Happily Ever After Chapter 3

Today marks my third wedding anniversary. And, when I tell you that I can't believe how fast the time has jetted past, I'm not kidding. Three years; I suppose that means I'll sadly have to stop referring to myself as a newly wed. But I hope each anniversary that mounts up never means that Michael stops thinking of me as his Bride.

Part of the reason it's so hard for me to realize that three years has gone by, is because I have the odd sensation of never having been with Michael, and yet waking up and looking at him every day, I realize I still feel like it's a new relationship...a new love...a building bond...a best friend.

Laura, Moi, Melissa

Yesterday, I met Melissa and Zach at a very charming place to take a look to see if this should be the venue for her wedding next October. Michael had appointments so couldn't go with us. About ten minutes after we started our tour, a door opened behind us, and when we looked up, there stood My Lion! He made the effort to find the place and stop there between his scheduled appointments because he wants to be part of this for his daughter.

But, the most amazing thing happened for me. I was so delighted and surprised to see him coming toward us, that my heart started to beat fast, and I got butterflies like you do when you're in that first flush of love; the madness of the mating. Oh! To think that I can still feel that way when I see my Beloved...what a gift.

So, today is our anniversary. And I am blessed. We got married the day after Thanksgiving. I thought it seemed fitting because I am, indeed, very thankful. Michael's story is that he did it to keep me out of the stores on Black Friday and stop the credit cards from melting.

Oh, that man of mine...what a dear to always be looking out for me like that! Happy Anniversary, My Lion. You make my life complete.

Namaste' Till Next Time,
Holly aka Mrs. Michael Frock

Aren't those unexpected butterflies wonderful? I still get them after 16 years of marriage :-)

Congratulations and Happy 3rd Anniversary Holly and Michael. Wishing you many, many more.

And congrats to Melissa! Planning a wedding is very exciting.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for your friendship.

Michael's story is that he did it to keep me out of the stores on Black Friday and stop the credit cards from melting. That sounds suspiciously like a Larryism.

Congratulations to you and Michael on your third anniversary. And those butterflies you mention? I get them too after a dozen years of wedded bliss, so chances are they don't go away when the union is a good one.

Bless you Holly. Bless you both. And many many more wonderful healthy happy years together!

Oh what a romantic post! I love how you are in love with your Michael! I can tell you that after 10 years with my James, my heart still leaps when I see him, especially when its unexpected. And I'm sure it will be that way for you too after 10, 20 or even 30 years. Happy Anniversary to both of you!

Holly and Michael, Happy Anniversary, I don't know why I thought it was longer. May your love continue to grow year after year. Hugs

Jeanne Frances Klaver said...

You look like Royalty in these photos; so regal, so blissful, so "in the know." Congratulations.

jkc said...

It truly does not seem like three years in some ways and in others it seems much longer...because we met you before you were married...and it seems as if we have known each other for years. May you and Michael have many more happy years together. We did not know Melissa was getting married...how exciting!

Happy Anniversary! Hope your day was wonderful! My son's birthday is on this day, too! And you and my dad share the same birthday!!!

Suzie said...

Belated, but heartfelt congratulations on your Anniversary, Holly! It is truly magical that you found someone who can still take your breath away, give you butterflies in your tummy, and make your toes curl.But in getting to know you, I'm not surprised that you found your Mr. Right. You deserve the happiness and goodness that is bestowed upon you. I'm sure that Michael thinks that he is the one that has been given the gift.

Your wedding photos are lovely, and are a mirror of your very special day! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

Wishing you many, MANY more years of bliss!

Hugs,
Suzie
