29 years ago today

There are no wedding pictures to share, we eloped. We dated a total of 10 weeks before we were married, somehow we just knew right away we were meant for each other. A love so strong and beautiful from the start, the kind of love that just gets better and better. Love notes still find their way to our pillows, butterflies still fly in our stomachs when we see each other across a crowded room. A friendship so strong that words cannot match the depth. Comfortable like a favorite slipper, yet there is still magic. Talking on the phone 5 or 6 times a day, not bothersome, but anticipated. Laughter and holding hands, long walks and conversations deep and profound. The same goals, different ways of getting there, never bored.
Happy Anniversary Emery !

Emery? Wasn't that Bobby Sherman?!! And Patty....the Breck Shampoo gal???!! You guys were GOR-GEE-OUS!! (I'm sure you are taking this in the light hearted manner with which it is written! LOL... Happy anniversary, to a lovely heart whose transparency blesses me very much. I celebrate my 23rd soon ;o).

A very Happy Anniversary to you and Emery, Patty! It's as love should be...

I received my BEAUTIFUL note cards in the mail just now... Thank you so very much for your generosity! I 'll be using them for special Christmas cards this year.

Hi Mrs Kay, how did you know I was a Breck Girl !!!!
I tried Breck last year, it sure smells good still but it doesn't seem the same to me as it did then.

I said of my 28th Anniversary post that we did not have an elaborate wedding (only our parents in attendance) but we have had an elaborate marriage. It sounds the same for you. I know people who had $10,000 weddings and divorces that cost just as much. I love the picture of the two of you. Happy, Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! I have a wonderful marriage, but do you have any tips to share with us? Whats the key to having a wonderful 29 year (and many more years to come) marriage?
I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating and walking down memory lane. :)

How wonderful! Congratulations to you both. :)
Happy anniversary you two! You sound like my hubby and I. The first time we talked on the phone we both felt as if we had known each other forever! We met in February and he asked me to marry him on the second date! We were married in June and we eloped too! It will be 28 years in 2008
