Yes, dreams do come true and here's mine -> [View all]

Throughout my life I never thought I'd find the perfect woman for me. Well, on Sept 27, 1991, I did. My Mom loved her as well as the rest of my family. I only dreamed of finding 'her', marrying her and having our honeymoon at my favorite place - the Catskills. Well they all came true. We said our first vows on May 8, 1993 here In Flar-dee-DUH but, of course, we weren't 'legally' married. So we did research and found a woman in Canada who helped us arrange a full-fledged marriage. My sister and her husband graciously agreed that our honeymoon would take place at their farm - which I felt was "home". So on May 8, 2004 we were "legally" married in Ottawa, Ontario. The next day we drove back to the farm and had the very best honeymoon I could ever imagine with our loving family.

Here we are, twenty-three years after falling in love with my dream gal, the state we live in will recognize our marriage at 1 minute after midnight tonight. Dreams DO come true!! Last year was a totally horrific year for me but hopefully this new year will be much better.

Billie Garcia and I want to thank all involved in making this happen.
