As many know and I am sure through this blog some are learning Rob and I aren’t “normal” and as a part of us not being normal we decided not to get married on a “normal” day. So Rob and I chose to get married on February 29, 2000. A date that we had both decided on when we were young and before we had ever even met. I had decided when I was about 11 years old that I would get married on that day. I thought it was the greatest. I LOVED the idea of only having your anniversary every 4 years. So when Rob and I started dating we decided on that date. When it came around a few years later we decided we would do it. We were living together and had already decided to commit our lives to each other just not in a public way so this we thought would be perfect. We didn’t have much money so we didn’t do anything fancy. It was the day that was important to us and not so much the event. We were married in a minsters home that I found in the yellow pages. There was a total of nine people in attendance including the minister and his wife. It was a Tuesday night and afterwards we went to Mc. Donlad’s for ice cream. To add to the weirdness of it all I wore a black dress. I know it isn’t a beginning to a marriage that most people would want but it worked for us. Here we are coming up on our third anniversary and still together and happy.
It may not be a “normal” beginning but it was our beginning.
