Today Is My Wedding Anniversary

Five years ago my girlfriend said yes to marrying me. I remember we were in a small paddle boat on Lake Houston with the sun setting behind her head. The water was like a sheet of glass. Nobody seemed to be on the lake that evening but us. It was really a beautiful night. As I massaged her feet and fed her dark chocolate I got on one knee and asked the question that many men ask in their life. "Will you spend the rest of your life with me." Just as she said yes a white dove landed on the bow of our little paddle boat. The air was crisp, the air was clean... you could have heard a pin drop it was really, really cool. I placed the pink diamond on her finger (imported from Haifa Isreal.)

Okay, it didn't really go down like that. But she did say "yes."

Here are some pictures from our wedding, 5 years ago today. We've been together since 2002.

Congratulations Greg. And ditto on the beautiful family. I love your story... and as long as the happily ever after part is true and it looks like it is... it's okay to "embellish" the once upon a time part.

This is a beautiful story -- so she massaged your feet, and fed you chocolates, and put a big fat diamond ring on your finger -- who cares!! The main point is . . . you make a lovely couple! Heartfelt congratulations!
