20 and counting

It was 20 years ago and we got married in the afternoon, I think with all the preparation, and nerves, no one ate much that morning. As soon as the ceremony was over a luncheon was served, but not to the bride and groom, they were ushered off to work with the photographer. From time to time a bridesmaid or grooms man would be called over for a shot and have to put down their plate and wipe their mouth  for a picture. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I can't help thinking "how rude!" SO the evening went on , one technical wedding requirement after another, First dances, Guarder, and Bouquet toss, cutting of the cake. Thinking back on it, that was the only bite we had that night. No wonder when 9 pm started rolling around the groom was ready to leave. A quick stop to change clothes and hose off all the shaving cream from off the car and we were on our way. Just one loud belly growl and we knew we needed food. We didn't think about the significance of what we chose to eat, or how it might seem silly 20 years later, we just ran through the BK drive thru and each got a Whopper.
It may be teased as the cheapest 20th anniversary dinner in history, but it was sweet, and reminiscent, and Id be happy to have a whopper with this man in another 20, or  any day!
