Last week, on March 15, John and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The Ides of March, the 74th day in the Roman calendar corresponding to March 15, has had an ominous connotation ever since William Shakespeare put the warning to Julius Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March.” in his play of the same name. However, the date has a different connotation for John and me. It marks the date we legitimized our several-years-long union in a ceremony and memorable reception at the UT Alumni Center. Here is what we looked like 25 years ago when we cut the cake and celebrated our marriage.
Our wedding trip was a week-long visit to pre-Katrina New Orleans, filled with sight-seeing and more than a small sampling of the famous city’s food and beverages. Most of the pictures of our wedding and honeymoon are stored away in dusty photo albums, but maybe in the coming weeks I’ll pull them out and add some images to this post. In the meantime, here are a few images from the intervening years (in no particular order).
They mark some of our most cherished moments and memorable adventures, but not all of them by any means!
The last 25 years have been filled with joy and sorrow, ups and downs, and experiences we wouldn’t trade for anything. Happy Anniversary, My Love, I would welcome another 25 years by your side.
