My Wedding Anniversary Post

Today is our 19th wedding anniversary. I will not mention her name because she is not a bloggertype.

May 1, 1990 we were married in her Parish and we had our reception in my clan's restaurant. My Mom decorated the place with sampaguitas (a local flower) whose fragrance that evening I remember to this day. We even cut our cake atop a balsa, a bamboo raft. Every room, there were five I think, had a roast pig.

I have always heard the term "beside myself with happiness" but I never knew what it actually meant. That evening when we went up the stairs of the Main Floor I was beside myself, its like I was watching myself from a short distance.

I was happy of course, I love my wife, my wife of 1 1/2 hours ago that evening but I was pretty scared too. Yeah, I was terrified. What would married life be like ? The question kept on banging in my head. What would I do ? How do I take care of kids ?

I told my Daddy to have a simple reception, I wanted to live up to my name as a non-conformist. But alas, he was the one who was going to pay for these things and he was the one to decide that. They said, my Mommy specially that they are having this big reception for my wife because they love her dearly, they are so proud of my new wife.
