I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three. Or, flipping that, I have three chances to remember it!)
To recap…
Our Three Weddings
* Feb 6, 2003 – legal wedding in our living room in Calgary with two witnesses and the cheapest JP I could find in the entire Calgary Yellow Pages (and yes, I called them all.)
* Mar 5, 2003 – married on the beach in the Mexican Mayan Riviera in front of just over a dozen guests. (This is the one we generally “count” as our real anniversary.)
* Aug 3, 2003 – we planned to have a “mock wedding” in front of guests at a reception in our small town but some guests were late, our bar man was already drunk, we didn’t have time to do a rehearsal plus the karaoke machine was warming up so we skipped it.
Anyhow, even though the March date is the one we “count”, today is a pretty significant as it’s our 20th wedding anniversary (legal version.)
And even though only one family member remembers it (and that’s because I think she gets notifications from MyHeritage), I figured this is a good song (a rare Music Monday re-post) to commemorate a pretty meaningful day:
“If We Were Vampires” – Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (the song is even more powerful when you know he wrote it for his wife who happens to be the fiddle player in his band)
