I Married My Best Friend
September 4, 1999
Thirteen years ago, I married my best friend. This year also marks us being together for 20 years! Yep, you’re right … we met when we were 10. Well, okay, we weren’t quite that young, but we were 16. He was cute with blonde hair, blue eyes, and he drove a Mustang. We became best friends almost immediately. The saying on our wedding program was, “Today I married my best friend.” Today, we’re still best friends.
We received a card with perfect words for thinking about the last 13 years:
Love has little to do
with moonlight and balconies
and everything to do
with patience, acceptance,
and hanging in there.
Love can’t always
move mountains
or change the world overnight.
But it can open its arms
at the end of a long, bad day
and welcome you home
to true belonging.
Love brings a beautiful wholeness.
Nothing else quite compares
with the sense of completeness
that comes from sharing
with that one special person for a lifetime.
