Desiring the Best Man: Love at First Sight Story

We spent five years in Dubai before moving to Shanghai, and now we are living in the Maldives. I don't know how fate managed to bring us together considering there were over employees at the hotel. Had it not been for orientation, we may have never found each other. Our meeting was purely through chance. I will love him until the stars fall down, and then some. He was standing in the lobby of the restaurant and we made eye contact a few times.

He wasn't seated in my section so I didn't have any interaction with him to feel out his sexual preference. As he was leaving, I wrote my number on a piece of paper with a note that said, "Text me sometime - Jason. An hour later, I was restocking coffee mugs when I hear someone with an Australian accent say, "Jason? I was just hoping for a text, but he came back to see me. Coincidentally we were both in Vegas the following weekend and fell in love instantly. On June 28th , I woke up pretty early to watch the news because the decision for legalizing gay marriage was said to be announced at 7AM.

Damian was still sleeping. I was crying with happiness as I ran and woke up Damian to tell him about the good news. I turned on the TV to show him all the people rejoicing and celebrating. Everyone was so excited. I laid down next to Damian and held him tight. Pouring out of me came the words, "Will you marry me? So, I tried to hide behind a book and pray that I got prettier real quick.

I am a writer. And we probably would have never met if it wasn't for my little sister. I had just graduated college and was living at home during that weird period of job searching. My little sister came home from a mission trip and was showing me photos of her team leaders. There was one photo I freaked out about- a man with long dreads flipping his hair back next to the ocean. The photo was so cool! I told my sister that guy looked like an awesome person, to which she replied we would probably be best friends.

I laughed it off. He looked too good for me, plus I was job searching and would probably move somewhere far away. Two weeks later, I'm at my little sister's volleyball game and in walks Jordan. I had NO idea he was going to be there. In order to get him there, my sister told Jordan that I had asked her to invite him. So, he saunters in smiling at me and I had no idea why he was cheesing so hard. Plus he was ridiculously good looking so I tried to hide behind a book and pray that I got prettier real quick. After an hour of weird staring at each other in the bleachers, Jordan came up to me and I blurted out, "do you like books, too?

And 3 years later, we're getting married! I was single, had an established career, and a great life. I dated a lot but I just hadn't met "the one. I knew I wanted the option of having my own biological children one day but wasn't willing to rush into just any relationship.

Freezing my eggs was the best decision I've ever made. The doctors were extremely informative and supportive, and I was able to use fertility financing which I've since paid off. Having a backup plan was reassuring and allowed me to stop panicking about time. Also, when I shared this information with men I was dating, the response was actually pretty favorable.

They saw me as a confident woman who wasn't going to settle rather than the "desperate woman in her 30's" stereotype.

When I turned 35, I took a trip to Ibiza. I almost didn't go because my family and friends kept telling me I needed to stop traveling so much. They said I needed to stay in one place if I wanted to meet the right person and start a family. Turns out they were wrong. Sometimes the best way to meet someone is to keep doing what you love. For me that's traveling, and it is for my dream man too. When I met Karl, he was 42, had never been married, and didn't have children. We had so much in common including that we both took the time to establish careers and really figure out who we are and what we want out of life.

Being with Karl made me realize why it never worked out with anyone else. Because I never want my daughter to think she is a ticking clock whose value depreciates with age. Society puts so much pressure on women and I think it's important we empower ourselves, explore all our options, and never settle. It wasn't until years later when we were both 25 that our six-month-whirlwind-romance began. I guess that kind of history makes it easier to fall in love quickly. Jessica and her grandfather had a running joke each time they saw each other where he would check her hand to see if I had slipped a ring on her finger yet.

If there was no ring, he would tease me and ask me where it was. I would shrug and brush it off. Jessica's grandpa told her in secret that he was sure it would happen before Valentines day. When Jessica came to pick me up from the airport on February 13th after I had been gone for work, she had no idea that right there at the airport I would ask her to marry me.

I didn't want to miss her grandpas deadline, of course. She turned to me and said, "are you crazy? The first thing he did when we got there was grab her hand to check for a ring and the moment he felt it he burst into tears. It was an amazing moment for all of us. I decided to drive through Downtown Fredrick, which was a terrible idea considering it was midnight on a Thursday. I was driving down Market Street when I saw flashing red and blue lights come on behind me. I pulled over and waited as a male cop proceeded to my window.

