A Penny For My Thoughts

What An Amazing Future There Will Be

By Paul Wein

In less than 30 hours, I am going to do something I never thought I would do – again. I will give my heart and soul away in a way I never thought was possible – again. I will stand next to a woman and declare my love once more in front of my friends, colleagues, family and loved ones…

…for in less than 30 hours – I will get married.

I must confess that I have jitters, not about marrying my soon to be beautiful blushing bride, but just hope that all goes well – and without a hitch. What freaks me out is that – in my dreams – I have been haunted by all those that came before her – but despite their unconscious efforts – I know she is the one for me.

Between Lis (my first wife) and Julie – I have dated dozens of women – and promised them forever. This time, however, I am actually giving forever away. By tomorrow afternoon, Julie will be my wife…

…and I can’t wait.

I have already written my vows, and between me and Julie working around the clock – everything on our wedding checklist is completed. We have worked so hard to make sure that this wedding goes off without a hitch – and here we are – on the brink of that special day – and all is well…

…but I wonder.

Why Julie? Why not Mary? or Crystal? or L-Bomb? or dozens more that came my way? Simple – because they were not my Julie. She has a unique way of letting me be myself, putting up with my insane lifestyle – and laughing with me as I joke about anything. More than that, she had an ambition to be a journalist – and now is a co-owner of www.thestarceleb.com – something that makes me very proud.

We have worked so hard the last few weeks and procured everything that we need. In fact, the rehearsal dinner is less than 15 hours away. Her wedding dress has been in her closet for the last month – and while I have never peeked – I have dreamed of seeing her in it…

…and now realize that I will – tomorrow.

As we prepare for arrivals of friends, families, groomsmen and bridesmaids – I can’t help but realize that this is for real. After all the failed relationships, all the times I said I would never get involved with another woman again – and after all the tears I shed over women that have broke my heart – this is the last column I will ever write as a single man…

…and I can’t wait until I write the first one after I am married.

Until tomorrow Julie…

…until forever.
