Beginning Well and Serenely

 33 years ago...DH and I married. No removing the garter with teeth for me - too vulgar and private! But he can remove it with his hands ... and return it to the owner. It was both something borrowed and something blue.


DH did not want cake smashed in his face. He didn’t believe how passionate I was that that would not happen. The symbolism for me is about nurturing and caring for one another, so yes, I insisted we would feed each other bites of cake. He was still hesitant, but obliged.

How quickly the years fly by! Hug your loved ones and savor every moment with them. Life is precious, and good.