He asked me to step out of the car since there was a strong smell of alcohol on me. I tried to explain that I had just spent the day pouring liquor, but he wasn't having it and demanded I do a field sobriety test. Before I knew it, the sidewalk was full of cops. That's when I decided it was a good time to make a joke, which only one cop thought was funny. I passed my field sobriety test with flying colors but had to stand with the rest of the cops for a minute as paperwork was filed.

That's when Danny and I hit it off. However, being the professional he is, he didn't ask me for my number or even my name for that matter! So I really thought that was the end of that. But I was wrong. He coincidentally showed up to the bar I worked at the next night and we've been inseparable ever since. We're expecting our first baby girl in August and can't wait to tell her the story of how daddy almost falsely arrested mommy.

One of my first memories is playing Hot Wheels with Jordan and kissing him on the cheek, to which he got mad and said "If you kiss me one more time, I'm going home! I went away for college and it wasn't until after I graduated that Jordan and I reconnected. We both went solo to a mutual friend's wedding and we spent the night laughing and dancing together.

I expected Jordan to contact me after the wedding, but he never did. I was confused and felt rejected but eventually accepted that he just wasn't interested in me. According to Jordan, it took him a while- 8 months might I add- to build up the nerve to talk to my brother about wanting to date me because he was so worried that it would hurt their friendship.

But my brother was actually very accepting of the idea. Then, shortly after that, a group of our mutual friends went camping for 4th of July weekend. Jordan and I were walking through the woods when he stopped me and nervously confessed that he had feelings for me.

I then told him that I had liked him for a very long time. We were both equally shocked. We then shared our first kiss and it immediately started to rain- it was straight out of a movie! We were engaged 10 months later, and married 5 months after that. We took engagement photos with fireworks to symbolize the 4th of July weekend when everything changed. While I was waiting to go in for our appointment, in walks my future husband. We both looked at each other, smiled, and then I looked away, but I could still feel him staring at me.

He then walked over and introduced himself. I never believed in love at first sight until that moment.

We talked until my name was called but before I entered the vet's office, he asked me to have dinner with him. We had our first date that night and have been together ever since. That was in November of In June of , as we were driving back to Chicago from our vacation in Florida, we stopped in Nashville. Our dream has always been to pursue music together in Nashville so it's a tradition of ours to stop there whenever we're passing through.

Patrick surprised me and made reservations at the most amazing restaurant. Then after dinner, he had another surprise - he rented out the Grand Ole Opry to have just to ourselves to walk around. There he got down on one knee and proposed. It was totally unexpected because I didn't think he was going to propose for a few more years. I later found out that he designed the ring after only 2 weeks of dating. He even showed me the date on the receipt to prove it. It just confirms what I knew from the beginning- It was love at first sight. They certainly never wanted to hurt Rick, but desiring each other was so powerful they couldn't deny it from each other, even when they could at least held those feelings in bay.

She knew she would just be lying and that he knew it, too. I wanted to kiss you and lay you back on that picnic table and run my hands all over your body! I did feel something at the park. It was pretty much what you just described. And, no, I don't know what it was. They may love their idea of God, but if their idea is false they do not truly love God because they do not even know the true God. Or if they just learned about the true God today there love will not be as true as it will be in a year from now after getting to know him more.

God made physical attraction. God made romantic feelings. These types of experiences are not wrong or sinful. However, like all good things, we can misuse them and turn them into sinful things if we allow our sinful nature to get involved. There are few things easier to idolize than attraction, sex, and romance. Christians should not condemn these things, but they should be very careful and cautious to ensure they are using these gifts as God intended them to be used.

Two good examples involved Isaac and Rebekah and Jacob and Rachel. A very similar experience happens between Rachel and Jacob in Genesis Their relationship too leads to marriage. Another terrible example of how infatuation leads to sinful behavior is what happened between Amnon and Tamar in 2 Samuel Idols always eventually let us down. You can always know how much you idolized someone by how angry you get at them when they do not fill you like you thought they would.
