Promptly at 2 pm the bride took her first step
down the aisle toward her future husband. At 2 pm
plus 30 seconds she whispered, "So, you think I'm
doing the right thing?"
No ... this wasn't our Board Broad Lisa's
(Enseno) wedding last Saturday. It was mine.
Twenty-nine years, 15 days, three hours and some
fourteen minutes ago. And I really did turn to my
godfather, gripped his hand tighter and whispered
those exact words. Hey, I was just a baby. I didn't
know what the hell I was doing. I still don't!
But watching Lisa walk toward Keith brought all
the memories back and I wondered, How can you
make a marriage work? What have Banker and I
done to survive twenty-nine years of wedded bliss?
(Okay, maybe 18 years of bliss, 9 years of
compromise, and 2 years of wondering just who the
hell this guy is - rofl) I've thought about nothing
else for days. And I finally came up with the
definitive answer: I HAVEN'T A CLUE! I have no idea
why my marriage works and I'm afraid if I dissect
it and look for answers I would probably screw up a
pretty good thing.
However, several pearls of wyzdom came to me in
a semi-conscious state (the state being Illinois
after Old Wym imbibed a most delicious peach
concoction.) I thought I'd pass the info on, though
please feel free to disregard everything that
follows because I really have NO idea what I'm
talking about. And I am blonde after all.
- Finding a soul mate is similar to making a
lifelong friend online ... you can't believe
that it will really happen, but it can. And when
it does its quite amazing.
- Don't settle for anything less than being
adored. Remember you are a goddess.
- If quality time spent with your chosen life
partner lacks peals of laughter, giggles of
delight, and very loud moans of pleasure on a
regular basis ... think twice.
- Make sure you love your someone for who he
IS, KNOT for who you wysh he was. Repeat after
me ... Roarke is a fictional character. However,
there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a little
role-playing now and then <eg>
- Consider TWO tubes of toothpaste. No need
for a relationship to end because he doesn't
squeeze the bottom - unless the bottom is yours.
;-)
- Always feel free to speak your mind. You
don't have to agree on everything, but you do
need to respect each other's differences. Unless
of course he thinks you're spending too much
time with your nose in a book. Under those
circumstances, kick him to the curb!
- You should always have a plan - I don't know
exactly why, but NancyO (Ottis5) says its a good
idea and I trust her implicitly. Lol.
- Never, never, NEVER yell out Roarke's name
while in the throws of passion. For some reason
guys seem to take a long time getting over that.
Geesh, it was a simple mistake!
- See #8 ... this is totally acceptable if you
are alone :-)
- Make sure he will accept you faults and all.
Make sure he is loyal and true. Otherwise ...
puppies will do that with unconditional love
thrown in.
Well dear Board Broads,even if you ignore all
the above you still have a fighting chance if you
remember this: "There is no remedy for love but to
love more." Thoreau.
Try it. You have nothing to lose.
