A bit about us, 3 days before we marry...


Recommended Posts

I am about to take a very scary, important step in my life. When I entered Leighs contest I had to stop and think about the importance of us, Everton and I not Leigh and I, lol. Well other lucky couples were chosen (congratulations and good luck to all of them) but I thought why not before E and I get married share our story with all of you, my friends, anyway.

This is what I have already shared with Leigh, and now you. Everton and I are the real thing, we are a real life love story, it will allow all of you to truly know who we are~

 

Everton and I are people born to very different lives, I lived my life in the suburbs in Canada, Everton grew up in the mountains of Jamaica. We have 5 children, Nicole, 19, Kenda, 15, Timothy, 12, Bria, 11, & Liam, 5. We are marrying each other in a ceremony with our children, and wittnessed by our friends and family on August 14th, 2007, in Dominican Republic. We met after our divorces, both afraid of a new relationship, but we felt enough of a connection with one another that we decided to see where things took us. I was a mother of three, my oldest child born with spina bifida, Everton was a father of a 3 year old little girl. We slowly fell in love, then we introduced our children to one another. We merged our housholds with many little hiccups along the way, 4 children, different cultures, & our very busy lives made for a interesting houshold. Our lives were happy and blessed, we decided to add to our large brood. With plenty of trying, a few failures, and a little heartache, our beautiful Liam was born.

 

Liam has connected our family to one another in ways that I never expected. He was pure joy, our children were madly in love with this new little being, and they now felt a new sense of committment to one another.

 

Everton asked me to marry him while pregnant with Liam, I was a little scared of marriaage, told him I loved him, and we would talk about it after our baby was born. Life went on I didn't think of marriage often but Everton did, I always thought our timing was not right, and I felt married to him already any way.

 

Life moves forward, and many tragedies touch our lives. We almost lose Liam when he is 18 months old, airlifted to the hospital, 10 days in a coma, Everton kept our hope strong for both of us, he carried me through this awful ordeal. A year later Everton's dad get's cancer, I kept Everton's hope strong, I carried him through this, his dad beats cancer, we felt lucky. 6 months later Everton's younger sister, dies suddenly of a blood clot during her pregnancy. Everton falls apart, I pick him up, I love him harder then I ever knew I could, we get through this heartache. Time moves forward and my daughter Nicole neads a surgery to straighten her spine. This decision has changed our lives. Nicole's surgery went horribly wrong. A 9 hour surgey turns into 16 hours, 2 weeks in the hospital turns into 9 months, my daughter can no longer walk, feel her right side, roll over on her own. My life belongs to Nicole, we must move, attend therapy daily, I must help her with all her day to day needs. Everton takes over in the home, takes care of my children, and of me so I am able to care for Nicole. Life is hard, we have trouble finding the joy.

 

Everton has supported me, loved me and physically taken care of my daughter, when I am unable to. He carries her where she can't go, he works hard to give her everything we need, and so I am able to stay home and care for Nicole, and my other children.

 

In the middle of all of this heartache, my father dies. My dad was my rock he was everything to me, I am broken by the death of my dad.Everton let's me crash, holds me tight , and then picks me back up and gives me the support I need to find my way back.I don't know how I would have got through anything without his calm, steady, resolve that we can get through anything.

 

I have to admitt during this time, marriage was not on my mind, life was too crazy. Then one night, not to long ago, my daughter was being very sick as she often is. I was tired, I headed to Nicole's room to help her and when I got there, Everton was already there. I watched him. Everton was brushing my daughter hair off her face, holding the bowl while she was being ill, and had placed a cool wash cloth on her head. When she was finished he took that bowl emptied it, washed it out, and wiped that bowl dry, before bringing it back to her. It was in this moment I knew that I had to marry this man who had asked me almost everyday, for the past 5 years, to marry him. It was in his actions, how he cared for our family that I knew his love, strength, and resolve for us. I could wait for the perfect time to marry him, but I realized that there is no perfect time, that there is just Everton, the perfect person for me.

 

So there is really no great romantic story to be told just a story that is real, and full of love, support, and respect. A story that tells the tale of people who will enter into a marriage with eyes wide open.

 

We have learned many things in our years together. It is very easy to love one another in the happy times, it is much more difficult to sustain that love during the sad times something we have fought and worked hard to do.

 

 

“Will you love her, comfort her/him, honour and keep her/him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joyâ€

 

 

The words above are words that we had never really thought about before we started talking about marriage. It is funny however that when reading these traditional wedding vows, we both realized that this is exactly how we have been living our lives everyday, and every moment, since we committed to loving one another so many years ago. We have loved one another, we have comforted one another, honoured, and kept one another in our sickness, in our families sickness, in our childrenâ€s sickness, in our sadness, in our families sadness, in our childrenâ€s sadness, we have comforted one another in the death of our uncle, sister, father. We have been poor, we are always rich, we have seen better, and we have lived through worse. We are thankful for our health, and we have much joy. We are blessed that we found each other, we are each others support, we are each others best friend we are each otherâ€s future.

Kelly, your story made my cry, a little for the sadness, and a little for the comfort you both have been to each other since the day you met. I think you two are wonderful people. Continue to be each other's rocks and carry each other like you have done. I wish you all the best.

Oh Kelly, again with the tears! I am crying because all you guys have been through and for all you have overcome together. I am glad Everton has been a rock for you, and you for him. Love like that is so hard to find. He sems like a great man. I am glad you finally said yes (and I am sure he is too!)!

Your wedding is going to be amazing...and not because you are getting married in Jamaica, but because it is real. Real love.

I wish you many, many more years of joy and happiness together....

    • Just finished building and was lost on heating... [url=https://rjadom.ru/]this site[/url] helped a lot with practical examples.
    • [b]Сайт Кракен – лучшая торговая площадка Даркнета [/b] Сервис Kraken – лучший магазин Даркнета, где продаются разные позволяющие расслабиться препараты, фальшивые документы и деньги, можно заплатить за доступ к чужим личным данным и аккаунтам. Клиентам обеспечивается полная анонимность, а количество магазинов всё время растёт. [b]Покупки на Кракене[/b] На Кракене можно найти такие предложения: • Несколько видов наркотиков – от марихуаны и стимуляторов до ЛСД и кокаина. • Обналичка Bitcoin. • Взломанные аккаунты ВПН. • Услуги хакеров. • Паспорта, удостоверения, водительские права. • Банковские карты и симки. • Фальшивые купюры – в основном, 1000, 2000 и 5000 руб.. • Оборудование и приборы – от скрытых камер и жучков до флешек для взлома. На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
