Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!
Today also happens to be my wedding anniversary. 22 years! I’ve officially been married for half of my life. Wowsers!
We eloped to Las Vegas…yes, lots of people do that…no, we weren’t drunk and yes, we planned it ahead of time and no, we weren’t married by Elvis.
He looked more like Friar Tuck….not even kidding…can’t make that stuff up.
Not many thought it would last since our courtship was so very short. Most were polite enough to keep their mouths shut about their doubts. Some friends…not so much. By the way…those impolite folk are no longer friends.
We came home to a small champagne celebration in our newly “furnished” apartment. (Note the moving box and folding chair)
Now…here we are…half a lifetime later… a few moves, 3 cats, 2 kids, numerous vehicles, crazy storms, deaths, job changes, vacations, surgeries and celebrations in between.
Many things have happened along the way….the good, the bad and the ugly but what remains the same is the commitment we made as young twenty somethings to have and to hold, for richer and poorer, in sickness and health, til death do us part.
So what does today hold… Well it’s Tuesday…so the usual busy schedule prevails with a couple curve balls just to mix things up. We are planning on getting Chinese takeout tonight so there will be no cooking or cleaning involved. Hooray!
What are you doing today?
awe a very happy anniversary to you both!! What lovely memories and photos. My hubby and I also eloped after a very brief courtship and we’re on 33 yrs now. Yes, we also had some of the “it won’t last” or “she must be pregnant” but those comments came from some of his family and mine. We proved them wrong too! Have a wonderful day and happy T day!
And to think it only took you seven years to get pregnant after that quickie wedding!!! Congrats on 22 years and love the champagne. I’m here to toast you two to another 22! Thanks for sharing half your life with us for T this Tuesday.
“what remains the same is the commitment we made as young twenty somethings” Beautiful! I feel the same way. Happy Anniversary!
Oh congratulations!!! Love your photos…and the elopement sounds quite romantic. You crack me up…Friar Tuck, not Elvis. Yeah, I’d rather have Friar Tuck…looks like a nice party ensued, and Life has been good. And it passes so quickly! Wishing you many more happy years ahead!!
Happy Anniversary to you and your Sweetie, may the next 22 years be as good or better. Happy T day, hugs, Valerie
Happy Anniversary! Enjoy the take out – a night off from cooking and washing up sounds like a good plan to me! Chrisx
Happy Anniversary……only 22 years? Shucks your both still in the honeymoon stages…*grin*
Thank you for sharing such a special time in your life, and your anniversary!
You think the first 22 went by fast…….buckle up the next 22 are going to swooooosh by in the blink of an eye!
Happy 22! Marriage is such an adventure, isn’t it? I hope you have at least 22 more, and way way more than that. Happy T day.
congrats to your anniversary! and Long courtship doesn´t necessarily mean it will run better… we had our 33th last autumn, i can´t believe how time flies… you are Young enough to double things up to the Age of 88! wishing you all the best:)
HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY!!!! 22 years is a long time by today’s standard of rapid divorces. So glad you made it ♥
Happy Anniversary Halle!
