The Happiest 4th of July
12 years ago
Hope everyone had a good 4th of July. Mine was better than normal, to say the least.
So, I made a post on my Facebook, but for those who still watch my account here but don't have my Facebook information, I'll share it here, too.
I've been with
hunterwolf for a long time, now. Five years in October. In all that time, he's always stood by me and supported me, and we've cared for and supported each other. Needless to say, my life would be much more drab and unfortunate if I did not have him in it. Hunter and I have always been very comfortable with ourselves, each other, and our relationships, and that's one of the reasons I love him so much. He sees me for all that I am, and he accepts me, with all my flaws, quirks, and shortcomings.
With the recent overturning of DOMA in the Supreme Court, the idea of a federally-recognized same-sex marriage is a much more real possibility, even if it may still be a long way off, considering the speed of our legislative system. Marriage is something Hunter and I have discussed off and on for a couple years now, but it's always been something of a fantasy, a "someday" dream. But now, it seems like it's something much closer... So much more real. And last night, in bed, I was thinking about Independence Day as the clock ticked past midnight, and the freedom that same-sex couples now have to pursue a marriage with the person they love. Not a civil union. Not a domestic partnership. A real marriage.
At that moment, something hit me. Hunter and I have always just sort of assumed that we'd get married some day. We never worried about the when or how of it, but it was just a given thing that we both accepted. But last night, that suddenly wasn't enough. We were faced with it, the possibility of it becoming a real thing, and just going with it wasn't enough for me. So, last night, somewhere around 12:30 in the morning on the 4th of July, I jumped out of bed, dropped to one knee, and asked Hunter if he would marry me. He hardly needed to take any time at all before he said "Yes".
Hunter has been my mate in the fandom for a long time now, and not even the only one I have. But in the real world, he's only ever been my boyfriend, or my partner. And until very recently, that's all he ever could be. But now... Hunter is my fiancee. And someday, he will be my husband. And I know that I don't ever want to spend a day without him in my life, for as long as I live.
I love you, Hunter, so very much. And I always will. Thank you for choosing me.
