Agreed!

My handsome loveable, adorable, sweet, handsome (wait I said handsome, but he is so handsome I have to say it twice) guy and I agreed about two weeks ago where we want to get married. We have not said anything on Facebook because people here will then start hounding us about a date. So, I thought I would announce it on here first. We agreed on a place!!! YAYAY!!!
The place? It is called Kale Park. This means Castle Park. 
This place is actually quite amazing and I really love it there. 
Let me tell you about it. 
Castle Park sits on top of a hill in Silivri, Turkey. This over looks the Marmara Sea, and the Castle is now ruins. The walls are one of the few reminder of a Castle being here. Built in about 700 BC, it was used as a fortress and protected the city when it was in it's glory. There are  several Columns and several artifacts remaining of this castle which will give it a very nice background to our Wedding Spot. I find it very  Fairy-Land-ish and I love it. There is a Restaurant that is there, overlooking the beautiful sea and there is a spot for caterers to have a somewhat basic kitchen in a little building about 600sq feet and I saw it open for a Wedding there a few months ago. I have always wanted to be married here, but my Man has not always been keen on the idea. Now he is and I love it! 
This city is really ancient, and I love it. My guy does not care for this city because he works here all the time and is lonely and I never get to see him.


notice the bridge in the distance? It was designed by Mimar Sinan, a very famous Architect. The Bridge was built in the early 1400's.

Castle entry, yes original bricks. This is protected by the Turkish Historical Commission

One of Several Columns. Many ruins are here, too. This really is a divine place to look at the sea and I just wonder what it would be like in the days where this was in it's full Glory.


As Like much of Turkey's cities, there are many under ground tunnels and old water ways. This tunnel was once a possible way to get in and out of the castle.

Chicken on the street strutting its stuff! And the wall is just old old old

This is also part of the Castle but it is now "down the street" from the now Castle. How I have wanted to just explore in this place. There are tons of antique stone carvings in there.


Another entrance to the Castle Park.


So, this is at the bottom of the cliff looking from the Castle. I quite like the view.

I was calling the long rock
The air is healthier for my asthma and I find getting less asthma attacks here. The bottom line is we just want to be together. I don2t think that is much to ask for. It feels like a long road. We are ready for it though and have been desiring this for a long time.I will post more pictures as I find them.
