Sentimental and smooshy.

Jun 12, 2006 15:10

It was precisely one year ago today that my delightful Husband and I tied the knot (in secret)... and precisely two years ago today that we met. Sure, we have the "real" wedding anniversary in October, commemorating the date upon which we engaged in the usual love-spectacles: walking down the aisle, having our parents give us away, reading our own ( Read more... )

marriage, happy

Gorgeous tree. Happy Anniversary...I sometimes wish my husband and I had eloped...

So.... ming102 June 13 2006, 05:58:39 UTC

So do it now..... Why not?

Thank you! And yeah, we decided we were NOT going to subject such an important event to the stress and trauma of having a huge unpredictable audience, etc etc. More specifically, we decided we'd do the real thing alone, without telling anyone, after my mom threw a tremendous crying temper tantrum when we mentioned we might like to exchange vows privately and then have a "public" reception. She was insufferable and I knew it would only get worse at that point. :)

You can always renew your vows privately! Run off and get re-married. :)

OMG! I love your sentimental and smoooooshy! Congratulations!!!

It's exactly how I feel about my guy... even though we're not married [and have decided not to] we're 100% committed and feel more married than most people we know!

I love that phrase... karmic jackpot. That definitely captures a sense of it ;-)

Quite... ming102 June 13 2006, 05:58:01 UTC

I'm not married and my partner and I feel that we have to try harder because of it. But that's just what suits us.

Re: Quite... bratenfrau June 13 2006, 14:11:14 UTC

Try harder? How so?

Re: Quite... ming102 June 14 2006, 06:15:05 UTC

We both feel that because, in theory, either of us could walk away, we each have to try hard every day to make sure that the other is happy. No long term relationship slacking. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it just works for us.

Not many! ming102 June 13 2006, 05:57:10 UTC

It's nice to read about other peoples love and the rewards of a good choice in partners. Go you!

Re: Not many! fit_2b_tied June 13 2006, 21:53:16 UTC

And if you're also happy, go you too ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hey Ming... on a totally unrelated note, I hate to be a prude, but I've gotten a couple of complaints from people who do their bloggin' at work and are no longer willing to chance reading comments on this particular journal, on account of never knowing if they're going to be loading up the dick pics for all their co-workers to see. Would you be so kind as to refrain from displaying that lovely prick of yours on this here journal? Thanks. :)

Howdy, and congrats on your anniversary!
Thanks for the comment on my post in erotillectuals. Hope you don't mind if I friend you.

bratenfrau June 13 2006, 17:25:23 UTC

Hey, thanks. And I just added you back... welcome, fellow stranded southerner. :) I like what I've read of your journal so far!

That tree is awesome! Your family still doesn't know about it?

bratenfrau June 23 2006, 18:15:14 UTC

No, they don't... I thought about telling them but now I realize it's more fun just to have a secret anniversary. Maybe in like 20 years I'll tell them. Although even if it's ancient history by the time she knows, my mom will still probably throw a temper tantrum.

incognito_chica June 23 2006, 18:16:49 UTC

The first of many marital secrets. How cute.

bratenfrau June 23 2006, 18:42:00 UTC

Hahaha.... actually, I think the fact that I had a secret abortion 3 months into us living together and never told my family about it probably qualifies as the FIRST marital secret. But not the last. :)
