It was a fun meeting - we really like Ben Thomas, our representative with Morgan Keegan. We were joking around, when suddenly Ben said, How long have you guys been married?
Kelly told him it will be 10 years next month. Ben laughed and said, Gosh, you all just get along so well.
Of course we do!
But we decided to share our Story with Ben, beginning with meeting and becoming friends, and ending with our company announcing we were engaged (miscommunication...it happens) before we'd ever gone out on a date.
Kelly summed up the story by saying:
So, the secret to a good marriage is
a strong foundation of friendship.
Whether you choose to get engaged
before your first date or not
is up to you!
Fun :) I didn't realize we were married in the same month. What date? Ours is 5/25/96.
ReplyDelete5/29/99
ReplyDeleteI've always been sad that I missed your wedding while living overseas. Not, of course, that I regret one minute of being overseas, just that I really would have enjoyed witnessing your marriage ceremony!
Oh, that's no problem -- we've got it on video ;) heh, heh, heh...
ReplyDeleteI still think it is funny that mine is the 25, yours is the 29th and mom & dads is the 1st. We all liked the weekend so the later the year, the earlier the date. lol Loads of fun. Jeremy and I realized that we have been married almost 7 years and it doesn't feel like it. I think that is the key to a good marriage too. Have fun living together so much that time just flies by.
