The
Story behind The Wedding
On December 2nd, one of my
CNA's came to me and asked me if I would
consider going on a double date... with
her and her husband... and a friend of theirs...
to see Neil Diamond! I told her there
was probably not a lot I wouldn't do to
see Neil Diamond. So, she gave him
my number and later that night, he called.
We talked for several hours and were surprised
to learn the similarities we shared. We
both called Maryland home... we both came
to Florida to be close to our parents late
in our lives... and we both liked the water.
And surprisingly, we lived just a
few miles from each other when we both lived
in Maryland.
We decided that maybe we would meet before
our date on Friday... you know, decrease
any jitters from just meeting, so we could
thoroughly enjoy Neil Diamond. So,
we decided to meet for a drink after work
the next day, December 3rd.
We met and although I would not say it was
love at first site, it was definitely love
within a few days.
When my friend, Marsha, learned that Mike
and I were dating, she smiled. She
had been trying to fix me up with this guy
for a long time and as it turned out, it
was Mike.
We went to the Neil Diamond's Concert in
the Round and thoroughly enjoyed it! We
actually were not ready to go home when
it was over but since we had come in Bob
and Susan's car, we were at their mercies.
So, the night may have ended early but our
relationship didn't.
From the day we met until the day we married,
twenty-eight days later, there was only
one day we were not together.
So, early on, we had made plans to go to
The Silverlake Club with my parents for
their New Year's Eve dance. By Christmas,
I had my dress and Mike had his tux on order.
We had no idea that we'd soon be wearing
those very clothes for something bigger
in our life.
Since we both lived with our parents, we
had little room for privacy so the day after
Christmas, Mike asked me to marry him. He
said we could get get married that very
day or plan an extravagant wedding or whatever
in-between. After much thought and
talk, we decided that New Year's eve would
be great! And this website is about
that day!
