A LOVE STORY BORN FROM TRUE DREAMERS

Scott’s vow to Sibl:

The first time we met almost 10 years ago,

I fell instantly in love with you. You stole my heart.

I could even tell you when and where.

I knew that you were the woman I wanted to

spend the rest of my life with.

Every moment we have spent together since that day,

my love for you has grown.

My heart, my soul and everything that I am belongs to you.

Sibel’s vows to Scott:

You came into my life when I was least expecting it.

I was a very different person back then –

lacking self-confidence, full of doubts and insecurities,

incapable of loving myself and others.

But being with you changed all of that.

I found in you so many strengths I never knew I had.

You have helped me to grow intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

You believe in me. You saved me, you give me strength,

and I’m forever grateful for this.

You are the sweetest, most caring and compassionate soul I’ve ever met.

With you,

I feel a sense of completeness, fulfillment in love and in life.

Our love is very rare and is something I hold so dear to my heart.

I can never imagine a life without you.

When we are apart, a part of me feels empty,

but I know that because our love is so deep and strong and timeless,

we can make it through any obstacle life may throw at us.

I found in you wisdom that would otherwise take years to acquire.

Because you never go into a relationship knowing what to expect,

we, together,

have learned how to deal with those unexpected happenings

and will continue to learn how to maneuver on a sometimes-uneven path.

I promise to always listen to you and support your dreams,

because you are a true dreamer.

I promise I will always put my best foot forward

so we can achieve our dreams together.

I now have the ability to see the future

and do everything possible to keep that vision a reality

for the both of us.

With these rings,

I seal my love and pledge my devotion to only you,

for the rest of my life.

I promise to always love, respect and be true to you.

Everything that I am is yours.

So here today, at one of the most majestic places on earth,

I make these vows to you in the presence of our closest family and friends,

so that they may witness these eternal promises I make to you.

Poem in English:

Place your hand in mine and let me try to tell you these few lines.

I will be true to you for all time, I will always and forever

Hold you both in my heart and in my mind

I will remain by your side whatever may come

Be it Happy or Sad, Good or Bad

I shall never waiver In my love or commitment to you

From this day, Until the end of all days

I will always love you.

Poem in Turkish:

Ellerini benimkine koy ve sana bu birkaç kelimeyi anlatmaya çalışayım.

Bütün zaman boyunca sana karşı dürüst olacağım.

Her zaman ve sonsuza kadar

İkinizi de kalbimde tutun ve zihnimde

Ne olursa olsun senin yanında kalacağım.

Mutlu ya da hüzünlü ol, iyi ya da kötü

Asla feragat edeceğim

Benim aşk veya bağlılık size

Bu günden itibaren

Tüm gün sonuna kadar

Seni her zaman seveceğim

A LOVE STORY BLESSING – BORN FROM TRUE DREAMERS

When a soul meets their soulmate,

a sentient being has no other option

than to intrinsically surrender their heart.

Thus,

A love at first sight blossoms everyday into an awareness

of the wonderous qualities that are

Always Already Alright and within.

Not everyone is blessed to find their true Soulmate in life…

But those so Blessed will feel a completeness that stimulates them

Intellectually, emotionally and Spiritually…

A true connection from the ground of their Beings.

Before we are so Blessed to encounter our Soulmate,

We often feel lost,

Perhaps lacking self-confidence, full of doubts and insecurities,

incapable of loving one’s self and others.

True Soulmates can Dream together and learn

what can be dreamed together and be manifested together.

There is too much life and beauty for one person

to adequately integrate into their being by themselves…

It takes the teamwork of Marital Bliss to give us the freedom

to fully express our Hearts delight…

To hear our Higher Calling,

To fully fulfill our passions for life.

For such a Divine Love,

what a fitting place enter into the most sacred of relationships…

In ancient Hawaiian times,

the summit of Haleakalā was considered the most sacred place on Maui…

So close to the Heavens you can feel Nirvana

And so it is,

with Divine Grace

that these two Soulmates – Sibel & Scott

Unite here in Eternal Maui Marital Bliss

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
