The re-discovery of happiness … day 28
The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash. ~Author Unknown
Today, I’m posting pictures from my wedding, because of two things. In them are who I am most thankful for (My girls, hubby and our family) and it’s my anniversary!
We got married on a Thursday afternoon in an old man’s living room. We found him in the yellow pages after we decided to elope and decided against Vegas. With us were my daughter, my best friend and her husband. When we got there, we saw signs stating “We notarize, take passport pictures, have P.O. boxes and make keys!” Oh great!
Then this old man opens the door. He looked like he was a hundred years old! Anyway, to make a long story short, we picked ceremony A – quick and easy as opposed to B (tear jerker) or C (long and drawn out).
Every 3 years we get re-married. In Las Vegas at a drive through chapel. In Laguna Niguel at the Ritz Carlton (the real one, where I got to wear a gown and got walked down the aisle). At a community church and at the beach in Klaloch on a Sunday morning when nobody was awake – just the beach, the sea mist, my hubby and I. We take turns planning the wedding so it’s a surprise to the other. Next year will be hubby’s turn. I suggested jumping out of a plane, he said “Heck NO!” He’s afraid of heights, I guess that would be a problem!
Live a simple life
Random acts of kindness
The little things
The re-discovery of happiness
What a great way to kindle and rekindle a relationship! My toast to a beautiful family!

The tradition actually started by chance. Long story but really funny and yes, it’s a great way to keep it fresh and fun. Hope you have a great day too!

Happy anniversary! And, hugs of course! Love the photos! And yes you spelled Mazel Tov correctly! Will you be getting married again in, maybe, New Zealand? I wanted to know if I should bring along a frilly dress!

The only frills allowed cannot be worn. Hey NZ sounds like a great idea. Must start “implanting” the idea in hubby’s head. Good one, and thanks for the greetings. Hugs back!
