Today is my twentieth wedding anniversary.

Both Rob and I took the day off work (and boy, isn't that a rare event for us to have the same day off, on our anniversary!). We are going out to see a noon matinee of "A Prairie Home Companion," taking the girls. It seemed appropriate, since we've been listening to that show since we started dating, and it's a way to include them on our special day.

Then we will go to Sears to have our picture taken, as we do every year on or around our anniversary. This year will be a special one, because we're going to be taking our decade picture. On our tenth anniversary, we took a picture of us holding up a 11" x 17" picture of us on our wedding day. Today, we will hold that picture up, so the effect will be seeing the two of us in a tunnel back through time. On our thirtieth, we will hold that picture up. I saw a picture of a couple who had done this every decade for fifty years, and it was truly moving, a stunning depiction, in one image, of how they had changed throughout all their years together. I'll post a copy when we get the picture back, which will take a few weeks.

After that, we'll take the girls to their karate class, and then Rob and I will go to dinner together at Lucia's. I got a gift certificate, a very generous one, from one of my attorneys for Christmas. Hurray for attorneys with money to burn!

I check in so infrequently lately that it's just a happy accident that I happened to hit you on your anniversary. Congratulations to you and Rob—that really is a big milestone (pun most definitely intended).

Happy anniversary - may you have many more satisfying years together! That photo idea sounds wonderful. Our 10th is next year - might have to borrow the idea. :)

Oh, do. I think it's a great idea that should spread far.

I'll post ours once we have it back, and hopefully that will inspire you.

Happy anniversary! It's a bit disheartening, though, sometimes, that Louie and I, having married each other so late in our respective lives, might not make it to our own 20th -- I will be 72 years old and Louie 69 when that happens, and we can only hope our health holds out. The picture idea, though, does sound wonderful, a tradition well worth others among us emulating. I hope the next year is, and years are, good to both of you.

Congrats! (Can it really be twenty years? I guess so. How time flies.) I am thunder-struck with admiration for your photo tradition. What a powerful idea. I remember trying to manage a family photo once. Simply getting all of my family members to the studio proved beyond me at the time. Sigh. I've been really bad about photos. I love looking at the ones you post. Your kids are super and a joy to observe from afar. Thanks for sharing.

Yay for both you guys.

I suppose for an anniversary present I could tell you that I posted a short BBM fac/fic, but that would be wrong!

I LOVE that idea! We'll definitely have to copy that in... 7 years time ;)

Congratulations on your anniversary, and thank you for telling me the story of your engagement. Such a sweet and romantic story :-)
