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&#8217;t have much money so we didn&#8217;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&#8217;s for ice cream. To add to the weirdness of it all I wore a black dress. I know it isn&#8217;t a beginning to a marriage that most people would want but it worked for us.
