I got married on February 18th, 2020 to my best friend. We had a small, intimate wedding ceremony in my childhood home, with our family and closest friends. It was everything I'd ever dreamed of.
If 2 years ago you would have told me that I would be writing these lines, I'd tell you that you have lost it.
I know that as fans we feel like we all have a true connection with Taylor but to say she writes the soundtrack of my life is an understatement, it is more than that. Every album has represented a chapter in my life and Lover was not the exception, when the album came out I was completely and utterly in love with Carlos.
Lover first dance was our wedding song and Daylight is our story, theres not way I can listen to Taylor singing "I once believed love would be black and white, but it's golden" without tears in my eyes, because let me tell you, it truly is golden.
I, like Taylor, used to think that love was RED, that it meant fighting and then making up kissing in the rain, screaming, feeling like you can not live without that person, just getting so lost in the emotion that nothing else matters, but I was far from the truth. Surely love is exciting, and it makes you wanna dance with no music and scream for no reason, but it makes you feel safe and most importantly at peace.
My husband (its unreal to even write that word) is my best friend, he's kind, smart, funny, a great son, a true friend and overall the most understanding guy I have ever met. We get along extremely well and I know that no matter what the future holds, I want him to be nothing but happy, because he deserves it, he's a good man and I'm lucky and blessed that we found out way to each other.
Mary's song is probably one of my favorites songs by Taylor, I used to day dream about having a childhood love and marrying him, well Carlos and I met when I was 13 and he was 15, he told me he had a crush on me the very first day we met, and it wasn't til 13 years later that we started dating. So I think in a way I had my own Mary's song.
I can tell you with my heart on my slave that when love arrives, it is easy, it is tender, it won't second guess and it will definitely WONT make you feel like "maybe youre not worth it" or "maybe you're too much".
Thank you @taylorswift for writing my story for the past 13 years.
