The Marriage Meme

Jill at The Diaper Diaries tagged me for my very first meme. Well, actually she tagged “us” – but I’m going to do the meme and tag Emily so she can’t get out of it just because I did it. Ha! Here are 8 things about my marriage.

1) I met my husband in the 6th grade. He was the new kid at school. We got to be good friends in 7th grade, and then were boyfriend and girlfriend in 8th grade, for a whole year. He broke up with me and broke my little heart in 9th grade, but somehow, we remained best friends and got back together our senior year in high school.
2) We got engaged at a coffee shop that is now closed. The restaurant we ate dinner at that night is also closed, as is the restaurant we had our rehearsal dinner at. So…the marriage fortunately has had a lot more longevity!
3) After Bobby asked me to marry him, I cried uncontrollably for 45 minutes. They were tears of joy, I swear. They were just very unstoppable.
4) We got married on March 25th, 2000. It was a big wedding but a short one. The ceremony was only 8 minutes long. Even though we had a rehearsal, we were all somehow surprised by this!
5) We honeymooned in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was the most fun, relaxing week of my life!
6) I am very silly and Bobby is very reserved. Consequently, I embarrass him a lot in public, but he is just as silly as I am at home.
7) We have a nickname for each other: “Rarry.” It’s something his nephew used to say when he was a toddler.
8)My mom wanted me to marry Bobby, and in high school when we were broken up she was always trying to get me to go back out with him. Touche, Mom!

Ok, now in addition to tagging Emily, I tag Pumpkin Head Baby Co., Mom on Coffee, and Parent Smarter.
