by Mike Rudman

SEASON 8 :) 06/26/2022 to 06/28/2023....Our Wedding Day...YAY!!!!!!

It is time for me to write a story, and now we have known each other for over 5 years....seems like we've known each other forever, for an eternity. It is time for me to write about the greatest girlfriend who has ever walked into my life. :) Tara :).

Tara met me on Plenty Of Fish on June 26, 2015, just 4 days after signing up for Plenty Of fish on June 22, 2015. :) I've been looking on that Plenty Of Fish site for the last 3 years, using the meet me feature and updating my profile on a daily basis. Tara added me to her favorites on Friday Afternoon, June 26 and I thought I would take a chance later that night and write her a message and say hello and introduce myself to her. :) Getting to know each other is great!!!! We have lots in common!!!! Go Phillies!!!!! We both love our Phillies baseball, old school video games like Pac-Man, Tetris, Q-Bert. We also love the old school Classic gameshows like Match Game, Family Feud on the buzzr channel. Tara doesn't have buzzr, but I was so nice to DVD a 6 hour block of the Buzzr channel for her. :) Her favorite is Match Game. :) We both like the Christiana Mall and shopping at Game Stop and Target. We both love the colors blue, green and black. :) Tara :) has been looking to be this happy for so very long for a nice, open minded, patient gentleman who would accept her for her. Tara is truly one of a kind. I look forward to writing even more wonderful adventure stories for me and Tara together and our adventures. Tara deserves to be so very happy after everything she has been through. I already promised her that I would write our names in the sand, the day we hit the beach together.....:) Tara :) and :) Mikey :) 6-26-15 :) GO PHILLIES!!!!!! :) and let her float in the water when we go swimming together, making our own waves and splashing the day away and relaxing together. :):)

All 8 of us together :):):):):):):):) We had such a wonderful time on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 and our check in time was 1:30pm...I didn't know that was me and Tara's wedding time too :):):):) I rode the bus down on this very beautiful day today, and I promised my future wife <3 Tara <3 that I would keep her updated as one of my 5 wedding vowels...nope, not Wheel Of Fortune here LOL...My vowels are...I keep Tara safe, I keep Tara cool and warm, I keep Tara updated, I spend more time with Tara and have fun with Tara and I love Tara with all my heart and listen to Tara more and more. :):) We got our Marriage License from Gregg Gross, the Deputy Clerk Of The Peace back on Monday, June 5. We rode the bus together to Clerk Of The Peace so I knew what my bus ride here would be like come Wednesday, June 28 for our special day. I never thought in 47 years I would finally get to have this very special day...Marriage is truly very special and very wonderful feeling with the person you love <3 :):) <3. Thank you <3 Tara <3 and thank you Plenty of Fish (June 26, 2015) for getting us together and 8 years later, we finally made it to this special day (June 28, 2023). It took a whole 3 years of waiting, after I purposed to Tara after our first special prom we had together (Saturday, June 27, 2020) but this special day was well worth the wait. <3 :):) <3 Seeing you and spending time with you and holding you in my arms and giving you my soft, gentle touch like no other guy ever gave you, and of course, can't forget the BIG MIKEY BEAR HUGS!!!! :):):):) and me always updating you everyday and keeping you warm and keeping you cool and keeping you safe and keeping you loved and keeping you calm....cause you can't forget Calm!!!!!! :):):):) The weather was outstanding for this very special day for us together and thanks to your wonderful family who is now our family for all that they did for us on this fun sunny adventure wedding day. I do, for all time with you. :):):):) I rode the bus to Wilmington Transit Center just as me and Tara did on June 5 and I got off the bus at 12pm and updated Tara as I promised her I would and walked all the way to the Clerk of the Peace and along the way, stopped to update you honey, again as I promised you I would. O :):) O Wedding rings updates from me...I'm glad they let us bring our cellphones inside the building. I got there by 12:30pm and waited and waited and waited for you and our family to arrive, not knowing you all had took another entrance to get inside. You texted me to come inside, but you were underground. So I came in and checked through the metal detectors and let the guards know I was here for our wedding ceremony and they directed me to the marriage hall waiting room...a BIG HUGE room and YAY!!! you all were there waiting for me!!! Magic Mike huh?? How about Magic Family???? :):):):):):):) yay you looking soooo beautiful in your Lavender/Lilac purple wedding dress. You helped me put on my flower, yay flower. The Marriage room was awesome!!! A wonderful beach/background type setting, perfect for us...after all, we did agree on a beach wedding together :) Tara :) Mike :) 6-26-15 :) Go Phillies :):) and me writing our names in the sand. :):) After we signed papers and took pictures in the special wedding room, our judge came out...Gregg Gross....YAY!!!!! The same dude who got us our marriage licence back on June 5!!!! Yay gregg Gross for being our Judge, yay family for being here, yay Elliott for being our ring bearer. Yay rings!!!! Me and you said our I-do's and kissed at exactly our check in time: 1:30pm on Wednesday, June 28, 2023. It was a moment we will always remember forever, and sooooo much better than what happened to me on this day 10 years ago, but now I can put that to rest. June 28 will now and forever be a very special day for me, for it is the day me and <3 Tara <3 got married, side by side, with you my beautiful bride by my side. After our wedding, we went to the Bear house to toast to the newlyweds me and you <3 :):) <3 yay bubbles!!!!!! I love bubbles honey!!! Bubbles on your wedding dress, lots of good luck from me. We then all headed out to the Chesapeke Inn restaurant in Chesapeake City, Maryland for our wedding dinner together, first wedding dinner as our new family together....TMFAMILY. <3 :):) <3 We all got to sit together at this big huge table overlooking the marina/waters and seeing the beautiful boats as they sail by. It was an awesome experience. I ordered the Bricoli pizza there, ate the whole thing, and still had room for wedding cake when we got back to your Bear home. <3 :):) <3 See honey, I'm your little Pac-Man, even on our wedding day! wakka! wakka! wakka! It was truly an awesome setting and the dinner was absolutely wonderful!!!! We all got back to the Bear home for wedding cake and gifts. I forgot to slow dance with you honey :(:(:(:( our first wedding slow dance as husband and wife, but I still held your hand soft and looked into your beautiful eyes as I said to you and your family my 5 wedding vows for you my love and then had Alexa play our wedding song...From Here To Eternity by Michael Peterson. After we got back home, I did my workout for you and brought in your work bag and our new Air Purifier fan and also the new over the sink kitchen rack, both of which I would put together for us the very next day June 29, yay me!!!! After we got settled in together, I put on a classic 50 songs dvd for us to enjoy together, you got your zzz's and I held you close as the DVD played, letting you get your zzz's and after the DVD was over, I shut the TV off and updated you one more time and then got my zzz's for the night. Overall this was truly such a wonderful wedding experience and thank you and our family for the greatest day of my life and the greatest day of our lives together: Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 1:30pm. <3 Tara <3 I do, for all time with you my love, my life, my wife for life, my bride by my side for all time and true, I do, forever with you! <3 :):) <3
