October 14th 2006 was a GORGEOUS day.
And we were thankful, cause it was the day I was to be married. Outside.
The day before had been really, really chilly, and we were all worried that our strapless dresses would have us freezing, but the sun was out long enough that it truly was just a gorgeous, gorgeous day.
Bryan held very strictly to one superstition that I did NOT LIKE AT ALL: he wouldn’t talk to me on our wedding day. Like, AT ALL. I called his phone; he put his Best Man on. I tried to corner him during photo sessions, but he had all of his groomsmen on interceptive duty. It drove me nuts.
The day after the wedding, as we were leaving town for our honeymoon, we stopped in at My Best Guy’s house to drop off Bryan’s tux. He opened the door and we finally got to chat for the first time since the brouhaha the day before.
“How was the first married kiss?” he asked.
“Fine,” I said, blushing. Weird question.
“Did you taste it?” he asked, leaning forward expectedly.
“Um.. Kevin, you’re making me freaked out. Taste WHAT?”
“THE WHISKEY!” he sighed. “Damnit, you didn’t taste it, did you? See, you were supposed to taste the whiskey so you knew that he had been nervous and he had some whiskey to calm his nerves and he was contemplating running away to Mexico, but HE DIDN’T, he stayed and married YOU instead, so you were to know that he had other options BUT HE CHOSE YOU.”
I stared at him. “Whiskey?” Bryan doesn’t drink. Like, EVER.
“Damnit,” he sighed again. “I guess you couldn’t figure out how much he loves you.”
Three years later, and there’s never been a day that I’ve doubted how much he really loves me.
Even without the whiskey.
Happy Anniversary!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU TWO!
