You never know what you may find while wishing on a shooting star.
My dearest love,
The choices we make in life are made with reason and one should never regret; I truly believe that. Those choices mold you into who you are today. Keep your eyes and heart open- Be not afraid to realize when something good walks into your life and take that chance.
As you inched your way into my heart, I knew… I knew that there was something special happening. The way you supported me, the way you made me smile, and best yet… the way that I could be myself with you, my true self.
The full moon with that shooting star, the cold night walk was scary and excitable all at the same time. I knew I had to let you know how I felt. As I took one small step, then another, then another, closer to you and you didn’t pull away- well that was amazing. Our first kiss was like fireworks and the way you turned me around and held me so tight was something I will never forget.
I found what I have been looking for, I found my other half, I found the person I was meant to be with. Fate is a funny thing; I never really believed in it before. If you think about it, of all of the circumstances that brought us together- now that is fate. You continue to open my eyes to the wonders and beauty of the world, the wonders of true and complete love.
Our story is just beginning my love; this is our fairytale, our dream come true. I will be with you through it all and ride the ocean waves with you. I promise to stand by you, to support you, to laugh with you, and to make you smile. I promise, I promise I will give all that I am, all that I have. This feeling I have for us, for you, is like nothing else.
I Love you with all my heart and soul and look so forward to our future together.
Dan and I were married November 18, 2013 on Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. A delightful sunny day surrounded by beauty and love (I’m glad my Mother, Sister, and Aunt could share this day with us). We said “I Do”. Two people who found each other that share a passion… The passion of photography. That is our thing- we travel, we capture, we laugh, we explore, we keep our eyes open and see the beauty in areas that we may otherwise overlook.
*Thank you to “Marry Me in Colorado” an elopement service Dan found that fit us perfectly. Visit their website if you would like to have a stress free wedding! Thanks Linda and Kevin! We would also like to thank the photographer-Mark. His work can be seen at –www.MarryMeInColorado.SmugMug.com this is where all of the photo galleries – including ours will be found!!
Beautiful photos and what a handsome husband you have! You are one lucky lady! Love you honey bunny 🙂 Fate is an awesome thing; thank you so very much for you heart-felt and tender words.
🙂
Very sweet words and a wonderful outlook on love. Many years of happiness, love, laughter and joy! Much love to you both.
Thanks Blondie… See you soon!
Beautiful photos and words. Congratulations to you and Dan. Best wishes and hopes for many years of happiness for both of you. 😀
Thank you Joe!
What a beautiful, heartfelt letter. Thanks for sharing it with us! In a world with so many negative stories, it’s uplifting to hear a true love story. Your priority was that you wanted to get married, not have a wedding. How refreshing!
To a life of love, laughter, and lenses (hee hee). 🙂
Thanks Karen! Love your last statement 🙂 I might just use that one again!
Beautiful words and photos. Congratulations!
Thank you!
This is so beautiful. Congratulations, Cynthia, to you and Dan for a long and happy life together! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks jane!
what a wonderful post Cynthia…such beautiful heartfelt words…congratulations to both you and Dan! Best wishes for always! PS…awesome photos…. 🙂
Thank you!
The beauty of your words matches the beauty of your images and the love you have found in Dan. Congratulations, Cyndie!
Thank you Audrey!
Beautiful! No other way to describe this… the perfect letter to describe love, and companionship. Congratulations! Best wishes for a very happy married life.
Thank you!
Congrats you two! There is nothing better in life than finding someone you can enjoy it with. 🙂
🙂 Thank you!
Congratulations and much happiness to you and Dan, Cynthia! Your photos are beautiful. I only have one question: if you are both photographers, who helps you schlepp your gear the way my darling, patient husband does LOL ?????!!!!!
Thank you Tina. We both will carry our gear but I would have to say that he is more often the gentleman and will take on extra loads if he sees that I am struggling. I also would have to say that he watches out for me as I tend to become absorbed in what I am shooting at the time. However, he is the only one that has fallen through an old rickety floor 🙂
Kevin and I are thrilled for both of you. and love you both so much. Love and happiness for all the rest of your lives!
Thank you so much Connie and Kevin- We love you too!
I feel the same about my wife. We now are together for forty three years. May you have the same experience. Good luck, Barry
It is good to hear about true love…
Came across your blog on Freshly Pressed. Gorgeous photos…..congrats!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much – it was quite an honor!
Reminds me of our own beginnings back in 1970, now 43 years later in Windsor and Greeley, Colorado.
May those “beginnings” never end 🙂 Colorado is a beautiful state. Congratulations on your 43 years!
Love your photos…especially the North Dakota ones! I grew up in ND but moved to Colorado nearly 5 years ago now. Congratulations on your marriage…Sprague Lake is where my husband and I were married 2 and a half years ago…what an awesome place!! I am excited to keep up with your photos…
Colorado holds the other half of my heart- Beautiful state! Sprague Lake was absolutely stunning, I’m sure we will be back.
Cyndie, this is a beautiful post. Wow. How amazing. The photos are gorgeous too, but you really blew me away with your words. I’m so happy for you both.
Thanks Kris!

Wishing you much happiness in the years ahead. I was also lucky enough to find the “right one”. We had 43 lovely years together before he passed away.
Thank you so much! I would also like to say… so sorry for your loss.
