Final Breakaway

My marriage of circumstance is proving to be the recipe to happily ever after.

Sometimes when you meet your person, you immediately click and all the pieces of your life fall into place. Instant best friends. Platonic soulmates. Hockey buddies and vacation partners.

And sometimes, you don't even know you've fallen in love.

When a joke about marrying my best friend is taken seriously, we embark on making it happen. I mean, Etna makes a strong argument for marriage even though it was my teasing idea so who am I to argue? For seven months, we hurdle toward a wedding and a life together that allows us to be best friends forever.

Our days are filled with sexy banter, awkward first times, too many decisions to make, and the promise of a life that leaves me breathless. I'm marrying my best friend. What could be better than that?
