The most important day of my life

May 5, 2007
1:07 am

This is it. May 5th, 2007. Deep breath.

Today I get married to Sarah, the love of my life. I’m nervous not out of lack of confidence. She’s the one. Now is the time. I’m nervous simply because I’m fully aware of the gravity of this day. I can’t minimize the importance in my mind. It’s hard not to be nervous on the most important day of your life, no matter how sure you are of your decision.

I’ll be on honeymoon through May 11th. No e-mail, no phone. No contact with the outside world. Conduct yourself accordingly!

In other May 5th news, congratulations go out to three (well, five) other people today. First to Lloyd Budd, who closes on his first house today with his wife Julia. Second, to Daniel Jalkut who is also getting married today. Third, to Charles Stricklin, who is celebrating his birthday.

Also: Mexico. :-)

    You already know you two are in my prayers and best wishes. Have a great time on your honeymoon, and we to see some pictures when you get back.

    As for my 47th birthday, my family and I went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and I’m still stuffed 12 hours later. I also received a “Nobody Reads My Blog” t-shirt. :D

    Mark,

    My eagerness, to get a reply from you, on one of my WP support requests landed me on this blog.

    “Congratulations and Celebrations! La La La La!”

    You’ve certainly waited for a long long time; February 25, ‘06 being the earliest.

    My best wishes for your future.

    It’s quite late but I wanted to congratulate you and Sarah. Incidentally, I got married (2 years now) in May, your marriage kind of brings back many memories.
