engaged: 27 June 2009

Since the day we made it official on 12.08.07 we've been together for 2 years and 7 months and we were only engaged 1 year and 6 months later...To some this may be considered short and it may come of as a shock, but I believe that true love doesn't matter on the length of years or months you've been with a person, but the quality of the time you spend with that person. Erwin and I have both come across a lot of obstacles and challenges in our relationship since the beginning and more challenges we had to face after being engaged. We overcame all of them together. I like to joke and tease that I never had drama till I met him, which is mostly true, but it just shows how strong I am as a person to deal with it all. Like the saying goes, "if you don't have haters then you're not doing something right"...I actually agree with this because people will dislike you for the littlest of all things which is quite silly. I always try to confide in Erwin because he is the only person besides my MAMA who knows me 100%. Erwin tells me it's just "jealousy" and people are just jealous that we are getting married and have only been together a short amount of time. I honestly don't think that is a valid reason to hate/dislike someone especially us. Marriage is not a race, this is not a race who gets married first or goes to the altar first, its about the joining of a union and bond between 2 individuals who love and care deeply for one another. I always thought people were supposed to be happy when someone gets married, but nowadays it seems like a race. It just so happens Erwin and I are READY to make this COMMITMENT and want to start our lives together. We would like a nice traditional Catholic Church Wedding because our FAITH is very strong and helped us grow closer together. I've always wanted a nice party/reception where my guests can enjoy and relax, an event where they can be treated special and feel comfortable and I am happy Erwin is giving me that. Right after Erwin made it official and gave me an engagement ring we already set a date because we were serious about getting married. It wasn't a "promise" ring, but an engagement ring so we can make it official. A ring at first was nice and I really do love my ring, but now that I think about it...I really don't need a ring because he is all I need. All that matters is me and him together loving each other. ♥
