Some Things Are Meant to Last.

20 Years ago today, I married my Best Friend, a.k.a My Darling Bride.

Our Anniversary Gathering was last Saturday. An evening made amazing by our Family, and even more amazing by the fact that 3/4 of our Wedding Party were there.

I guess we picked right.

Below is the text of a list I read out to the gathered masses, followed by a dance with M.D.B.

It's just like "The Twelve Days of Christmas", except some numbers are repeated others either exaggerated or lessened, and it doesn't rhyme.

Other than that...
