Default 22 years ago today ...

(In the theme of Sgt. Pepper)

It was 22 years ago today,
That we had the chance to say,
In the chambers of the judge that day
To hold and say Love Me Do
So may I introduce to you,
The act that's been going for all these years,
Pat and Nisa's Fantastic wedding day

Yep, 22 years ago today, I was in the Philippines marrying the young lady I had, up until that time, written to for the previous 4 months. We had only been together for a mere 7 days.

We both took a big chance, and took a giant leap of faith. I love her so much more than ever. We are complete opposites, but we compliment each other. She took the biggest risk. She left everything she's ever known in the Philippines to come here and start a new life with me. We knew of each other only through letters (we were pen-pals), and a few phone calls until I came over to be with her and her family - for 10 days.

She arrived in the US with nothing more than a suitcase. All I had was a car and shared an apartment with a close friend.

Nisa is my best friend, partner, and lover. She is my strength. She understands me better than I do myself.

Airfare to marry her: $1200
Marriage License: 4 packs american cigarettes (seriously)
Our life together: Priceless!


I am incredibly blessed.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Default Congratulations!

Pat, congratulations to you and Nisa on your anniversary (22 is the "protein anniversary", right? Or is it "linen"? I can never recall... ) - may you both have many, many more happy, healthy years together!
