Loving Anne

Anne and I got married on June 25, 2005 at Trilogy, a parklike retirement community east of Redmond. The sun was out, and our friends and family gathered to watch us devote ourselves to each other. Anne’s friend Lisa (Watkins) Scott did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. Erin made a fun illustrated book of our story, one for each guest. Bonnie made our topsy-turvy wedding cake which matched the orange sash of Anne’s wedding dress. And Anne…she was stunning! It was a wonderful ceremony and reception…a real celebration. Songs played that evening included “At Last” by Etta James, “Follow You, Follow Me” by Genesis, and “Magic” by Olivia Newton John.

That night, Anne and I stayed at The Woodmark hotel in Kirkland. The next day, our first full day as a married couple, we called up Trevor and went to see Batman Begins. Anne still has the ticket stub.

Recently, we celebrated our 20th anniversary anniversary while on vacation in Europe. That particular night, we were in Bologna, Italy and went out to celebrate with a special dinner. Kate took our picture (above).

About last night’s status update: I forgot to list songs played for Anne yesterday. They included “More Than a Woman” by The Bee Gees and “Got to Get You Into My Life” by The Beatles.
