I'm not really a girly girl, I have never dreamt about a big white wedding, probably because I never thought I would meet anyone I would want to share the rest of my life with. I thought I would be a singleton forever. Mauricio Escobar Fernández changed my life forever. I never looked at him as boyfriend material in the beginning. I was not attracted to him at all. We were just friends. But like most Chilean men, he liked the chase and spent almost a year wooing me with poetry and beautiful stories. God that sounds so cheesy and the sort of scenario I would have stuck two fingers down my throat hearing about before.
It did take a good year for me to come round to Mauricio. He was not my type physically at all, but his inner beauty permeated his outer shell and I slowly began to fall in love. I am now deeply in love with my love and I can't imagine a single day without him. He is the complete opposite of me. I am very relaxed and walk around with my head in the clouds, he is serious and very focused. Maybe that is why we fuse so well together. Although he thinks he is macho and likes to portray that to other people, he has a very soft centre and is extremely loving and affectionate.
We have talked about marriage for some time, but we do not have the funds to have a big party or go on an expensive honeymoon. Mauricio has never seen the logic in spending so much money on one day when we have so many other things to save up for. Then it occured to me. Why not use our beautiful place in Laguna Verde to have a ceremony? Our closest family on Mauricio's side and my Mum will be there and we will make the place look beautiful. I am thinking flowers and bunting and our dogs will wear ties and bows. Seriously! O.K. it is not the big white wedding which most girls dream of, however it will be in our special place by the house that we conceived together with all our love. I hope the hummingbirds grace us with their presence. Now that would be perfection.
