Brad and I celebrated our 5th anniversary a couple of weeks ago by staying home with Tate, who was finishing getting over hand, foot, and mouth disease. Brad was sick as well with what we are pretty sure was the same thing. Whoo hoo! Any celebration of this milestone (5 years of wedded bliss that is, not having HFM) was postponed until January.
But speaking of weddings, if you've had one you remember all that goes into planning one. I remember it especially well since we had a 4-month engagement and I thought I was going to lose my mind. So many details. What type of invites to have. What color ink to use. Which font. What to wear. Location, centerpieces, photographer, what to serve, how to buy a condo and pay for wedding at the same time and not go broke....blah, blah, blah. Want to know what the guest takeaway was from all that 5 years later?
Last weekend we were out celebrating Brad's 40th and a friend of Brad's told me that the one thing he always remembers when he thinks of our wedding is that we had served asparagus at dinner (which I didn't even remember) and that by the end the night the men's bathroom reeked of asparagus pee. Yup, 4 months of frantic planning and the big takeaway was asparagus pee. Hilarious. So really folks, don't worry if the post office is out of the "LOVE" stamps like the crazed bride-to-be who was in line in front of me last time I was there. In five years no one will remember. But do serve asparagus.
