Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. David and I met over 15 years ago and it kind of blows my mind.
Right before we got married, David and his friends made a home video. One of David's lines was "15 years! 15!!" At the time 15 years seemed like a freakin' lifetime. 15 years before that, I was six and David was 10.
When David and I had been dating one year, we walked around BYU together talking about what a long time a year was. We had been dating a whole year! Oh. my. heck. That seemed amazing. Neither of us had ever dated someone for more than a few months before.
One of the things I loved (and love) about David is how funny he is. On our first date, he and his friend Crapples made more jokes than anyone I'd met before. They also kept saying moted (which my friend from CA had to explain to me; I still don't know if it's spelled moted or moated) and goodn. He'd go through these streaks of jokes and the repetition would just make it funnier.
The day we got married was great, but a little surreal. It felt like it was probably more real for everyone else. You get dressed up in these fancy clothes and walk around and get your picture taken, it's a little odd. But, great.
After we got married, the only thing that surprised me about David was that there were no surprises. He was the same guy I dated, he had no dark side, and he would make jokes even when he thought he was alone.
Fourteen years later, he's still the greatest guy I have ever met. I was young, but I loved him for all the right reasons. Now, I just have more reasons.
