelled in the many things you have learned about each other. With this insight, your hearts have grown as well...Till you can not imagine one with out the other. Speaks volumes that you inspire the other to grow..that your safe harbor,is with the other.
It was like reading the words of the great, romantic, poets of old. Thank you for sharing this....for showing me what love can be like.
God bless you both. I will be with you in spirit on your big day.
Love and miss ya,
Charly
Charly...talk about blessed...what an absolutely beautiful comment. Chris and I both send you big hugs for that...if you weren't so far I know you would be here to celebrate with us...thanks my friend 0x0x0x
