The Moment He Added That Second Ring To My Finger In Key West Florida At Our Beach Wedding

By Peter Estenoz


When we first started going out, I hadn't expected him to be all that romantic. Sure, he was sweet and kind, but it seemed like he was just a typical guy. He came home from work, ate his food, then sat and watched television. The big romantic gesture seemed beyond him. But I was wrong. When he added that second ring to my finger in Key West Florida at our beach wedding, I knew I had misconstrued him.

The day was perfect. Best of all, it was a total surprise. We had been engaged to be married for five years and frankly, I didn't expect him to come through on his promise to marry me. When you first get engaged, you wake up every day expecting your other half to pop the question. But then after a few years you begin to think it will never happen. Though my girlfriends nagged me to push him, I didn't want to.

I had to explain to them that this was just how he was. Truth be told, I was thinking the same. But then he said we were going to take a vacation. I didn't think anything of it until he suggested that maybe while we were there, we get married.

Of course I was worried that everything wouldn't be perfect. I couldn't have been more wrong. The staff made sure that everything was absolutely brilliant. There were freshly cut flowers and a band to play me in as I walked up the aisle in a stunning dress. The sand between my toes made this an extra special occasion.

People always have that dream, from a young age, of imagining what they big day will be like. It's unlikely that a sandy one ever comes up. But it really should - I don't think I would have been able to conjure up a better day in my childhood than the one I had.

To say that the whole thing was a big surprise would be an understatement. But in reality, it went off without a hitch and was everything I could ever have hoped for and more. We returned from that holiday in happily wedded bliss, and I'm absolutely certain it was because we got married life off to the perfect start with the ideal ceremony.

I can honestly say, from the bottom of my heart, that when he added that second ring to my finger in Key West Florida at our beach wedding, I couldn't have felt happier. I hope that our daughters have their dream reconfigured because of our experience. I hope they'll want to get married in this place and this way too.
