Today is the day! Twenty-five years ago today, Allen and I tied the knot! The wedding took place at 1:30 p.m. in Worthington, MN. The weather was beautiful in the morning, but became windy with a few sprinkles in the afternoon. (It ruined my hair!!) I don't really remember much of the day other than it was REALLY fun! I loved the fact that both of our families had deep roots in the area. It made the day sort of a "community" event! It was a great way to start our life together!
It scares me to think I have been married for 25 years. I don't feel old, but 25 years sounds sort of... oldish! Oh well, no matter! I have a son starting kindergarten this fall. That automatically makes me... young, right?! My parents said last weekend, "Wait until your baby celebrates her 25th wedding anniversary! Then you will have a reason to feel old!" I guess it is all in your perspective.
I am a very happily married person. God blessed me when he gave me Allen. For anyone who is interested, our courtship began back in high school chemistry. Go figure! We dated all through college and then had a LONG engagement. So, we have known each other for about 30 years.
I was at a wedding shower last night. Someone asked the couple, "What are you looking forward to most about being married?". They both said that they were excited to live life together . They hit the nail on the head! That is exactly what I love most about being married - living life together! Of course, it helps to have a husband that is really easy to live with... but sharing your life with someone you love...it's the best! I don't know what God has in store for Allen and me in the next 25 years, but I'm ready to start down that path - together.
