My True Love - AC1 Entertaining Speaker

Only Once in your lifetimes will you maybe, like magriet, find that very, very special person. The person who wass made for you. Your soul mate. This evening I’d like to announce I’ve made that match and we've got engaged.

It all started about 6 years ago. I had been looking for love everywhere. I’d been to clubs, to pubs, to parties, I’d met hordes of women. I searched on the Internet. I held the record for the fastest at speed dating. I joined a book club. I even signed up for pottery classes. And then, finally I started dancing the Tango. And that's when it happened.

I gave up. I realised there was no soul mate for me. I was destined to live my life alone. I got depressed. I consoled myself in the twilight world of binge drinking and smoking often unidentifiable organic matter. I sunk into an emotional quagmire of self-pity and writing soppy poetry.

Love is a funny thing. You can often not find it. But love will find you.

So it happened in the most unlikely place. I was busy binge drinking in a bar here in Pretoria. They wanted to close so I was going to have to leave. I was about tp head home and as usual I hoped I wouldn't make it.

Then I met someone.

A lot of people believe in love at first sight, but often it's not like that. Love needs to be nurtured and to grow. I liked this person, they were like a breath of fresh air, but I certainly didn't love them. But vice versa it was different. They were all over me from the start. They invited me on a date and I went, after all there was no one else. ALready by the third date I was fighting them off they were so keen.

I like a man that is prepared to pay for dinner. I also like a man to open doors for me. Initially he didn't do that but with time I taught him. After dating for a while I started finding myself being attracted to him. I began falling in love.

Of course I was a bit surprised that he was not a she, but there you have it. You should put away your preconceived ideas about your soul mate. Forget what society expects of you. Forget what you expect of yourself. Go with your heart because your heart never lets you down and everyone else does.

The rest is history. Six months later I was head over heels in love. We began sleeping together. He moved in and we’ve been inseperable ever since. It's been the best time of my life.

For those of you who haven't been lucky enough to find true love, let me try to describe how it is.

For me it's the small things in life that are important. The way he makes dinner for me when I’m depressed. He knows I don't like to wash the dishes so he does it. Sometimes. The way he never makes the bed because he knows that’s the way I like it. Best of all, He knows exactly how to turn me on, he gets it right every time. It seems my pleasure and happiness and well being are the most important things to him in the world. He’s just so committed to me.

But that's not all. In the six years we've been together he’s saved my life not once, not twice but three times, often at great risk to his own life. Last september when I crashed my motorbike he was there first to help me up and out the traffic. When I nearly drowned in the sea in bad weather three years ago he literally dragged me out by the scruff of the neck. In January when four large criminals broke into my house he chased the whole lot away single handedly. You see he’s brave and strong as well as being perfect in every other way. And handsome.

But it’s not all heavenly bliss, sometimes we do quarrel, just like other couples. But we always make up, I hate to think what would happen if we didn’t.

I know you are thinking, this can’t be, no one is that perfect. No one is really that prince, just perfect in every way. But I assure you, he actually is. You might wonder whether I fear he may be unfaithful or even leave me. Being so wonderful he must be in extreme demand, and yes, I have to say he is. Everywhere, women and men alike notice his presence and wish they were me. And if he ever did leave me I would be totally devastated.

Now I know that true love doesn’t dwindle and die, like you see on TV, it only grows stronger every day. Every time I wake in the morning I make a special point of looking in the mirror and there, sure as nuts, I see him looking back at me with those big, beautiful brown eyes. Not once has he let me down. I love him so damn much.
