On Valentines Day 2001, Curtis asked me to marry him. The joy we had shared from the first day we met flooded my body at that very moment. "Yes, of course!" To the left are the beautiful tulips he gave me before he got on one knee and presented the ring.
After changing our minds about what kind of wedding we wanted (and the ever growing guest list), Curtis and I decided to just runaway to Jamaica and marry there. It was a wonderful idea that suited both of our tastes. Neither of us are fussy, overly organized people, so the thought of a no-hassle wedding was perfect.
Our week in Jamaica was magical. Not even a tropical storm turned hurricane could dampen the fire in our hearts. For us, this was truly more about our marriage than about our wedding. Too many people confuse the two, concentrating more on the details of their wedding than on the details of their relationship.
