Eighteen years ago today, I married the man of my dreams. We met 3 years earlier, in New York City, on July 4th, when Lady Liberty was having her Big Birthday Celebration in 1986! I remember it feeling like a war-zone as we walked down streets with fire-crackers going off in all the corners... Our wedding was very 'Scandinavian', honoring his Swedish roots, and my Danish roots. I drew and handpainted all of our invitations...
We had a tradtional 'Danish' wedding cake made of marzipan, and decorated with lots of little flags. The reception was in my Mothers garden, I wanted to be surrounded by flowers! Flags and flowers were everywhere, Nationalism and Romance being big in Scandinavian countries!
My very nervous husband to be, sang a song he had written for me before I entered the church... No eyes were left dry! Today we are headed for a weekend away at the coast, just the two of us. Eighteen years seems like just yesterday... Where has the time gone? HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE!!!
