Do you believe in love at first sight?

Couples often tell me that they had a sense, right from the very beginning, that their relationship was meant to be. Some of them were very sure, and others came to realize it over the course of hours, or days, but the sense that something really important was happening was undeniable.

Love certainly works its magic, even if we are pragmatic in every other part of life and we don’t believe in magic. The most down-to-earth person will tell me that her face flushed when this stranger looked at her, or that he was compelled to make conversation even if it was a little awkward. Ahhhh……that first encounter often reveals much more than we would ever think possible. Some people feel that it cannot be happening because serendipity just doesn’t happen to them. However, when it comes to cupid’s sudden appearance, it can happen to anyone, and, in my experience, it often does. It isn’t really love, just yet, but it will grow into it. Kismet dusts you with clues, then real love sets in. Yes, it IS magic.

I love the song Marry Me by Train. He hasn’t even met her, and yet, he has a magical vision about her…

Marry Me

Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I’ve had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won’t let them see
But there’s one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will
Say you will

Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I’ll wear out the words I love you
And you’re beautiful

Now that the wait is over
And love has finally showed her my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will
Say you will

Promise me you’ll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will
Say you will

Marry me
