 20 years ago today (June 15, 1991) Catherine and I were married in a small ceremony in her parent’s back yard. The day was incredibly hot for June – over 30C with very high humidity. The guests and the catered food, especially the chocolate dipped strawberries, were wilting in the heat. That didn’t matter to us or to any of our guests. We were gathered to celebrate a truly wonderful occassion and nothing was going to spoil this day. |
 The wedding party sought shade under the rented canopy tent. We made it through the heat on that day and we have made it 20 years to this day. Catherine deserves a medal for putting up with me all this time! Through all these years our love for each other has never faltered. I truly am the luckiest man in the world! We had planned to go to Europe for our 10th wedding anniversary and spend 10 days in France–one day for each year we had been married. Unfortunately, work got in the way and we had to postpone that plan. Our 10th was instead spent in Toronto having a few nights on the town. It wasn’t Paris but we still had a great time and have fond memories. |
Now, here we are on the day of our 20th and I am in Kuwait and Catherine is in Canada. We want to be together today but it’s not possible. However, we are going to make it to Paris later this summer. It will be special and nothing will get in our way this time!
Happy Anniversary, my love!
Now, please tell me again–who are all the young people in these photos?
