There are couples that fall in love instantly. Love at first sight. We were not one of those couples. And then in other ways I guess we were pretty instantaneous. I met Hubby through my cousin. And I was sooooo not in the mood to meet any more people that day. I screwed up my nose at the boy in his PJ’s and returned to the car to make a speedy exit. Phew. I thought. Dodged a bullet. What loser’s.
It was later that night when a few of the boys came to visit my cousin at the house where her sister and I lived that I got talking to Hubby. We chatted and walked about town and the neighbouring park for hours. We set up camp on our veranda with my tarot and angel cards. I read my cousin, her sister and two of the guys. Hubby agreed to an angel card reading.
As he drew cards, he drew the marriage and children cards. We all laughed and gave him heaps. He wanted a redraw. So we let him. And he drew the same cards again. I told him to suck it up. It was obviously his fate. And started singing the theme song from Married with Children. And then it was my turn. Opting for the angel cards myself I drew my three cards.
Marriage. Children. Success.
Redraw, I shouted. Holy crap. Redraw. And they complied. I shuffled with all my might. I split the deck. I shuffled again. And do you know what. I got the same three cards. Forget the whole fates and destiny thing. What are the odds of that! And so I plonked the cards back into a pile and called it quits. Stupid things. I should have used the tarot cards.
It was 6 weeks later Hubby proposed to me. I said yes. We moved back to Gympie where my family are. We renovated a house. And sold another. We got married 2 years after the proposal in August. This year we were married five years. And all we are waiting on from our initial card reading the chilly March night, on a veranda in Emerald, Queensland is our children. And our fortunes are complete. A perfect full circle.
So do you believe in the power of the cards? Or the power of suggestion..?
