My Best Friend…

I can hardly believe that two years ago today, I married the most amazing person I’ve ever met.  D is selfless, he’s caring, he’s funny…and I couldn’t imagine where I would be without him.  We were married by our good friend, Don who is having some rough days right now after having to put down his best dog-friend, Dozer (we love you Don, and you’re in our prayers).  We couldn’t imagine anyone else marrying us, and I’m so thankful he was able to travel down and do our ceremony.  Then there was the pre-nup joke that my father-in-law pulled on me at the reception.  He handed me an manila envelope that had “Pre-nup” written on the front.

I reached in and pulled out a document that read:

“Pre-Nuptial Agreement, May 31, 2008 – I, Lacy, do hereby freely and whole-heartedly enter into this agreement today.  I promise that I will teat my father-in-law like a king from this day forward, (whenever he’s wearing a tiara).  I promise that my children, his grandchildren, will not be permitted to push him down the stairs in his old age, to make fun of his wrinkles, hair color, or waistline – as long as he buys them toys on a regular basis.  I further more promise that on his birthday each year I will subtract, not add one candle – so I can reduce the carbon emissions and slow global warming.  I will fan him with palm-branches whenever the temperature is over 78 degrees – on the condition that he has not mentioned the Morcon jacket for at least 3 week prior.  (Since he probably can’t ever do that I don’t expect to be buying pal branches any time soon.)  In short, I will do my best to try and be nice to him.  What more can one ask?  Signed Lacy, The Marvelous Miss Lacy (best thing that’s happened to Terry since Shelly!), Witnessed Terry (while holding my shotgun to Lacy’s back).”

I now have this framed in my house for quick reference .  What can I say…I’ve got it all:  Family, spouse, in-law’s and friends that are AMAZING.  Thank you to everyone who was a part of our special day 2 years ago, and thank you to everyone who has come into our lives since then.  D and I love you all!
