four years ago i put on my wedding dress

and prepared to marry my wonderful man. a couple bloody marys calmed my nerves and my hangover (we raged it after the rehearsal dinner) and the day went off without a hitch. it hasn't been all sunshine and roses, but we survived the bullshit and are stronger for it.

he proposed to me in the ihop parking lot at 2 am after only six weeks of dating and i have never once regretted saying yes.

we're having fancy dress up dinner tonight to celebrate, i've been drooling over the menu for days now and am so excited.

i am a lucky woman.

No...wait.
I wore a black suit.
Miz t. wore a light green silk suit and matching hat.
We eloped.
It was a small wedding.
I had hair.

During the Episcopal ceremony I dropped the prayer book, or whatever that was.
I was monumentally hungover.
Just magnificently hungover.

I thought I was going to pass out when I bent down to pick it up.
I just kept thinking "Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out."
(I didn't,)

Congratulations and I hope you're still together in 2063.

My mom proposed to her second husband a month after their first date. They got married two weeks later. They have been happily married for over 20 years.

I hope you had a lovely dinner with yummy food.

and you'd better not be on DU right now, not on an anniversary night.
