That's what I said 18 years ago today. I laughed when I said it so it shouldn't have been any big surprise that my parents laughed when I told them I was getting married.
You see, the Husband and I hadn't know each other all that long, not quite 2 months and one day we were talking and he said, "Marry me, Stacey." and I laughed and said, "Ask me again when you're serious."
He was serious. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
And I said, "Yes." I wasn't really hesitating because, you see, I knew he was "the one".
I just knew. I guess not every one feels that way, but it was fairly early on when I knew we clicked.
18 years ago people started laughing when we told them we were getting married.
The Husband, a singer of show tunes (I know), will sometimes break into a few verses of They All Laughed when we talk about those days of sharing our news.
Here we are today, still together through ups and downs and all arounds. We've had 6 kids, lived in 4 states and had our share of joy and disappointment. We don't always agree and we don't always see eye to eye. One thing we do do...laugh.
Praying that you find lots of joyous things to laugh about and when life isn't very funny, I pray that you can find just a little bit of humor...it helps through the tough times.
-Peace
My husband and I got married two months from the day of our first date. That was almost 15 years ago. I truly believe that when you meet the person God has in mind for you, you just know!
