Look at that. It’s 20 (twenty) whole years since Mrs 6000 and I tied the proverbial knot.
We’ve enjoyed the many good times – and endured the several hard times – and we’re still here, together, stronger than ever. And both wearing our wedding rings on our [checks hands] left hands.
That’ll be my [checks map] Estonian and her [checks map again] Portuguese roots coming through, I guess.
We got married in Kirstenbosch Gardens on a day which was slightly sunnier than today. Always a risk playing with outdoor events at this time of year in Cape Town. But we got away with it and had a great day. If we’d tried it tomorrow (in 2025, at least), it would have been a disaster.
Honestly, I can’t remember the weather on 1st May 2005. I was too busy basking in the warm glow of recent marriage, and dealing with a mild hangover.
And it was only today that I learned that we shared our special day with the end of Adolf Hitler. We just did our thing 60 years later:
Unexpected invocation of Godwin’s Law. Happy Day(s).
Happy Anniversary, Mrs 6000!
Thanks for “putting up with me for sooooooo long0” – your kind words on a reply in a mutual Whatsapp group this morning.
Well, I hope we’re together for a long0 time to come.
