Twenty Years Today

Hey guys/gals...August 8th of 1980 was a very special day for me. It was the day I married the man of my life. We dated four years previous, so it will actually be twenty five years in total, come Dec 10th of this year.

The day of our wedding, I was twenty one years of age, and he was twenty, such a long time ago.

We grew up only a few miles apart, but I didn't really truly know him until Grade Ten. We lived in different communities, so we did not attend the same public schools. So, once a teen, everything changed.

I was incredibly shy, and always sat at the front of the bus, he sat at the back. He was most popular, even though I thought he looked like a nerd. He had the curliest hair, and little gold glasses. His cheeks were so rosy, and he always had the biggest smile. His short pants always had a perfect crease down the front of the leg, and his shirts were done up right to the last button. Nerd, in every sense of the word, but I fell for him regardless.

We had our first date, Dec 10th 1976, the night of our local Xmas party at the hall. My sister and our friend were to sing Country Roads for an audience of friends and neighbours. God, looking back now, I am sure we were awful, but they seemed to love us anyways. The guys, sat right in the front row, and I almost died from embarrassment. Needless to say, he asked me out that night to a party and so it all began.

I will not get into the party, but lets just say, it was a memorable one. After that, we just clicked, although I stayed incredibly shy. On the school bus, we began to sit together, but I always made sure I had my mitts on, so I would not have to hold his hand in public. God, how shy was that?

I remember our first dance together. *Take It To The Limit* by the Eagles. God, I loved that song. I remember what he was wearing, his smell, his laugh, how infatuated I was with him back then. He was so fresh, so wholesome, so sweet and he loved me...

Being abused as a child, affected me drastically in this budding new relationship. It took me two years to be fully intimate with him and he stood by me, and loved me regardless. How lucky, I was to have such a patient man who could wait until I was ready. I will never forget that, it meant the world to me. It still does.

Time has passed, twenty years, to be exact. We live in our own home on 24 acres of land and we love it. It's interesting, we live only minutes from where we both grew up. I guess once you live in the country, you just learn to appreciate the quiet. Two beautiful daughters were also blessed to us in 1984 and 1986. Children are a true gift to any marriage, and I love them more than life itself.

Married life has not always been easy though, their have been many trials and tribulations along the way. Together, we have lossed loved ones, we have hurt, we have cried. We have shared much in joy, as well as in sorrow. We have had our differences, our heated moments, our share of angry words. But through all of this, we have not forgotten our love, and most of all, our friendship. It always comes through, even in the hard and most sorrowful times. Forgiveness is also very important. Three little words, I am sorry, goes such a long way.

The true strength in a marriage, is communication, trust, and honesty. If you have those, then you have the basis for a solid relationship. Always talk, share, love each other unconditionally. Give all that you have, and always be the best you can be.

Hugs Katerina :)

*hugs* Happy anniversary, Katarina. Twenty years is something in a world like ours.. May your lives be filled with happiness, your eyes be filled with love for eachother, and each soul remain cupped in the palm of the other's hand. :)
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

What else is there to say?

I've got almost 11 years here, hope mine is as special as yours sounds.

I met my hubbyprecioustoodles on the drag strip in Wichita KS, I had a baby pickemup truck full of teenyboppers. I was, naturally, trolling for guys. It was 89, big hair, glam rock. Ugh. But you gotta have bait. It worked, he was riding his motorcycle with a buddy on the back who snapped at all that jailbait. I remember him clearly, it was October, chilly, he was wearing painted on jeans over that utterly incredible ass and a black leather duster. There was only one word to describe me when I saw him, creamy muffin. Two weeks later we said I do, well, I said I do, he said, I- I- *eyes rolling wildly* d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do. They said it would never last. We did :)

Katerina darlin, I hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine.

*lifting glass with sparkling apple cider* To Mr. and Mrs. Katerina, may love, laughter, and life be yours.
 
Kat,

That is a wonderfully romantic tale! Congratulations on 20 terric years!! Wishing you many, many, many more.

Off to find the Kleenex,

Payne

28 years old? Well, Siren, thanks so much for that my sweet friend. I only wish, or do I? No, I love being 41, I wouldn't have it any other way. I confess, Siren fibbed, but I love her for it.

Why am I here you ask? Gosh, hubbie had to work tonight, tis not fair. But, I decided I wanted to spend my anniversary playing on the board, since I can't play, errrr...ummmm, never mind.

What shall we do, what shall we do...I do believe we will wine and dine as soon as the opportunity arises. And then, hmmmm the rest is my secret, not telling. You guess.

Endlessly, thanks so much for your best wishes, they mean so much. Such powerful, beautiful words.

KillerMuffin, thanks for sharing your story. Wow, I am amazed, I do's after only 2 weeks. What an inspirational story. I am very happy for both of you.

Payne, awww, thank-you hon, can you pass me a tissue too? I think I am going to cry. Thanks so much for your well wishes.

Siren, Siren, I can print it out, but but....whatever shall he say, when he reads I called him a Nerd! Awww I will do it, just for you. Love you my friend. Thanks so much all of you.

Hugs katerina
 
April, thanks so very much. But as I said, it has not all been easy. We have had many ups and downs through the course of our marriage. Life starts out as a fairy tale, but we have to work hard to keep it that way. We have to always strive to make ourselves better and never stop saying, I Love you...

Carl, Whisper and Laurel, Thanks so much for your best wishes. You are all, simply the best. What a great place, there is such a sense of belonging here.

Again, thank-you.

Hugs Kat :)

HeeHee, Kat, you're gonna reach 500 with all these sweet thank yous!

Here, now dab your eyes, and know that when I grow up, about *never* years starting 11 ago, I wanna be just like you and have it all, cause to me you do.

I'm engaged, so maybe that's a start?!?!

Anywho, wishing you lots more happiness and thank you for giving the rest of us proof positive that happily ever after still exists.

sniffle :D
 
Oh Payne, thanks so much for the tissue.. You are too kind. I always, always acknowledge anyone who acknowledges me. It is simply my policy and it's only respectful, my thoughts anyways. Congrats on your engagement hon, thats most awesome. I wish you and yours many years of happiness on your upcoming marriage.

Thanks again, so much...lots of hugs Katerina xoxoxox
 
a very happy anniversary to you, kat. twenty years ago today, it would still be two years before i was to meet the woman who ten years ago became my lover and five years ago my wife.
when all is said and done, i guess it is a good thing being married to your best friend.

Tell him that you have a thing for nerds. Or at least one nerd. <G>

Happy anneversary. (Or should that be anneversaries, plural? Is this your Birthday too?)
 
Happy Anniversary.

Reading your post makes me believe there still may be that right one out there for me also.

Best wishes dear Kat .. what a wonderful story ...

I, too, married young .. but the outcome to that marriage was not as happy as yours ..

Everytime I think that your (and my) young age at the time was not mature enough for marriage .. there is someone like you to prove me wrong.

Congratulations to both of you!
