Happy 8th Anniversary, Hubby!

Ah... Eight years today, I was getting up to drizzle and gloomy skies - and our wedding! Nothing was rushed that day - the wedding was at 5 pm, so we had time to get our hair done, our make-up done, etc. It was one of the few days I was sure of the decision I was making... Hubby is my "lobster" (hope everyone gets the reference) and I knew it was right. No regrets.

I have yet to scan some of the pics from our wedding (proofs were still paper proofs in 1998!) so I can post them here.

I can't believe eight years have already past... It went so fast! We made it past the "7-year itch"...and much more. And, despite the emotional rollercoaster of this year, we are closer than ever.

Happy 8th Anniversary, sweetie! Hope you find your cards this morning...

Here are some songs that that define the beginning and on-going of our marriage... Specifically, The Wedding Song, which was played at our wedding.

Grow Old with Me
by John Lennon

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love

Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love


The Wedding Song
by Noel Paul Stookey

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.

Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is Love. There is Love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's Love, there is Love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. Oh there's Love.
