Ten years

Ten years ago, I was terribly busy. I had a big party to throw and it required a bunch of planning beforehand. I had to find a fabulous dress, pick out the perfect music, send out lots of invitations, locate a place to have it, and so much more...

I had to pick out a menu, then feed dinner to a huge crowd, including a fancy schmancy dessert.

There was major gardening involved - thousands of rose petals had to be gathered and distributed to all of my guests.

I even had to find a horse and carriage, right in the middle of a big city!

It took me about a year to plan this party, seriously. Isn't that crazy?

All so that me and this guy that I hooked up with in New Orleans almost 3 years earlier could officially spend the rest of our lives together.

(Here we are at Cafe du Monde, blurry pic'd and bleary-eyed after a night on Bourbon Street.)

It sure was a lot of work. But ten years after that party, I still think it was worth every little bit of it!

Happy Anniversary, B! I love you!
