Six Years!
So...yesterday, Tuesday, March 15, 2011 was the sixth anniversary of "The Kiss Test". Which we both passed. To explain ...
Previously, on Boerne to Vegas ... January 25, 2005:
LGW and KAF had been communicating by phone, webcam chat, and email, beginning with their chance meeting on eHarmony.com. This communication had been going on for about six weeks, when it was decided that LGW should pay a visit to Texas. So, on Tuesday, March 15, 2009, KAF picked LGW up at San Antonio International, where they each took "The Kiss Test". Having passed that test, they moved on to having their first lunch together, and some other things.
LGW met KAF's family, coworkers, etc. They spent about 4 days in that mode. Then, they got in KAF's car and drove to LGW's home in Fabulous Las Vegas. They then married at the Garden of Love Chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard on Monday, March 21, 2005. The Garden of Love is closed now, but at least they didn't implode the building as they are SO want to do here!
After a few days, they both drove back to Texas, where KAF worked for about 2 1/2 more weeks at the Boerne Public Library. During these days, they renewed their vows at St. Mark's UMC, because Pastor Cheryl wanted them to have a church wedding. KAF's Sunday School class hosted a reception afterwards, complete with cake - we still have the topper - it's on our dresser. Then, we packed up and, well, you know the rest of the story. (Any questions?)
So, next Monday will be our Sixth Wedding Anniversary. I've looked up which gifts one might give on the Sixth Anniversary. They are: Candy and Iron. Wood is listed as an alternate gift idea. I am now speechless.
