It was a holiday weekend, and I actually met John at Blockbuster one night that my former beau had stood me up. It was fate and we just naturally hit it off. We went to a little beach bar together and spent hours talking about our heritage, Ireland, each other, and found so very many similarities that we had to see each other again. I was stood up by the old beau again the following 2 days (and nights) so John invited and I accepted. We were destined to be together. He was into Highland games and wears a kilt of his family tartan, I introduced him to faire and the pirating has just evolved. We're getting married this weekend at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire faire, in fact, and we will be wearing pirate garb! Huzzah to the high seas together~
