The Date: March 12
The Location: Under the Rosedale Agassiz Bridge
The Characters: Elmer and Judy
The Props: 1969 Acadian, blue
8-track cassette, Everly Brothers...'Devoted to You'
And most importantly...
...the ring.
The Question: Will you marry me?
The Answer: I think I was speechless...but he knew the answer before he asked!
The Occasion: Our engagement.
And this morning when I awoke...I was speechless as well. Hmmm...I had no post prepared and wondered what I would blog about this morning. Then I noticed the date...and knew there was something very good about this day. Thirty-eight years ago...I found the right words as well. I said 'yes'...and I'm so glad I did.
There's something good about this day in 2009 as well...I just glanced out the window and saw this beautiful moon this morning...and so I'll share it with you.
Have a wonderful March 12th!
How lovely to look back and remember those special days. Your post intro read like the opening of a great story - and I'm sure it truly is, in real life!
ReplyDeleteHad to chuckle Judy.. you said nothing prepared and then you come up with a special post!
ReplyDeleteAw....you reminded me of those special days!
ReplyDeleteOh, the important decisions we made when we were so young and having no idea what life would hold! I too am so thankful for the choices ones I made!
Okay, cross out the extra word back there!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, Judy and Elmer!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with these March anniversaries in BC? Must be the springlike weather...
Hope that Elmer has some special plans since, obviously, you don't! LOL!
Great shot of the full moon...
A lovely and romantic story, and a beautiful ring too.
ReplyDeleteI remember those 8-track cassettes...things certainly have changed since then!
Congratulations my friend! I hope you both have a special romantic evening together, and I hope the moon is as beautiful as it was in the picture. Thirty eight years is certainly commendable...wish you 38 more!
