in a french Cafe at Vienna ...
"I wasn't even thinking of coffee! She mesmerized me, as I passed by that French Cafe in Vienna, packed with folk the moment I noticed her for the very first time. Of course, I stopped to take a picture, but then couldn't leave, it was like my body was being wrapped in twine.
Now, in somewhat of an awkward daze, I lined up, like a zombie, hoping she wouldn't disappear or have someone join her, ....it seemed like an interminable wait.......and I bought a drink and a pastry, so with my camera I looked overloaded and precariously fragile."
"Actually I simply took a huge deep breath of fresh air and went up to her, still alone by some miracle, (it's a memory I treasure and go to when things challenge us), and asked,
"Would you object, if I joined you?"
That smile was all it took......
....and the rest is our most amazing journey together!"
(Showing off the paired wedding bands).....
"But
this was how it all began!"
