15 Years Ago Today, We Were Slow Dancing To This.
Fifteen years ago today Rigel and I were married. Everyone who knows me has heard the story of how we met a gazillion times, so I'll just give you the condensed version here: We were fixed up by a mutual friend and hit it off so well on our first date that we made plans for a second. On our third date I was picking him up at a train station in Paris where we spent a week together, culminating in a day on the lake in Versailles on a rowboat.
How could I not marry this guy?
Let me just say how grateful I am to be married to my best friend, the very best man I know, the most wonderful father I know, and the most kind man I know. So what if he doesn't like my plaid shorts, puts his feet on the table and hates it when I try and give him directions?
This is "our song" that we danced to at our wedding. Okay, so Paul Weller looks a little geeky, but the lyrics still make me teary eyed every time.
Awwww!!!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to read blogs about people's anniversaries. Thank you for sharing that.
Oh wow!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Rigel - I loved reading about how you hooked up :)
I swear on my life I didn't see this before I posted this morning. But I'm laughing at us for having similar posts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 15 years of love and here's to many many more!
Congratulations! I love that song - whatever happened to the Style Council?

ReplyDeleteOk...so, he is kinda goofy, but the lyrics! Anyway, congrats to you both on your 15th.....
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Yeah, you pretty much have to marry the guy you spend the third date in Paris with.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! You went further on your third date than we did - we only made it to New York.

ReplyDeleteI'm a little late to the party, but Happy Anniverary anyway! :)
