Almost 13 years ago and much to the disappointment of many family and friends, TB and I eloped in the back yard under an apple tree with just his best friend and my sister as witnesses. It was extremely romantic and one of the happiest days of my life.
We have been through a lot during these years and it took quite a toll on our relationship at times. This was a second marriage for me and first for TB. During these past couple of years since my Dad passed away and we have both been getting health issues under control, our relationship has taken a very positive turn. Last week we admitted we were truly in love and decided to renew our vows in church and in front of friends and family.
It will probably happen in August, though we have to set a firm date. It will be a small ceremony with a tea-style reception after. Then we will have a small dinner for only close family and friends in the evening. I will be planning both menus and designing the wedding cake, but I will get catering colleagues to do the work.
We are both very excited about this new chapter in our life together so I wanted to share it with you. Since we are all foodies, I thought I would report on the progress of the menus, and of course ask for feedback along the way.
Then, on September 15th we will have the honeymoon we never got - a 7 day Alaskan Cruise, round trip from Vancouver!
