Last Sunday he took me out to a beautiful place down on the beach to watch the sunset. We haven't had much alone time together lately and it was really nice for just the two of us to spend some quiet time together. On the way there, all of the songs on the radio were good ones. When we got to the resteraunt Stromba requested a table outside so we could watch the sun set. Our 20th anniversary is coming up and he was talking about how fast the years have gone by. We talked about the time he asked me to marry him, where we were, and how when he asked me I didn't even realize he was proposing marriage. Then he asked me if I'd still marry him. Jokingly I hesitated a bit, but of course I said yes. Dopey me, I didn't realize he was proposing again! Then he took my hand and got very serious and gave me a real proposal, he pulled out a diamond ring and asked me to marry him all over again, on our anniversary on Sept. 25th, in a church with just a few close friends and our family. I was so filled with emotion I could hardly speak any words other than yes and I love you.
When we got married 20 yrs. ago we went to City Hall but deep down, Stromba has always wanted a church wedding. He had already spoken with the pastor and has the church reserved for our wedding. Stromba had told our daughter his secret about 10 minutes before we left the house, so the first call he made after I said yes was to her. She was so happy. I asked her if she'd be my flower girl and she said thanks for making her dream come true because she's always wanted to be a flower girl. LOL
It's weird, we've been together for 20 yrs. but now we're planning a real wedding! We have so much to do to get organized in 4 weeks. The pastor wants us to write our own vows. At the resteraunt a few people came over and said congradulations. All I could do was smile between little bursts of tears. I am so in love with this man!
I just bought my dress yesterday. A beautiful blue dress from Cachet. I had tried it on ealier in the week and it was too small from monthly bloat...just a few days later and it fit (still a bit tight so time to buckle down on the diet for a few weeks). It's strapless with beadwork on the front and it laces up in the back like a corsette. The beadwork goes down in points into the top part of the skirt part of the dress including the back. It needs to be shortened so I'll go back for that. My husband laughed when he saw 3 bridal magazines on the patio table. I already know the place for the cake and found a pic. in one of the magazines of what I want. The reception will be catered here at home so I've got some decorating to do! My friend and daughter keep saying I need a head piece...I don't know what to do!
Then today, just after I bought the dress, an online friend who I haven't met in person yet asked me to be her maid of honor at her wedding, 3 weeks after mine. I'll get to wear my blue dress again! LOL

You two are such an inspiration! I hope my honey is still as romantic after 20-some years! When's the actual date?
