First of all, I feel like I know most of you pretty well as I've been primarily a lurker for a hundred years or so. I've felt your pain when reading your sad stories and cried tears of joy with many of you (congrats, soulmates) and most of all you make me laugh...thank you for all of that. So I hope you don't mind if I stumble through our tale.
By way of reference...OrlandoMike, we're the old broads who "rented" the nine year old last year for the trip to the World. (He couldn't keep up with us, btw.) I digress, as usual.
Most of you are younger than my partner and I are and we've spent a pretty discreet and boring (although happy) life together. We realized recently, though, that next Spring marks 20 years together for us. I'm not quite sure what happened, but we decided that the event was cause for celebration. It began as a small party of twenty or so and then suddenly, as our family and friends actually heard us talk about it (out loud which was highly unusual for us), it became a giant snowball and is now gathering speed and rolling through the glaciered areas of Wisconsin somewhere in the vicinity of 100 people or more involving a church, a catered reception and as of today we are the proud owners of a d.j. service for 4 hours or so having signed the contract. How did this happen and can anyone suggest how to make it stop???? We're very excited but it is a little bit like living through the 60's again...without the drugs and George Carlin!
I felt you folks might understand this mixture of emotions and my desire to a: share our joy and b: ask you to lend words of wisdom.
Try to be kind, boys....(hey, I've read you in action!)
Thanks and love to you all. Appreciate the chance to share.
