1095 Days

Three years ago today, a wonderful romance started over a pot of fondue and a couple glasses of wine. We started with cheese, in four months we'll end with cheers. I guess it'll be more of a beginning than an end, but you get where I'm going.

I had forgotten until I went back and read this post that Mr. Wonderful made a joke about us being married on our first date. So last night, as a friend of ours was talking about how he may have met the girl he's going to marry, I asked Mr. W when he knew that I was The One.

"Was it after our trip to San Francisco?" I guessed.

That was our first weekend away together—to a wine festival in the city. We'd been dating two and a half months by that point and I was 100% sure I was crazy about him. Even though he knew he might be falling for me, he wouldn't say the words for another six months.

"Yeah, I think I knew because you didn't bug me," he replied.

Ah yes, that's what love is. The winning recipe for an engagement ring: don't bug them. You don't have to be witty or pretty or interesting. Just refrain from bugging.

Good thing he was nice to me when he took me out for a schmancy dinner at Spago Monday night...

Happy 3rd Anniversary to my other half. :* :* :*

Happy anniversary, Pumpkin. I look forward to 50 more years of you not bugging me too much.

Time flies when someone's not annoying the crap out of you, eh? :) Happy three years!

Danielle said...

Heres to many more happy anniversaries!

You know, if you stop and think about it, that's a damned big compliment.

My husband doesn't bug me too much either. That may be the heart of the matter right there.

Ha.

Brookem - Haha thank you. :)

LesleyG - Apparently so! Although the 6 months he was in Europe last year seemed to move at a glacial pace.

Danielle - Thank you! Hopefully marriage won't start up a new "bugging" phenomenon.

YGTBKM - Okay maybe there is something to this. When lust starts to fade, at least we'll have non-bugging on our sides...

Seriously, not bugging another person is a big deal. Tons of people bug me but Mr. Darcy only bugs me sometimes so I think I will keep him.

Congrats on 3 yrs!
