Well, here we are at 20 years of marriage. WOW...in today's world that is a major milestone isn't it? Most people get divorced even after 1 year.
Our 20 years have been filled with
the usual challenges and fortunately or not we don't have any kids. We met in '84 and basically were dating exclusively since. Our first date was Oct. 14,1984 and I took her to a Jethro Tull concert at the Meadow Lands in NJ. Quite romantic, don't you think?
We got to the parking lot where I presented 2 mini bottles of Cordon Negro Champagne. I was at least classy enough to bring 2 of those plastic champagne glasses instead of chugging from the bottle.
The concert was quite an experience since our seats were almost behind a post and had to shift to see the members of the group. We also had some real Bone-Heads behind us, one of whom proceeded to barf on the floor, which ran down so we were kind of stepping in it. WOW....now that's romantic. We moved of course since the stadium was not packed at the time.
After the concert we couldn't find the car right away ('75 Maverick-v8) with somewhat rusted out (on the bottom only) door panels. You know NY salt in the winter does wonders for a car....
Anyway, we had to wait until most people left and about 1/2 hour walking around the lot. We finally made it.....Since then it has been one adventure after another.
She's my best friend and lover and we have always had this, what do you call it, kinship? We have the same kind of sarcastic humor and other similarities , but we are totally opposite in the fact that she is a Type A personality and I am not, she has a tendency to be ethereal and I'm more grounded. I guess we compliment each other that way.
Well, 20 years and we are still going strong.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LOVER
