What can I say? It's been busy, so I have not been keeping an eye on the board... but the date is stil (gasp, choke) the 18th... I fly out on thursday, and stay with her brother until Sunday, then...
Oh well, it's my first mariage, her second, and I'm satisfied. Nervous? wel, I've made it 41 years w/o marriage, so this is a big step. Also, Luisa (mi prometida) is right for me... I did not usa a matchmaker, and met her thru friendfinders... no more testimonial needed, I think.
So... in my upcoming wedding, let me wax philosophical (I think it's better than hyperventilating): Why did I look outside the US for a wife?
I didn't want to find some 18 year old hottie ( okay, I wanted to, but reality set in... a short, chubby, balding older guy (i.e. myself) IS NOT going to attract some teenaged beauty with my looks... and it's easier to be a father figure than a novio to an 18 year old.
I did want to find someone with a sense of adventure. Any woman willing to relocate to a country she has only visited, in which she will not speakthe language, and where she knows few people, has a sense of adventure, and has a strong personality also.
I wanted to find somewone that thought like I do about religious/spiritual matters. I'm trying to pick words carefully here-- I live in Alabama, and I'm not a fan ofparts of the culture here, religious or social culture. Thus, finding someone with similar views was simply not an option here.
I could say more, but don't want to bore you-- So! enough of my rambles... time to go hyperventilate,I suppose.
