Love Found in a Coronado Bar
Have you ever prayed for something and gotten exactly what you asked for-just not in the package you expected? That's how Chris Kyle walked into my life. After years of dating disappointments and career success that felt hollow, I surrendered. I prayed for someone kind, someone real. No checklist of requirements, just... nice. Weeks later, in a Coronado bar filled with Navy SEALs, I met a man who would become America's most lethal sniper-and the love of my life. Our first meeting was mortifying. Too much Scotch left me sick, yet Chris still drove two hours from San Diego to Long Beach just to see me again. He was everything I never knew I needed: a warrior who wrote love letters, an adrenaline junkie who cherished quiet moments together. Five months in, when I nervously asked about our future, his answer was perfect: "I love you, and I don't want to spend a day of my life without you." After 9/11 shattered our sense of security, I impulsively suggested marriage. What followed was possibly the world's most awkward proposal, but it was ours-complete with my grandmother's diamond and inscribed wedding bands promising forever.
