It's hard to believe that we're both going to be married.
It was only 4 years ago that I met Yee See. It was not love at first sight as most tend to believe. We met at my ex-college mate's wedding committee meeting. I remembered the first time I saw her... it wasn't a very flattering picture, oily skin, messy hair, runny nose and not to mention the weird dressing.
Totally not my type.
We were paired up pretty quickly for the wedding dance practices. I remembered the awkward moments when we held hands. I thought,
"This girl... dunno how to hold hands... never had a boy friend before issit? -_-''
It wasn't until a couple of more dance practices that she opened up a bit. I could see that she was starting to feel a lot more comfortable, but still, we didn't talk much. I thought the epic age gap was to be blamed as there wasn't anything much that we could talk about. If you're looking for any chemistry at this point in time, there's zero. Besides, I wasn't interested in her romantically. Well, not yet at least.
I thought to myself, there's no way am I going to go out with this girl even if there was any slight interest. It's just impossible and of course, not practical. We're talking about a 7 years age gap here. Scandalous dating a college kid :D
Who knew that God had an awesome plan for the both of us.
After the wedding, we kept in touch through Skype, Facebook and Twitter. It wasn't until she followed me on Twitter that I got interested. I mean, back there not many people heard of Twitter.
That pique my interest a little.
I also got to know how close she is with her dad and the amazing relationship they have.
That pique my interest a little more.
Off and on we'll be in contact over the phone, SMS, Skype ... but most of the time she would be the one initiating them. Well, I was only interested in being friends, nothing more.
There was this one occasion that I was driving out for a meeting and I got an SMS from her saying that she had prayed for me. That action was all it took for me to decide that this girl was worth pursuing.
God really opened by eyes. I began to see her differently. I think she prayed very hard hahahahaha ... Seriously, everything about her suddenly became attractive. Things that I've never noticed, I've began to notice. Everything that I had secretly prayed for in a life partner was in front of me all along.
We've had our ups and downs, but every experience was worth it. Looking back, I could had missed this girl, glad I didn't.
