Well, I waited for the man for 22 years. The best man. The perfect man for me. And for 37 years he's spoiled me, and loved me, and provided for me, and protected me and just plain been there for me. He's turned up a zillion times and done more, given more and been more than I could ever have expected when he first wandered into a friend's room at college when he was 18 years old and was introduced to me as "the guy who lives on the next floor...." We married just before he turned 20 and just after I'd turned 24. We were both with other people when we met, but I knew within 3 days of meeting him that this was 'the guy'. This was The One. He was, and has forever been since, my beloved. So when we got to *this* place in time with rings, and we decided this would be the IT ring, the *last* ring, there was just no other name. This is my 'Beloved'." Thank you, ladies, for all your help.
