Happy Anniversary

Today's post is for my Hubby (but I don't mind everyone else having a peek).

A year ago today, you got dressed up in a heavy suit on the hottest day of the year. You put yourself in the limelight (a place I know you don't particularly enjoy). You answered "I will" to a very important question.

During the service, your Mum read a lovely extract from Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres. This sentence in particular stays fresh in my mind:
"Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two."

We share our interests and discuss are differences. You continue to demonstrate to me that your logic and balanced view on life are worthwhile attributes whilst still encouraging my various artistic and creative endeavours, and enduring my empassioned outbursts on my 'cause du jour'.

You've held me when I've felt ill or sad; you've laughed with me; we've enjoyed new experiences together.

These lyrics played whilst we were signing the register (From This Moment On by Shania Twain), and they say it best:

Through weakness and strength,
Happiness and sorrow,
For better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.

Happy Anniversary
