After Jay died I was fortunate to meet and marry Eddie. When I bought my second wedding gown I promised myself that I would not just hang it in the closet or the attic. That promise has turned into a vow to wear it at least once for every year of our marriage. The second time I wore it I asked my friend to come over and help me dress, since I couldn't easily lace up the back. I drove to the airport (tricky with the seat belt and long skirt) to pick Eddie up from a reunion. I watched the door and as soon as he exited the terminal I jumped out of the car, ran to him shouting, "Eddie, Eddie...I couldn't do it! It's YOU that I want!" He laughed and shook his head and we got in the car for the ride home. That started the traditional of wearing it every spring, which soon evolved into the anniversary dress code. We have gone out for dinner, gone to the botanical garden, visited my mom, and this year celebrated with breakfast. Most people ask if we just got married or congratulate us on our anniversary. Everybody smiles and appears to enjoy being part of someone else's special day. We now have a collection of photos and a whole lot of great memories. This year Eddie had to lace me up and was reminded of the script of "Gone With the Wind". YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAVE A NINETEEN INCH WAIST AGAIN MISS SCARLETT.
