Hiii
My name is Elizabeth, I'm 28 and recently married to George,30,around a week ago. Okay,so let me tell you about my story .
Since I was a kid , I loved watching romance series and imagining having that kind of love ,but as I got older and began listening to other peoples' problems with marriage and divorce, I began losing hope of finding love like that.
Let me tell you a little secret, I used to pray to God ,when I was little, to give me any kind of sign that I'll ever get married and have someone I love. Eventually,I forgot about it until one night, I dreamt of a man wearing a long brown coat and what's shocking is I actually saw his face and it wasn't someone I knew,and I was telling myself in the dream that I liked him.Of course I didn't remember his face when I woke up,but that dream gave me hope and I believe that was a sign from God. And since then I've been writing letters to my future husband, things about my current life as well as things I don't think I'll ever get the courage to tell him in person ,and I planned to give them to him when we get married.But...
Why did I have an arranged marriage ???
Okay,so I kept waiting and I never met anyone I liked and felt a connection with until 27 when my parents decided that an arranged marriage was the solution and I need to get married to their friend's son ASAP. And that's how I met and then married George. We were engaged for a year,so I went out with him a couple of times for the wedding stuff,but there was always someone else present,so we didn't talk a lot until we got married. After the wedding, of course I didn't give him my letters and I couldn't exactly let him touch me, and we functioned as strangers for a few days. I guess he didn't want this marriage either. Then I don't know what came over him ,and one morning after we ate breakfast and he was leaving for work, he actually kissed my forehead and smiled at me before saying " Bye Eli " and leaving... I'm still in shock. I can't even begin to describe what happened to me in that moment. My heart suddenly went crazy and my eyes welled up with tears, I don't know what to do.
Do you think we can fall in love ?
