Wow, how time flies.
Four years ago today, the man who became my very best friend (in a very short time) and I exchanged our wedding vows. I still remember parts of that day...
Standing next to my Dad, watching Bryian go up to the stage (we were married at Stuart's Opera House, a vintage Victorian building and still functioning venue), I still remember saying to myself, "Dammit, I'm not going to start crying!" Fortunately for me, my Dad didn't hear my "colorful" language.
I won't say that it was the happiest day of my life - because I still have so much Life before me. But it was one of my many happier days.
I still remember the first time I ever saw Bryian. We were both married to other people at that time. It was at an SCA event in Columbus, at the Armory. I was going through my 'day camp' stuff looking for something, when movement caught my eye. I turned to watch this tall figure of a man striding through the hall with a look of pissed-off determination. In his wake were two of his friends. I still remember thinking to myself, "Wow, I'd really like to get to know him." There was just something about him that I was (and still am!!) extremely attracted to.
I love you Bryian - for all my lifetimes.
anniversary,
best friend
