White Rose |
So finally we got married after year and a half of planning, and been married for 12 interesting years. My wedding day was beautiful. We had so much fun, and I did not shed a single tear during that day - yes I was that happy. Okay I did some shedding before wedding, as some things didn't go the way I wanted, but then on the end it didn't really matter - it wasn't the flowers I was marrying, it wasn't the dress I was marrying. Beside me being happy, my husband being happy and the rest of the family being happy - one wandering wondering dog was happy too. And the story goes....
I didn't like my so perfect bouquet of flowers florist made me. I wanted something just simple and almost looking like it was hand picked. No she had to do her way. Well during a photo shoot whenever I had a split second time I would shake my flowers to make them look a bit messy. But the florist was good, it was hard to mess them up. I tried and tried, and finally walking on the side walk, pretending to be a star (yeah I had to do that once), beating the bouquet against my dress - hurray finally I lost one rose head. Then, to my surprise, from nowhere - a small white dog shows up, eats the rose head, lifts his/her tail up and walks away happy - a moment I will never forget of all wedding moments. Too bad photographer didn't see this one coming.
....and this is my Valentine story for this year! Its small may be meaningless moment, but been in my head for years.
Fun memories!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day!
So funny!! Thanks for the laugh Anna:)
ReplyDeleteHappy V-day to you and your hubby!
Hugs:)
So funny, so pleasant, so romantic, dear Anna:O)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Valentine!
Good story Anna! ...lol
ReplyDeleteLucky for me my wife does not like to make a big deal over Valentine's day. However, that said I always make it a point to let her know I remember (good thing for my age you know). Also, I don't need a yearly reminder to let her know I love her :-) I tell her often every day. Never the less .... Happy Valentines to you and your Husband. Pretty soon Matthew will be making Valentine Cards for his Mom.

I sure hope your dress was way out range when he cocked his leg? Haaaaaaaa, too funny! I'm picturing you battering your bouquet all the way up the aisle, perhaps much to the concern of your prospective in-laws.. giggle. Happy Valentines day, hon.
ReplyDeleteStine in Ontario yes they are fun memories to remember. Thanks for reading. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteD's World I am glad to put smile on your face my friend, thanks for kind wishes, and happy ones to you too. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteluly excellent choice of words. Thanks so much my friend. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteHey JD, thank you so much for visiting my stories blog. You know I think it says a lot about your wife and you, she doesn't seem materialistic, and you are loving person, the best qualities I wished many had. Yes Matthew is already doing cards with Daddy, lol. Thanks so much for your kind visit my friend. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim for your comment and glad you enjoyed my story. I am with you. I think laughing is the best medicine. Thank you for the wishes and same to you. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteShrinky, you are right the flower abuse didn't stop there, lol, I was trying to make it loose and messy, but like I said the florist must have used super roses and super cement to put them together. No body really noticed the mess either, and the missing rose, lol. Shrinky thanks so much for yoru comment. Always enjoy your visits my friend. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and kind comments.
That's a priceless moment, Anna. I believe a great marriage is made of such moments. If you can't be joyous in the midst of messiness and the unexpected, you can't be joyous. Life is messy, no?
ReplyDeleteHey Anna,
ReplyDeleteLOL I so get you! I am not romantic either (my husband is), and although I try to play along with his romantic demonstrations (out of love) I can help but to think "oh God, such a waste of money!" LOL *nodding*. But now I am getting better...I just let him do his thing (since it makes him happy).
I loved your wedding story: it is so cute :). Thank you for sharing it with us.
I wish you a marvellous weekend, my dear friend.
Cheers
Same to you too imac, thank for visiting my blog also. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteSan you are so right. I find it that the less I care and let it go, the better it is. Thanks for your thoughts San, appreciated. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteMax you are not, lol, I knew that. But you know its good that you let your husband to his part. Life is funny that way, how unique we are. Glad you enjoyed the story. And Matthew says to you 'olimpics', lol. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteHi! At least your hubby proposed somewhere decent, as I asked my wife-to-be to marry me in the hospital car park! Mind you, the mood lighting supplied by nearby fluorescent lights helped make-up for my poor location choice.
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Peter
Peter, you told me this once, you know probably something I would prefer, I hate being in the public in moments like that, lol. BTW you must be good then, that she said yes, lol. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteand you say you're not romantic....?
ReplyDeleteMust be the Engineer in you trying to be practical..but deep down, you are the most romantic blogger I ever came across
great story...just love it
