Anna and Tom’s story starts
back in college. Anna says, “I remember seeing him walk through the door and
thinking he was really cute and later in the evening we got to talking…” Tom similarly recalls, “I do vividly recall
seeing Anna standing in the corner of the room when I walked in and her being
notably beautiful.”
Now, many stories start this
way, and don’t go anywhere. So, what causes some couples to start this way, and
at some point say, in the words of Jason Mraz and Meghan Trainor duet, “I wanna
be more than friends…”
In Tom and Anna’s case, it
might sound prosaic, but I believe it is anything but that. Just listen to Tom:
“The day that my love for her really hit home was when we were just lying on
the couch at her parents’ house on a Saturday afternoon. I noticed that I was
just as happy doing absolutely nothing with her as I had been going out… and
being constantly busy with friends in college.”
Love at first sight, if
there is such a thing, infatuation, the flying of sparks, the crashing of
lightning can be interesting, but that is not what love is all about. True love
is being content with just being in each other’s presence, with nary a word
spoken.
And what brings about such
deep feelings, that make you want to spend the rest of your life with that
person? Anna tells us: “I am confident I want to marry Tom because he is a
genuinely wonderful person and truly cares about others. That kindness is
evident all the time in our relationship because of how he tries to make me
happy every day.”
Is it any surprise that Tom
says, “I cannot be more thrilled to have the opportunity to get married… and
start a life with the woman that I love.” And, perceptively he adds, “She’s way
more attractive than me, so I know I have to lock it down soon.” Nuff said!
