It is hard to believe all that has happened in five years. We met, we fell in love, and we dated long-distance for two years. He moved away from his parents for the first time ever to be closer to me, got a new job, and changed his life around to make me happy. We moved in together, we went to about a thousand weddings, and we held each other's hands at a few sad funerals. We learned how to live with each other, he rightfully named my alter-ego "Cranky McCrankerson," and I acquired several funny stories about the strange conversations we have when he is half asleep. He gave me a sparkly ring, I put my heart and soul into planning the wedding of our dreams, and we shared a tissue in front of all of our guests.
We have a new anniversary now, so we won't celebrate our "meetiversary" with fancy dinners or gifts anymore... but Halloween will always remind me of the night we met and how very far we've come. Sometimes it still surprises me how everything worked out — how two people who weren't each other's "type" somehow had this immediate connection and wound up married five years later. Really, who would've thunk it??
Happy "meetiversary," Mr. Cupcake. I know sometimes I have a funny way of showing it, but I love you and I love what we have together. In honor of our love and all the fun we have together, here are a few photos from Halloweens past. May we share many more goofy costumes in our life together.
The Violet Beauregard costume I was wearing the night we met (that's my Matron of Honor/former roommate as Veruca Salt!)
