...we took an infamous walk on an infamous bridge, Hon. Thanks for taking the chance to ask me on that first date and thanks for asking for another and another and another :) All My Love, Forever.
And just in case anyone else cares to know about that first date, here's what I journaled a couple months ago on a scrapbook page titled "First Date"...
"Two flower deliveries – one from MaryLee and Janiece with best wishes and one from Tony himself. Absent parents (my thoughtful mother had talked Dad into taking her to town for supper so he wouldn’t be there to give Tony the third degree.) A bazillion outfits that didn’t feel right. Finally settled on the purple sweater and purple and teal skirt with black hose and black flats – an outfit Tony remembers to this day and ironically, what ended up being our wedding colors. Dinner at Bill Knapp’s in Midland, Michigan, where I knew something was up when I was able to eat my entire meal without feeling like I was going to throw up. Then we took a walk on the Tridge. It was the fastest, coldest walk I think I’ve ever experienced there and since it was our first date he was a foot or two away from me. Another quick walk through the mall and then a stroll through Meijer. After that we took a LONG drive around Midland city limits, just talking, getting to know one another. Then home after I’d shared way too much information about my family. No goodnight kiss (which was a good thing) but a promise of another date the next week. Perfect!"

What a nice post... it reminded me of my first date with my hubby, the one where he insisted we dress up to go to Golden Corral. :) We had been "courting" for awhile, and the "first date" was a big deal! :) Isn't it nice to have all sorts of memories with one person??? Someone who knows all about you and still loves you anyways...
Happy Anniversary of your first date!
Neat post! What wonderful memories.
I heard there was a company even named after that bridge! (Tridge Alliance, Inc.)And how ironic that the Company’s goal is to connect people!
Hey Tony thanks for asking her out, if it had not been for that....
HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY DATE
TO MY LOVELY BABY SISTER,
AND HER WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!!!!
woops that should have said
"happy first date anniversary"
Happy Day! Didn't I ruin the first time he asked you out by having "DIBS" on that night? Oh, well. All is well that ends well. I was never too nervous to eat on a date. It shows now! :)
How romantical! : )
Wow, where has the time gone???? I remember the night you made the Big ANNOUNCEMENT of your Engagement to the Family! You were both sitting on the couch in the family room - it was Christmas Eve; or whatever night we were celebrating the Fritz Christmas!
