You see, in this dream there was this tiny princess/fairy that lived on my dresser and her features and clothes were all painted on, much like a figurine. She was beautiful and I loved her, in an innocent 8-year-old sort of way. As the dream goes, one day a bucket of water gets dumped on her, washing off the paint and making her invisible. I search for her but cannot find her. She is forever lost. I woke up in tears from that dream and I can still remember the sadness I felt even to this day.
Fast forward 16 years and you would find me getting ready to marry my dream girl, my fairy princess. I remember being ushered into the sanctuary that day, just prior to the wedding, while the photographer was still busy taking pictures of Keli in her wedding dress at the front of the church. My brother-in-law Rod was with me and he told Keli later that the first words out of my mouth, once I was able to speak, were "She's beautiful". I also remember rushing down the isle just as the wedding finished with Keli on my arm. When we got to the back of the church, the first thing I did was lift her up into a big bear hug. I was so proud to be married to this beautiful woman and amazing friend. Unfortunately I squeezed a bit too hard and popped one of the buttons on the back of her dress. Ooops! ;-)Fast forward another 15 years and Keli and I just celebrated our 15 anniversary. Being married to Keli has been a dream come true. Keli completes me in every way, and I am a much better person with her than I would have ever been without her. Keli is my princess and she has beauty to rival any fairy. Luckily her beauty is waterproof and more than skin deep.
In the last 15+ years we have cried together, laughed together, struggled through some hard times together, played together, planned together, and dreamed together. I'm looking forward to the next 50+ years of experiencing life with my dream girl at my side.
I thank God that I am blessed to be married to my best friend.
I love you Keli.
