2nd chance at life and love

Hi all.

We are two 40 something's with a new lease on life. 16 years ago I met the woman of my dreams, but didn't know it yet. We were both in relationships at the time, and became friends.

Our 2 girls (now almost 16) were best friends and started school together.

Fast forward many years, and we reconnected at my 40th birthday party. And, a few more mutual friends parties on, we solidified our relationship. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was a solo dad with full custody of my 3 kids, and she was a solo mum with her daughter. So... we have 4 children fulltime, a dog and a cat, and both work fulltime.

My dream is to give this beautiful lady the wedding and life she deserves and never had.

I want to give our children a secure and loving family, which they have now, but not officially.

We have both been through the ringer, and have scraped together an amazing life.

We have been looking at organizing a wedding, and it is insanely expensive. We have no other financial support. Her family and friends are in the United States, and just getting here is a huge undertaking.

Any small donation to our wedding fund would be so gratefully appreciated.
