Happy Anniversary!

Today is Chrissi and Don's 11th anniversary. I remember the first day I ever met Don. It was March 17th 1992. Don was using the " I'm just helping her with her resume ." as a way of getting in with Chrissi. I was talking to Chrissi on the phone yesterday and it reminded me of one of my favorite stories.

In 1996 Chrissi and Don got Married and I was 15 years old. I was smack dab in the middle of my "awkward phase" and I cringe anytime I see those pictures. I was a groomsman in the wedding. Just before the wedding I was standing outside getting ready for things to start. I was with Don and his Dad. I was no different then than I am now in the sense that I was a total chatterbox. So I was standing there just chatting away. I can't remember what I was talking about but suddenly Don said something to the effect of "Peter, STOP TALKING." I distinctly remember thinking, wow Don what's the big deal, your just getting married. It wasn't until a few years later on the morning of Jenn and Marc's wedding that I began to sense just how nervous someone might be on their wedding day and that perhaps listening to a 15 year old whose voice is changing might be a little grating.

Now eleven years later, they have three adorable kids a great house and are still lots of fun.

Happy Anniversary Guys!
