My patient and sweet husband, Bruce and I were married 15 years ago today! In those 15 years we have laughed together nearly every day, seldom argued or disagreed and are blessed to have a healthy and happy marriage. By the way - I don't wear crazy hats all the time..this picture was taken in May, 2009 before a radio theater performance.
Soul mates?
Are we soul mates? No! Neither of us like that phrase. How about love birds? Okay, I can accept that. Not long ago someone asked how long we had been married. When I told them they were surprised since they thought "old married couples" didn't kiss in public or hold hands.
Wedding Memories
Bruce and I had the theme from the Andy Griffith show played in the middle of the recessional hymn at our wedding. We had a quote from Barney Fife on the wedding program. "It ain't only the materialist things in life that matter, it's family and friends what make a difference" I drew the line at having a picture of old Barney Parney Poo on the wedding program.
The Honeymoon
Bruce and I went on a cruise the February after we were married. One evening we were alone on the top deck. We were holding hands, gazing at the moon and then he put his arms around me. I thought "oh, how sweet, he is going to tell me something wonderful and I will treasure the memory forever" Indeed, I treasure the memory. Instead of whispering something touching he started singing "When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie that's Amore" Making me laugh is one of the reasons I love Bruce.
Celebration
Every year on our anniversary we take turns planning a short trip. We've been to Duluth, New Ulm, Decorah, Northfield, LaCrosse and this year we are going to: It's a surprise and it's my year to plan. So, check back on Monday and discover where we went to enjoy 15 years together.
