Happy anniversary, reillye! Sucks to be the rest of the world, because I got the best!

*smooch*

Today's weather brought back our biggest fear about an outdoor wedding. Thankfully, June 10, 1995 had just slightly above normal temperatures. I can't imagine what it would have been like on June 10, 2008, with the temp pushing 100F. (Actually, I can imagine--we made sure there was an indoor space available in case of bad weather, but you get the point.)

Aw, you're cute. I hope I'm that happy at thirteen!

I hope you are, too.

One thing about being married this long is that the 50% divorce rate has affected several of our contemporaries, and others are just barely holding it together (usually for the kids), and are clearly not happy doing so. I don't know if there's any real secret to our marriage working so well, but I do know I'm very lucky.

and, honestly, it's part luck, part shared values, part good communication about lots of different things, and part good physical intimacy. When a combination of those things breaks down, you're one step away from divorce. Plus, in our culture, it's easier to divorce than to rediscover why you fell in love with *that person* in the first place.

No matter what happens, may you always remember why you fell in love in the first place :-)
