Almost 365 days of marriage
Yeah yeah, before you get started… I know its been a while. Quite a while, in fact, but Im here now and ready to give you a little J love… or the closest resemblance I can get to some J love. Either way, Im here and Im que… no wait, that not right.
Im actually here now, because on the actual day I should be writing this, I wont be able to write this. So, technically, this could actually be viewed as a gift of sorts; if you like this sort of thing. And even if you dont, Im typing it anyway… so sit back, relax, and I will tell you a story.
You see… two days and a few hours (technically) from now (but a year ago) I was sitting in an Escalade Limo with my motion sickness trying to get the better of me. I was being driven to a church not that far from my house; feeling a little nervous and excited at the same time. I walked into this church to some family and friends smiling, and eventually proceeded to the front of the sanctuary, into a tiny room. As I was in this room, practicing my lines in a mirror, I was joined by some groomsmen in tuxes. I walked out of this room, in front of a room full of people, and watched this beautiful woman, being escorted by her Dad, come walking towards me. Then a preacher started talking and he asked me to say some words to this beautiful woman, which I promptly forgot right after the first line. After collecting myself, I continued speaking those words, and I lost what I was saying again. After finally getting through it, and listening to the words she said to me; I remember hearing my name, but with a “Mr. and Mrs.” in front of it.
As might be able to guess, that was September 13th, 2008 at about 2 in the afternoon. That was a good day.
That was a day, way back when, I wasnt sure Id ever get to experience. That was a day that ranks right up there with some of the best of my life, if not topping the list actually. That was a day, a beautiful woman (did I mention shes beautiful?) let me have her to experience the rest of my life alongside.
And I damn sure will be experiencing the rest of my life with her.
In just a couple days, we will be celebrating our very first wedding anniversary, surrounded by our parents, on vacation in the Dominican Republic. We will be celebrating the day we both made it official, that we want to only put up with each others crap forever; or as close to forever as we can get anyway.
I still dont think she knows what she got herself into.
All I do know is Im happy. Im not gonna elaborate on that, I am simply going to leave it at, that I am happy. I could add an adjective here and there to try and punctuate it a little more, but I dont think I have to.
Im happy, with everything. Happy anniversary baby!
