Ten years ago.

Ten years ago, I was coming up 25 (and felt so old!), drove a powder blue Rover Mini that someone special restored for me, lived in a lovely old flat and spent too much money on skateboard trainers, CD's and books. Oh, and I got married. *grins*

Today is our 10th wedding anniversary and - bizarrely enough - the weather is pretty much the same. And by that I mean it is raining heavily!! We got a 10 minute window running to the registrars and a whole hour to take photos before it started up again. It was a lovely day, though. Very relaxed and informal and by seven thirty we were on our way to the airport to go on honeymoon. And I walked down the aisle to the Verve since I can't stand the traditional wedding march shenanigans. I don't think I would change anything if I got married tomorrow!

I can't truthfully say we've had no fights, disagreements or short periods of tension but, y'know, I think we've done pretty damn well. He's still one of my best friends and still manages to surprise the hell out of me with what he knows and thinks. Plus he makes me laugh like a drain on a regular basis. Oh, yeah, and there's that love thing, too. *g* And he restores brilliant cars.

Happy Anniversary, Spouse. And a big "yah-boo" to all those who thought we were nuts getting engaged after 5 months - I was right and you were wrong, ner-ner-nerner-ner!! Here's to the next 10! *muah*

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
