I have a couple. I would say that this one is my favorite, I wrote back in 2015:
The first time I saw her, I actually didn’t even see her face. It was a little after 1 AM and I was on my way home from work. I decided to go down the beach way so I could see what the nightlife was like. I stepped into a pretty lively after-hours club, as I walked into the club I could see people dancing on the dance floor.
In the center, I could see this girl dancing with a beautiful head of hair. It caught my eye because it shimmered and glowed under the club’s pulsating lights.
I started towards her then remembered that I had classes first thing in the morning and that I really should be getting some sleep, so I reluctantly turned around and walked out of the club.
Three months later, I go into the same club ( I’ve been there several times since always hoping I’d see the girl with the gorgeous hair but never doing so) with my friends and are having drinks. A group of girls sit at the table next to us and my friends start chatting with them. After a few minutes, most of my friends are standing around their table. My friends convince most of the girls to go dancing with them. The rest of them surround the only girl at the table and I can hear them asking her to join the dancing and her polite rejections.
I walk over to the table and put my arms around two of my friends' shoulders and say:
“Come on gentlemen, let’s give the lady some breathing ….” And I finally see her, the shimmering hair girl! I get the guys to pursue other interests and start a conversation with her. We end up chatting until the club closes and we then go have breakfast.
We became fast friends and would go out to enjoy the summer nightlife from time to time. A couple of months later, we took our friendship to the next level and moved in together. About five months after we met, I asked her to marry me and a month later we were wed.
This coming year 2016, will be our twenty-third year together and four beautiful children ( most of whom are in college ) later, she remains the most gorgeous woman I have ever met. I love her more today than I thought I could ever love a person.
