Another Wedding at ADB
Steve Cole Reports: Seems love is in the air this year. Our warehouse manager Mike Sparks got married a few weeks ago. Graphic Director Matt Cooper got married just before he came to work for us, and former interns Jolene and Vanessa are both approaching their wedding dates.
The next wedding is a surprise one that nobody saw coming. No, I'm not talking about Petrick, the perpetual bachelor.
Leanna and I have been married for almost 30 years, and on our anniversary (17 Sept) we will be in Las Vegas doing this whole wedding thing all over. Leanna went out yesterday and bought a drop-dead gorgeous wedding gown to wear. (So she tells me. I won't be allowed to see it until the ceremony.) At our first wedding, Leanna never found a gown she liked and got married in a white cocktail dress that just about everyone agreed was pretty hideous. When I asked Leanna to marry me all over again just for fun, she said "Only if I get a real wedding dress this time."
It's strange, and I never expected to feel this way, but we're having that giddy, silly, giggly, falling in love thing all over. We've had the kind of deep, abiding, unspoken love that real marriages are based on for three decades, but we're now experiencing once again the magic we felt falling in love the first time. It's surprising and strange, but in a very good and romantic way.
The trip to Vegas and back (in the new car I bought her as an anniversary present) will include stops at the places we saw on the first honeymoon.
We will pick a nice chapel in Vegas for the ceremony. No, it won't be Star Trek (or Elvis), just a proper gown/tux wedding. I doubt the whole thing will last 15 minutes. We'll spend more time getting dressed than getting married. Vegas chapels aren't designed for huge crowds, but if anybody happened to be in Vegas that day and wanted a slice of wedding cake, you could Email me and we'll send you a notice of how to find us (once we pick a chapel).
And who knows. Things come in threes, and remember, Mike's wedding was not that long ago. Maybe Petrick will finally discover that girls can be kind of warm and cuddly and might decide to get one of his own.
