No, not a breakup, we got married on over the weekend. We have been together for 12 years, some ups and downs, but mostly up. We are so different and so the same. Met 12 years ago at a cocktail party. I'm a 6'2, white male (most of the time), of Irish Catholic roots from Boston, who's party affiliation was strongly Republican at the time (the party left me). She was a 4'10, black female, Southern Baptist from Virginia, who was a lobbyist for women's groups and staunch Democrat. We had a date and started talking and really haven't ended the conversation to this day. She supports me and I support her, she is the love of my life.
