The big day finally arrived. Barbara was up early, as usual. She went out to get her hair and nails done. She wouldn’t let me see her until she was all done. When she came out of the bedroom she was the most beautiful and radiant person I had ever seen. Another of Barbara’s traits was never to be late and I’m not the promptest person. She was anxious to leave and kept pushing me. I felt we left in plenty of time but there was a big storm earlier and a tree was blocking the road. She gave me the look. We did arrive on time. Barbara immediately took charge of everything. I tried to calm her but to no avail. Looking back at that moment I realize that she just wanted for the day to be perfect and it was. We wrote are own vows and when each of us read them the other started to tear up. For we both new that we were marrying our soul mates. After the service we went to the reception. We only had immediate family and close friends. Barbara only wanted the special people in our lives. I also believe that she was concerned about how much money we were spending. When we walked in the room Barbara looked and me and said, “This is the best day of my life”. As the party went on I watched Barbara dance with Roy, Frank and Al it was amazing site to see. She glided over the floor like and Angel. When she came back to the table after dancing with AJ she had tears in her eyes. She was the bell of the ball. From the time I met Barbara. knew that she was an extraordinarily strong woman but at our wedding her love of family and joy of life really came to the service. I remember telling her that I was the luckiest man a life. She gave me a big hug and a kiss and said, “Your dam right!” Now our life as husband and wife begins. And it was one hell of a life. We are both extremely passionate and type A people. But somehow in our own way we were able to balance most everything.
