The Knight's Quest
When I think about my love - I of course reflect on all of the wonderful qualities he possesses.
When I try to relay that to others, I have a 'story' I share - the women in the audience may appreciate this more...I hope you will ALL see just how special he is...
When we ordered our invitations, we forgot to order cards that told our guests about our reception's location etc.
We had gotten through about 40 of our 50 invites (and yes he helped with EVERY ONE), they were completed AND SEALED, when I gasped and freaked out - realising our mistake. Nonplussed, my love put together a reception card on the computer. We then went to Kinko's where he picked out an almost exact match to the stationery we had in our invite. He gave the person at Kinko's the file, explained how he wanted it printed up. He took the batch, cut the cards so we had one to go with each invite (and some extra) - and he went home and STEAMED OPEN EVERY SINGLE ENVELOPE so we could put the reception cards in....
Yeah.
The other night over gaming with our friends (we play a role-playing game that is patterned after the story of Camelot) - one of the game's features is tasks/quests that the knights are assigned. Knights who are betrothed are assigned tasks in order to get married. I relayed to the group my fair knight's quest.
Today at the impromptu party the girls here threw for me, I told the story to them - to a woman (and even one of the guys) they were all duly impressed.
There are many reasons that I am madly, passionately in love with Erin - why I want to marry him - but the greatest one is the fact that he is a marvel to me, that he is so willing to step up to the plate, that he has 'arrived' and is self-actualized. We will have trials, ups and downs - but there is no one on earth I would rather face life with than my fair knight, Sir Erin.

Dragons, wolves, and monsters innumerable, I've written of these things before. I am ready to take on your great quests. I go by SirErin for many reasons. Chivalry being the most obvious.
I love you Colleen. I am ready.
