To the memories of yesterday, the laughter of today and the promise of tomorrow.
The weather was perfect, our families were reasonably well-behaved. I spied on you from the Bride's room as you got your pictures taken. The wedding started an hour late. Galls interrupted our big entrance and got a standing ovation. Dinner started late because people were watching the bats come out. My dad made me cry and then CB got me all snotty. Our song was "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire got the party dancing. Cliffy is the BEST dancer we know. You got cake in my eye. No matter what she claims, my mother got drunk. The last song of the night was "Last Dance" by Donna Summers (a special treat from the band). After the reception, you got drunk while I opened all of the gifts and ate more wedding cake. It was the best day of my life.
Three years ago today, I made a lifetime pact with my best friend. Each day is an adventure and I wouldn't trade this for anything. This life together far exceeds anything I could have hoped for, and that is counting the snoring and cover-keeping.
We are each other's business, We are each other's harvest, We are each other's magnitude and bond.

sounds like a kick-ass wedding and reception.
what are Galls? Gauls? I'm picturing barbarian hoards, here, so clear that one up for me tpon. unless you want me to keep imagining a bunch of Gallic soldiers bowing to a few hundred dressed-up revelers.

For the benefit of Dutch and others... "Galls" is one of N.'s old roommates. Great NY-Irishman. A party just isn't a party without Galls.

While I'm sure Galls is a great guy, I hope you guys got a standing ovation at some point in the night!
Happy Anniversary!

Happy 3 Years!! I hope that you are doing something terribly romantic to celebrate. No changing diapers. That's what Grandma is for, right?
PS You were a beautiful bride!
