Hush and I are getting married in one week. Friday the 13.
I’ve written three different posts about Hush explaining who he is, how we met, where he came from and the story of our romance.
None of the posts are sitting right.
I just can’t bring myself to take the story of We and make it just that – a story. A good romantic tale for others to either be amused and smile or look for holes and criticize.
I’ve lived my life online and told my story for six years now. I’ve chronicled my successes and failures, my children’s births and life highlights.
But I don’t want to tell you anything about Hush because he’s mine, our story is mine, and to discuss it in this format would feel like trivializing something very close to my heart. How does one spell out tenderness? How could I quantify love?
“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold” – even Zelda Fitzgerald admits defeat in the face of adequately writing love.
So I’m not even going to try.
I apologize, but our story belongs to us and I’m not giving it away for free.
"I'm Your Man"
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

Very wise move.

I know it is none of my business and I respect your story, but an I just admit that I do follow your stories and enjoy them very much. I'll consume whatever you put out
If not the whole story, and I respect your reasons for wanting to keep parts of your life for yourselves, how about just some facts? Maybe just how and when you met. Maybe something more you'd feel comfortable sharing. For those of us who have shared your ups and downs here, and are genuinely happy for you in this new beginning of "happily ever after", we'll take a few crumbs if we can't have the whole cake. Regardless of what you decide, I wish you and your children a lifetime of joy and happiness.
Maybe the short version? The quickie answer to "so, how did you two meet?"
This post makes me so happy for you. As much as I'd love to hear your story, I love even more that you're keeping it for yourself. I get it. It's crazy romantic. Congratulations! I hope your wedding is amazing!
So happy for you guys. Regardless of the post content we feel your happiness and peace with where life is right now. We are thrilled for you. You deserve a good long stretch of peace, love, and happiness. Good luck this week. Let the all of us local gals know if we can help with any prep.
I like it! Marie
