First of all, this pic of us at a baseball game accidentally jumped onto this post, and I couldn't figure out how to remove it, so just pretend you don't see it...it has nothing to do with this post.
This August 19th Ron and I will have been married for 30 years...AAAHHH! So to commemorate this momentous occasion we are doing 30 'mini vow renewals' in 30 different locations that have significance to our history together. This one (#5) is the site of our first 'public' kiss. We had enjoyed exactly 3 dates, the BYU semester was over, and Ron was returning to Saskatchewan for the summer to work. I was staying behind in SLC to continuing working. I took him to an address on Margaret street where he was to meet the other Canucks he was carpooling home with, and he caught me by suprise and kissed me goodbye..whereupon I informed him of my opinion on public displays of affection (negative). We sure didn't know eachother very well, in fact it's kinda scary that we got married 3 months from this incident. We said goodbye on Margaret Street in May '78, I visited him in canada for 1 week in july, and the next time we saw eachother was 3 days before our wedding on the 19th of august. Hard to believe, eh? Actually my theory is that if we had dated any longer, I probably would have talked us out of getting married at all, so - lucky for me - 3 dates (plus the farewell on this street), and the thrice repeated proposal worked out perfectly. I'm so glad Ron was persistent.
So kids, that's the story behind vow renewal #5. I'll post a few of the remaining 29 on this station over the next few weeks. Sneak Peak: our 30th will transpire in the place that our eyes first met, Spring of 1976, on the shores of Cape Tormentine, Nova Scotia, Canada, where Ron picked me up from the first ferry of the season to come off of Prince Edward Island. Romantic, huh? Who knew???
