Day 217 – Linked

217/365 (August 6, 2011) – Monday is our 25th anniversary together. We’ve only been married for 2 years and a bit, but we have been together for 25 as of the 8th of August, and it is this date that is the one we have always celebrated rather than the February wedding anniversary. We were going to throw a party,…

Four Month Anniversary!

WOW! Where’d that go! Four months since we were married? Actually, the real question would be….”where did 23+ years go!!!??” It was a quiet day…I mean really, who celebrates 4 months. Not us. I just noticed the date on the calendar, and it’s Summer Solstice, and we were at Eagle Harbour Yacht Club (where we got married) the other day……

Circle of Life

A friend looked at our wedding bands the other day and looked a little taken aback. “Snakes? You have snakes on your wedding rings??” she said. I suppose if you have never had any interest in snakes it’s understandable that you wouldn’t know that they have a long and revered history. But they are serpents, not snakes The serpent is…

Finally Married!

It’s done! I never thought I would get married. Just add it to the list of things I said I’d never do that I eventually did do. I really need to be more careful about what I say from now on. I said I’d never teach, I said I’d never go to graduate school, I said I’d never take another…

Better Together

Our Wedding Song, one of them, the one we danced our first dance to anyway. It was supposed to be Queen, Best Friend, but it proved too tough to do a slow dance to so we switched the night before to Jack Johnson – Better Together. There’s no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard,…

Final Countdown

Well, it appears that I can’t back out at this point. My bridesmaid is already en route. So instead I will just lose sleep, stress, wake up at 3am with anxiety attacks about all the things that might go wrong…breathe deeply…and think about Greece….. And maybe I’ll just randomly cry for no apparent reason. I think Kirk is actually going…

Lessons in Cakes

The cake has taken more twists and turns than anything else in the wedding planning process. Mainly because I just can’t stomach the associated cost. We started off looking at a web site suggested by a friend. That was when we discovered that the “reasonable” baker charged a minimum of $5.65 per serving or higher, minimum cost $500, plus $100…

Giant Rollercoasters….

Flowers: So, the florist tells me that for what I want, simple remember, it will end up being around $1000. Exit stage left! Next stop, the floral wholesale company. Manage to get an account set up, buy a few odds and ends, and head home to try my hand at boutonnieres and corsages. Turns out they are rather simple! So,…
