Getting a kick out of being married
Yesterday night I attended my husband's boss' wedding, which was made more fun because my husband works in the ministry that is in charge of the statutory board which I used to work in (where we met) so we had some mutual friends who attended. (Also, my ex-Minister and my current Minister both attended! He also invited ESM!??)
My husband and I met at work, where he was seconded to my department from the ministry, and in the same department we started going out, and eventually I left the statutory board to another place and then he proposed. But effectively we were working in the same department on the same project(s) as a dating couple. Most people who worked with us knew about this, but because we maintained a professional front whilst working, it wasn't super obvious.
So yesterday night we met the lawyer at the ministry he currently works in, who had worked with us on the big project before. She obviously knows who my husband is since he is now working with her, but I wondered whether she still remembered me (the project was around 3 years ago now). So we said hi, my husband asked whether she remembered me, to which she was like, ah yes, from IDA right? Though I've forgotten your name... and I was like haha yes you still remember, yes I'm Lili.
After which I was like, oh yeah and you know that I'm now his wife right?
And she totally did a whut-face and a complete double-take. And then a pleasantly-surprised-lol face. It was amusing to watch. She then had to clarify that we were indeed dating during the project and she was even more enlightened/amused. (And had a mock-scandalised look before she revealed she also met her husband at work. Us civil servants. :P)
It was a fun experience. :P We've been married for more than a year now and we almost never get these encounters anymore.
But yeah, we're still enjoying our married life. It's fun! :D
