| Can you see, I made sure Mickey Mouse was at my wedding? |
Bill and I are celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary today.
After a horrible first marriage, I swore I would never get married again! Bill and I were working together and became good friends but were not looking for a relationship at all, I mean, come on.... look at our age difference, besides I did not want to fall in love - men were EVIL!!!
But then it happened, he was just too darned sweet, he made me smile again, he made me feel like I was worth something, not a worthless individual. He made me laugh - A LOT!! We had so much in common: music, movies, TV, friends.... could I really be falling in love again??? NOPE, not me!! OK, maybe I was, but I was NOT going to get married - EVER AGAIN!!
Then Bill asked me to move in with him, he loved me, I loved him and it would be so much less expensive, so I said OK, but I wasn't getting married ever again! He would ask, "Not even to me?" and I'd say NO!
Then one morning in December 1996 as I was ironing his shirt for work at 5:30 in the morning - looking all bedhead and horrible - he came running down the stairs (in his underwear, no less) and said to me, "You HAVE to marry me!" I looked up at that adorable face and said, "OK!" and went back to ironing his shirt, he went off to work and I went back to bed. We got married in March 1997.... and although it hasn't always been sunshine and roses (who has or even WANTS that?) it has been the best 14 years of my life.
Bill has been my love, my soulmate, and the best step-father anyone could ever ask for. I love him more now than I did that day he came running down the stairs in his underwear... :)

Bill, thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful life full of fun, happiness and love. I wouldn't change a single minute of it.... I wish and pray for 50 more years with you.
I love you with all my heart and soul.
