Our anniversary is today...1ish if you are counting hours and 27 years later I am still.
We were married under two big oak trees now long gone in her mom's front yard. It was simple and to the point and very nice. My dad was my best man. Her sister was her maid of honor of sorts. Her kids stood over by the porch with my mom...not quite sure what to make of things.
We spent the night across the street in my brother in law's house and went to Stockholm for our honeymoon (working honeymoon) the next day. We flew Lufthansa and the movie was "1984"...utterly romantic with a cigar smoking clod in the seats across the isle.
Stockholm was wonderful. I had a sublet on Valhallavagen and Sturgarten across from the Olympic Stadium (viewable from the windows) and we had a grand time of it. Funny the things that you remember after all this time. Cracking lobsters the night before for the salad, talking about the ghost in her old house, my dad putting her wedding ring in his pocket, changing his pants for the ceremony and then flying around trying to find it - sure that he had ruined everything...do it again in a heartbeat.
