Hooray for Marriage= and Happy Anniversary to June Bride and Grooms
Friday, June 26, 2015 at 1:13PM David and I just celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary yesterday. We walked to Sheep Pond. I had a silky swim. David told me that in the Bill Bryson book he is reading that there is something in certian waters that makes it feel silky. Whatever that is, Sheep Pond has it.We then had a delicious dinner at Bucca's in Harwich- very romantic and fun.
Our marriage is in a good place right now. I would say we are on an even keel. Far from rocking the boat my husband's retirement has brought us closer. We are one of those couples who are so very different;not each other's best friends. Now that we are figuring out how to be better spouses it feels like the friendship is growing.
Hey before I go on let's give a cheer for Marriage = Equality. To all the couples especially from the South, who came to Cape Cod to wed, I want to say Hooray! Y'all really means you ALL.

Rainer Marie Rilke-On marriage--
The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. and once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.
After 27 I am happy to say that "I still do." I am also more committed than ever to my marriage and yours.
As for the traditional vows they are essential "to have and to hold, from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, in good times and in bad ......." Have fun with your personalized vows but remember the essence of the ceremony is the promise to be a faithful spouse for a lifetime. That makes picking up your socks sound really simple!
Don't Worry. Be Married,
Love and Happy Anniversary to all you June Bride and Grooms.
