Eight years ago today

by | Sep 30, 2009 | Uncategorized | 10 comments

Eight years ago today, we flew to Vegas anyway, despite what had just happened with airplanes and the fear people felt about traveling. We’d made plans and had tickets; we elected not to change.

Eight years ago today, we had massages at the hotel and got dressed and you warned me not to get lost.

I got lost in the casino anyway.

I also got turned around the right way, and found the chapel.

Eight years ago today, we held hands and said, “I do” and had the best ceremony ever, with just my parents there to witness, and then we went to watch jousting at Excalibur.

Best decision I ever made. I love you.

    Hah, 8 years ago I made you totally crack up in front of the camera.

    8 years ago, we petted a lion.

    8 years ago, we were so excited and delighted in each other.

    We still are. I still think you are the most interesting, fun, smart, lovely, and desirable person I have ever known. I value every single one of the 252455616 seconds we have had together.

    I love you,

    Your MAN!

    I can’t believe you did the math and converted the seconds. See, this is why you’re perfect for me.

    Congrats and happy anniversary!

    The missus and I have been “together” for 7 years, give or take a couple of weeks, only 5yrs 12days married though. And no, I’m not converting the seconds 😛

    All I did was save her from a cat and spider and avoid bothering the big bug that was crawling on the minister’s corsage, does that count for anything?

    Thank you! I plan to pester my husband with crazy plots and “what if I did blah blah, does that work? Also, what kind of sword should he use?” faaar into the future.

    awww what a sweet post. and what a wacko wedding. The lion was a separate event, right?

    Kate, we stayed (and got hitched) at the MGM Grand, so the lions were in-house. Getting to pet one was a pretty special event. Her name was India. And no, not included in the wedding.
