married bliss

so, on to the "legally-married fag" part...

almost four years ago, now, i went to my apartment building's holiday party and got trashed beyond belief.  while there, some cute little thing, dressed all in black, swept past me and stole my heart - we married fifteen minutes later at city hall.

okay, not really - lol.  there WAS a party, and there WAS a man in black, and he WAS cute (is STILL cute...), and he DID sweep past me and my friend troy as we were drinking to the holidays - but he didn't steal my heart at that moment, as a matter of fact, all i really wanted to do at the moment was make out with him because he was so cute  = )  i got my wish by the end of the night but didn't get to get much closer to him because my friend troy swept in, himself, and stole him for himself with his greedy little hands.  

which, of course, didn't work because - duh - he was meant for ME!

fast forward almost a year after meeting this beautiful and fun man, john, and he and i decide to finally start dating; and then move in with each other nine months later; and then at a most unexpected moment in the middle of a friend's wedding reception, he leaned over and said, "will you marry me?"  i believe my response was something along the lines of, "huh?"  he repeated the question and i said, "for real?" and he said, "yeah, let's go to california and get married!"  (note - california still had legal same-sex marriage in 2008 before the nazi morman fucks stuck their pretentious noses in another state's business and scared the voters into overturning a perfectly harmless law).  we ran off to cali the last week of september, 2008 with four friends and got married!!!  for your voyeurs out there, here are pics of the wedding taken by our incredibly talented friend, ben  = )

the rest is history!  we just had our 4/3/2 anniversary on 25 september (4 years knowing each other, 3 years dating, and 2 years married) and things just keep getting better and better.  i guess i never really saw myself as the type to "settle down" but i have to say, i think i've settled into it quite well - life is good  = )
