If I had to pick a day in my life that I felt happier than I do right now, I would probably struggle immensely to come up with one. Perhaps the only the day that could even come close would be the day my beautiful wife got down on one knee, the brightest smile on her face, a glimmer of a tear in her eye and proposed. Today I officially married the love of my life.
Jade is perfect for me. I know all newlyweds say this but I seriously mean it. We're opposites, but somehow we fit. And when I made my vows this morning to protect her and love her, I meant them with every fibre of my being. And I know I will keep those vows for the rest of my life.
To be honest, I didn't need to get married to know I meant my vows. Jade and I are 27 years old. We've been living together since we were 23 and our relationship is completely steady. We live together in a large bohemian style house in the Hollywood Hills and we both have amazing jobs in the arts. The industry we grew up in and always loved. I achieved my dream of becoming a world famous pop singer and Jade writes songs, stories, and directs movies. You could say - we made it.
But if anyone tried to argue with me that our lives have been easy I would probably have to hit them over the head with something very hard, except I know I wouldn't have to because Jade would be there ten times faster - most likely with scissors.
In fact I don't even know how I'm getting away with writing this because my beautiful wife already warned me that if I dare spend any of our honeymoon writing in this stupid journal of mine then she'd pull the scissors out. But luckily she's sleeping like a baby. We're honeymooning in Puerto Rico in a luxury villa with a private beach, completely secluded from everyone. The scent of sand, chocolate and Jade's factor 50 suncream is filling the air and I can feel my heart melting every few minutes just overwhelmed by how in love I am with the woman asleep next to me.
I always said I didn't need to get married. It's a stupid, archaic tradition that, lets be honest, has not always been very welcoming to same-sex couples. But when I saw Jade in her wedding dress, long dark hair tousled down her back, I knew I wouldn't regret our decision to get married for a second. She is just so beautiful.
The ceremony was small because we only wanted out close friends and family present. Of course Andre, Cat, Robbie and Beck were there. Despite what people might think, Jade and Beck are still incredibly close. They've known each other since childhood and they're best friends. In fact, after everything we've been through these past few years, I consider Beck one of my best friends too. Like I said, the years leading up to this point have not been easy and Beck has been a rock in both of our lives.
We got married in a serene secluded section of woodlands close to our old school. We've spent a lot of time there over the years and it means a lot to both of us, which is why we chose to marry each other there. The weather was warm but a cool breeze ran through the trees and made them rustle and slightly blow our hair around. We took photographs and had lunch with the guests before Jade and I escaped to catch our plane for our honeymoon. The moment was a complete blur of happiness, emotion and above all love.
I couldn't have imagined sharing our special day with anyone else. Our friends and family have been the kindest, most supportive, forgiving and loyal people even when it seemed like we were at rock bottom. They were there to help. And thankfully because we knew everyone so well the one question that most couples enjoy to answer. How did you two first get together? Did not come up. But it got me thinking, when we were on the plane. That maybe we should talk about our story. About the dark times. There was a point in our lives we thought we'd never make it this far and not because we didn't want to be together. I've never fallen out of love with Jade. But her story is a little more complicated than mine. And although my story intertwines with hers, I could never imagine how she felt, I don't want to know how she felt. But I know how I felt and I have the story right here in my hand.
So with my left hand running through Jade's soft hair, both of us happier than ever before. I will tell you this story. I will warn you now that it isn't a happy story. Okay there's a happy ending, we get here don't we? This is the happy ever after. But getting here was the hardest thing we as a couple had to go through. Jade as a person had to go through. It's not a happy story. But it's one that I think should be told.
