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.
