Oddly enough, we were married on Wednesday. Now you might say, who gets married on Wednesday? Well, you see, we eloped during our seven day Caribbean cruise. It was just Mark and me, a photographer, the minister and a limo driver. 💍
Just married!
Once we got back to the cruise ship, with just minutes to spare before sailing, we phoned my mom and dad with our happy news. Since it was $45 a minute to call, we were intending on keeping it brief but what happened next was crazy. Mom answered the phone and I said "hi mom. Mark and I just got married in the Virgin Islands." What I heard next was "oooh!" And, the connection was lost. We looked at each other and laughed. Well, that was brief, but the message got through. We carried on with our wedding day and went to party on the deck. We are part of many strangers cruise videos as "they?" filmed, us wherever we went. it was a great time! (Our video is on a VCR tape, that's how long ago we were wed!) 💕
My mom and dad picked us up at the cruise port with chilled champagne and flowers! They were delighted, and had spread the word to Mark's parents and all the family. Mom and dad gained a grandson in little Matt. Six weeks later, Mark and I hosted a party at our house in Boca Raton for about 40-50 guests. It was a blast. (We have video of that too; on VCR 🙄.)
At 4:30, we cracked a bottle of champagne, (compliments of Rod and Shay) and toasted our fine fortune, then headed out to the restaurant for happy hour.
The Goblin Market is an interesting place with tables amongst book shelves and candles. Dinner, downstairs, was very good. Mark had Caesar salad and New York Strip which was good .. I had twin 4 Oz filets with portobello mushrooms between. Delicious! We had a fun evening!
Back home, our doggies are happy to see us! It's snuggle-buggle time on the sofa in front of the TV. Ta Ta til tomorrow.
Congratulations on this great anniversary. We don't know a nicer couple. R & R
