“I finally get to marry my fiancé after all these years. We dated for eight years, from our sophomore year of high school all the way through four years of college. We’ve been engaged for almost five years. My friends and family are ecstatic and can't believe the day is finally here. Every year as we approached our selected wedding dated we talked our self into waiting just one more year to tie the knot. We’re young, we’re still young and just wanted to be sure that we were making the best decision for both parties. Really, we are all each other knows. When I think about sealing the deal my stomach feels weak and my mind floods with questions I can’t answer. I love him and I know that even if we didn’t get married we would still be together. Our future is together, not apart and a legal piece of paper shouldn’t scare me any longer.”
