This is part of my 31 Day Five Minute Free Writes challenge within a challenge. I will be linking up with 31 Day Challenge at The Nester's as well as at Heading Home. For a list of all my letters you can go here.Dear Richard:
It was so important to you that we become united. I cannot count how many times you asked me to be your wife. Seventeen years we were together before I finally caved in. I've never been sorry. In the beginning of our relationship you were okay with us just living together, but the longer we did the more you wanted to become man and wife. It didn't matter to me. I felt that we were already committed to each other. But you were worried about the financial aspect of the whole relationship. So I guess you could say I married you for money. That was always our joke, wasn't it? I know that your mother was happy the day you took me to her house and introduced me as your wife. She thought we were joking. We had to produce the marriage license. She was so sweet. I miss her too. But now you are there with both your mom and dad. Reunited! I look forward to the day we will reunite. Because it wasn't just until death do us part; but for now and ever after.
I love you!
Forever,
Paula
I think it is neat, Paula, that Richard just didn't settle for living together but wanted that commitment of a marriage :)
