Fifteen years ago

| | Comments (6) | TrackBacks (0)

Fifteen years ago, I invited Charlene out to help me pick out a new pair of glasses. That was the excuse. Where did I really take her? To Corner House Restaurant, near Casa Loma. After dinner, on a walk, I pulled the ring out my pocket and asked her a question, and the rest is history.

Before I got married, I learned a lot about marriage from a counselor in seminary who was trying to teach us what to expect when we started counseling couples one day. Nothing, of course, prepares you. Marriage has been different from what I expected, probably harder, but in every way better than I imagined back as a single man. I'm a lucky (blessed) man because she said yes fifteen years ago tonight.

You sure ARE lucky Darryl. You need someone to keep you on the Straight and Narrow, (as do I, as do I.)

If she had said "No," I don't know where you would be tonight.

All kidding aside.... Congratulations to you both. We wish you many, many more years of blessings together.
