The Officer & the Captain
A loving marriage
Heather was very successful, she graduated at the Top of her class and she landed the job of her dreams from an internship as a Corporate Executive to CEO. After sometime, she thought to herself after talking to her grandparents for a longtime, she longed for what they had.
She was successful and now she was perfect for marriage. She looked and searched on all the dating sites. This taking her months and she dated men that interest her. She jokingly told her struggles to the postal man and they enjoyed each other company. And this went on for awhile. Until one day she asked the postal man what he thought about her dating life and he gave her a real insightful perspective, she was shocked and asked him out. George said let's go to the Town's Cafe where there's a park that we can walk and talk. Heather agreed and laughed like she never did before. The date was dreamy and the sun was just right. George asked Heather to marry him, he told her he was a retired U.S. Captain and will protect her with his life if he has to.
Heather screamed yes and he carried her to the car from the park.
It happened Heather told her family about him and they were glad she found love. At the huge wedding, Heather was late and George was worried. When she finally came she overheard her bride's maids making fun of her and her husband to be. Those hurtful words and their laughter made her run to George. And George dressed left the wedding with her. And she asked him do you trust me. He agreed then she said let's do it alone in the courthouse before a judge. They did and then they showed up in church celebrating with friends and family. And kicking the unruly bridesmaids out of their celebrations.
