Happy Civil Wedding Anniversary!

Today reminds me of the "surprise" that Natasha and I had in Chile, 1992.(May 13, too)

You see, we were going to sign some paperwork with 2 witnesses that we were going to be married on July 18 (ya' know, the big church event). Well, what actually happened when we got there after signing something was that we were moved to another larger room with a justice of the peace, and family and friends started trickling in with smiles and flowers and cameras!

Huh?...well, a ceremony started and while we were holding hands we looked at each other and realized that we were actually getting married THEN, for all practical purposes. Later, her dad said, "oh, I thought you knew!"

Of course we weren't prepared for that so everyone was wondering for the longest time why she went home and I went and stayed by myself across the river in San Pedro.

It all worked out ok as you can see, we married on July 18...but we also celebrate this day, too, as an anniversary one.

Maybe I can surprise her with something today?...hmmm.

God bless you!
Love, Karl
