A Love Story
the great love story


Have you ever seen a romance movie where the couple falls madly in love and gets married shortly after? I know I have. It's a true "happy ending."

Cinderella knew Prince Charming for only a short while, and she fell in love instantly. It was only shortly after that they got hitched.

Ariel as the Little Mermaid, how long did she know Prince Eric before they got married? It took the whole length of the movie, where at the end you are at there wedding scene. But how long did the couple know each other? How long were they dating?

Well...the time that these couples were dating seemed like a short period of time. It didn't seem like they knew each other for years before they tied the knot. But the viewers of the movie all really melt at these love stories. Boy meets girl, falls madly in love and gets married.

Why can't this happen in real life? I mean people cry and mush over romantic movies. But why not in real life situations? My fiancé and I met, and we fell in love. We both knew that, yes, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Only a few months into the relationship with each other we were already speaking about marriage. "That's crazy, you are moving way to fast" would often be the comment from others, and it still is.

Five months into our relationship, I decided to move hundreds of miles away so that way I could be with him. I was overjoyed and ready to leave the hectic city life. "You are moving because of a guy." Okay, yes this might be the main factor to why I moved out of Long Island, but there are also about 50 other factors to why I moved out of LI. Love was not the only reason, so c'mon give me a break (read my "country life vs city" life article to see these reasons).

"Brooke I just really don't understand why you are rushing into it," is what my mother has said to me about ... 100 times. Like give it a rest! It will be officially two years of dating/relationship time before our actual wedding day. Who cares if we are rushing! All I want is love and support. Is that so hard to ask for?


Did Cinderella or Ariel have that? The love and support. Ariel's dad turned her into a human so she could be with man. Cinderella was an orphan and had a evil step mother, but luckily she had her Fairy Godmother.

A real tear-jerker is "P.S. I Love You," my favorite movie. I mean for real, in all sappy romantic movies you just root for the couple and wish that this movie could be you and your life. Haven't we all been there? "I really wish that was me, falling in love and having the happy ending." But what happens when it actually happens? Literally it hits you like a brick wall. You don't know it's coming, and it catches you by surprise. All the feelings come like a flood.

But when you see these sappy romantic movies the attention is usually only on the main characters, the couple who falls in love. Not much focus is put on the family, the parents of the couple. You will only see them in some scenes. So let's say these couples were real life. Would their family be supportive or would they disown them?

Can't we all just be happy for one another? You don't have to understand because love is a very tricky thing to understand anyway. I don't even understand it fully. So please stop asking questions to something that no one truly understands. Love is love. Just try and give your support, that's what all of us "love struck" people want. That's all we want.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
