Pg 13 - HOW IN THE HELL DID WE GET HERE Part V

 A LOVE STORY - SHAMAL & DUSTY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(HOW IN THE HELL
DID WE GET HERE

Part V)

            THAT IS HOW I FELT 
AFTER ONLY TWO CENTURIES 
OF 
IMMIGRATION MADNESS...
where your best friend is the buzzsaw 
you are tied in front of and it is 
humming along toward 
your prone adorableness.
Sorta like being tied to the railroad track
and watching the
train barreling toward you.

SIGH!
 

Ok, so after several weeks of 
Immigration attorneys, 
organizations, 
endless reading...
and wishing euthanasia was 

legal 
and could be self-administered, 
I got into a rut.

You know the kind. You look up over 
the walls and try to discern daylight 
as the lifeforce within you seeps away.

 

KEWL?

UH NO!

Shamal and I were using the time we have
wisely of course...to keep increasing 
our knowledge base of each other, 
and spending as many hours a day 
with each other as possible.
 

That is critically important for 
OUR 

selfish interests as a couple,
but it is also critically important
(I figured with the little
immigration knowledge I had 
up to this point) or will be when U.S. Immigration starts looking at us to determine whether it is true that the 
reason we want to bring Shaamy to the U.S. 
is so that he and I can be together 

as a happy loving couple... 
FOREVER.

WHICH IS TRUE of course, 
but one has to prove it and 
we are after all talking about 
U.S. government bureaucrats here. 

 

So while all this was going on, 
I came across an article about 
a couple of women...
one from the U.S. and the other 
ironically from Pakistan who were also 
in the same situation as Shaamy and I,
and who decided they didn't want to 
wait to get married so they didn't.

WEELY?
So that afternoon, I happened to 

mention the article to Shaamy...
thinking I was merely talking about 
something interesting 
but when I did 
IMMEDIATELY
I HEARD HIM GO...

 

"YEH? THAT'S KEWL.

YEH YEH. 
LET'S DO IT. LET'S DO IT."

Ok, now I had heard this song before.
LOL. 

(Lord give me strength. 
This one gets a bit rowdy on occasion."

"Uh, really?"

"YEH YEH."

"You want to get married NOW?"

"YEH YEH, 

I LOVE YOU. I wanna BE with you and I don't wanna have to wait to be with you, so...

WHY WOULDN'T I?"

"Well, let's see. 

There is this little matter of, 

and that...and,"

However I felt it prudent to 

only think that and not say it. 

and see THIS wedding would have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with immigration policies or law or anything.

 

The wedding after he gets here yes, but

NOT this one. THIS would be JUST for us.

He seemed to want this really bad, he had gotten SO excited...and obviously so, and it seemed to me without my saying so that he was a bit insecure about me...he wanted to make DAMN SURE he locked me down tight. LOL.

Well this would do it, but I hadn't known we even could DO this, and he didn't either. Only a weird coincidence caused me to find that article...or was it merely an accident.

 

Maybe not, but that is a discussion for another time. He kept hinting this was the work of Allah. More likely the handiwork of MY MOTHER...LOL, bless her.

  

Sigh.
"Uh...ohhhhh kay.

I don't know HOW to do this but..."

and I didn't. So for anyone to say
I engineered this wedding at this point
is totally delirious. I didn't even know
how to do it, cause that article hadn't
spelled out how those women had actually
done it. Only that they had.)

Then, later that day I was talking to 
a friend and again only 
mentioning this, but he said...

"I own an event planning company 

you know, AND I am also an 
ordained minister."

First fact I knew. Second I didn't. 

He asked me to let him start looking 
into it and he would get back to me.

OK HOWDY!

I had thought I simply 
would write our vows. 
Then Shamal and I would get on 
Yahoo Messenger 
and then that would be that. 

WE WOULD BE 
TAKING OUR VOWS, 

which IS a legal contract. 

Just no flower girl, but hey.

I have written more than my share of
contracts and can do it in my sleep, but
I did make sure to follow proper contract
law. Taking NO chances was I. Because HE
wanted to make sure it was gonna be legally binding and so did I....and IT IS. TRUST ME
We are as married as ANYONE.

 

So, as most of our friends already 
know, Marq BLESS HIS HEART

did get us GO TO MEETING 
for a venue...
which is like an avenue 
without all them pesky cars.

Another friend did the music

(he is a wonderful jazz singer 
from Washington DC),

and we just did it up 
on October 5, 2013.

I can tell you this was a trip.

In fact it still is a trip.

Like all marriages, he and I have our ups and downs. Everyone does.

I just figure we keep at it until the ups far outweigh the downs.

 

Boo and I are continuing to learn 
each other more and more every day. 

We are deeper and deeper 
in love each day too and I can hear it 
in his voice and I know he sees 
and hears my love for him 
right back at him, too. 

I can FEEL it. 
I can FEEL his passion 
and his heart,

and it makes me shiver 
every time he says he loves me.

REALLY!

This has been quite a ride and 
it is far from over, but I love the 
direction we are heading in.

TRULY!

I just wanted to share a bit of it 

with you and as more of it unfolds 
I shall share it all to be sure.

ALL I KNOW at this point is...

I love Shamal. With every thing I got

and I KNOW he feels the same for me

and it is and feels WONDERFUL.

He is without question unique.

OMG, yes...
and while it is REALLY frustrating 
not to BE together yet, 
I know we will be. 
Period. 

Because as he has already proved,
he is not willing to settle for a life 
without me and God knows 
I ain't either.

THIS FEELS LIKE 
FOREVER 
FOR US,
CAUSE THIS IS...

FOREVER...

FOR US.

That's the way it is for Shamal and me,
and that suits both of us JUST FINE.
