8 Random Facts About My Marriage

Mrs. Diamond tagged me with a meme, which is to list 8 random things about my marriage. Oooh--fun!

1. Michael and I eloped. A guy that I worked with conducted the ceremony. I wasn't even aware that he was a pastor since he worked full time at the dental lab I was at, but someone pulled him out of the lunch line and paired us together. We really wanted to elope, so we preferred to quietly keep it away from our home churches.

2. I officially met my husband on Valentine's day when I sang at his church.

3. I unoffically met him about three years earlier when he was dating a girl that I worked with. It was more like a brief nod at that time.

4. This year is our 19th year of marriage.

5. We were so broke in the early years that we borrowed the money for our wedding rings. They are simple gold bands, and I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

6. Both of our moms were playing Bingo while we were saying our "I Do's"

7. We've never gone on a honeymoon, in fact we don't travel much at all.

8. Michael is a procrastinating thinker who doesn't take a step until all of the angles are considered, and I'm a fly by the seat of my pants/take a chance kind of girl.

I'm going to tag...Paula, Val, Iris, Gen, and Laurel
