DH and I on our wedding day…we were married in Vegas hence the casual attire! Journaling reads:<p>It’s not often that second chances come along…Once in a blue moon, you get a “do over” - an opportunity to make right what you once did wrong. Carlos and I got that opportunity when we met each other. We both had relationships in the past that we’d rather forget. Marriages that perhaps never should have happened. At the time, we both thought we were doing the right thing. Marriage was the next logical (expected) step in our long term relationships…anyway, this isn’t about our mistakes; it’s about our success.<p>Neither one of was looking for a relationship - at least not anytime soon. Our divorces were relatively recent and the last thing on our minds was jumping into another relationship! Maybe this commonality was one of the many thing that drew us to each other. The relationships we gave up, the circumstances of our meeting, the hurdles we had to overcome to finally be in a place we wanted to be, together…all the obstacles led us to this point. We have a strong, loving relationship that continues to amaze me and fulfill me.<p>I think a lot of the credit for our success goes to our families. Despite recently nursing us through failed marriages and the speed of our courtship, they never questioned our love. If it were me looking in from the outside, I would have questioned the need to act so impulsively - what’s the hurry?? Instead of doing what I would have instinctively done, they trusted our instincts and fully supported our decision to be together. Even more importantly, each of was welcomed into our new families so warmly - no hesitancy, no mistrust. We are fortunate indeed. Now, as I look back, I realize that our first marriages, while ending unpleasantly, weren’t necessarily mistakes and while I don‘t necessarily want to remeber all the details, I certainly don‘t want to forget the important lessons I leanred. We both learned so much about what we need in a partner. We learned what traits we require in a mate and which traits we will not accept. We learned communication is so integral to a successful marriage. Since marrying, we’ve learned to appreciate the importance of acting on your desires. We learned not to rely on popular thinking but instead to rely on your heart’s wishes and the love of your family. We learned to take advantage of second chances because nothing in life is guaranteed and third chances are even more rare…<p>.
