Today, November 11th, 2013, Micky Blue Eyes and I are celebrating 18 years of wedded stress! Uh, I mean, bliss. So here is a bunch of old photos I dug out of the cupboard for your perusal.
Here we both are in High School. Not the same one, though. Considering that Mick is 8 years older than me, so he'd finished high school before I'd started.
Years later we met. We gazed at each other across a crowded Rotaract function- and made absolutely no impression on each other whatsoever. However, somehow a year or so later we ended up dating. At which point I was so taken with him that I apparently wrote him a love letter which I also found helpfully tucked away in the cupboard with all the dusty old photos. It contained a rather charming poem I wrote which went:
Roses are red
Voilets are blue
I couldn't find anyone else
So I thought you'd do
Touching, right? How could he resist? He couldn't. Here are two of my favourite wedding photos. I think I like them because I had no idea they were being taken. Of course Mick isn't in either them but that's a minor detail. He was only the groom, after all.
Here we are, happily married, having over priced lobster for my 25th birthday. I must be approximately a hundred years old now, because it feels that long ago. Sigh.
Skipping over a few boring years to my 30th birthday when I was rather up the duff but unaware.
Later that same year, heavily pregnant and by now aware of the fact but only just. Long story. Tragically I look in much better shape when I was very pregnant than I do now. Ahem.
A few years later at our friend's wedding where I was Matron of Honour.
Celebrating our anniversary in 2006.
At our niece's wedding at Mt. Tomah Botanical Gardens, NSW, February 2008.
Later that same year when I was extremely up the duffian with Mr 5.
At this point I seem to have run out of photos which is weird because I'm such ashy person show off who is always running hamming it up for the camera.
But here is one taken on Mr 12's birthday in July this year, even though I usually don't post photos of my boys because I don't want to embarrass them with their bogan parents. Then again, isn't that what parents are supposed to do?
Happy 18th anniversary Micky Blue Eyes! It does seem like a long time. That is until I think of my parents who are also celebrating their anniversary! 47 years!
Happy anniversary Mum and Dad!
Oh yeah, I haven't forgotten it's also Remberance Day so - we will remember them! It's a good way to remember your anniversary too. Ahem.
I must confess I'm not sure if this is my shortest post but I'm linking up with I Must Confess anyway. So ner!
When is your anniversary (if you have one)? How do you celebrate?
