Today is our 44th Anniversary of WEDDING! [Best friends since 1975 - Anniversary of Knowing] A wedding is a social pact. Getting married connects us with the ways of our ancestors and says to society, family and friends, "I have found the ONE." For us, the wedding brought our families together and was a collaborative event planned with parents. Above all, a wedding is a celebration of love. Early in the wedding planning process, we made a commitment that our wedding would be perfect no matter what. We agreed to separate our mental pictures from reality and choose reality. The surprises would make our wedding story more colorful. A wedding in a celebration. A marriage is a transformative adventure for a lifetime. In "Finding the One," we recommend: Choose wisely and then stop choosing, Making a lifetime commitment with our best friend, pursuing common goals, parenting together, making a home and sharing creative projects has supported and challenged the best in each other.
