Happiness 15 years on

What makes you happy? What makes you smile, gives you the warm feeling inside that reflects beaming from your insides out? For me it is celebrating success either my own or that of friends, family, colleagues... Love too, young or old, the love of a friend or that of a parent for a child, the true love of soul mates just happy being with each other...

Last night I was beaming with that happiness as my beautiful, darling wife and I renewed our vows after 15 years of marriage. In a wonderful twist my gorgeous girl had an amazing vision of inviting girls to attend our celebration in their wedding dresses or bridesmaid dresses... A room full of brides in white... In an even bigger twist we had white dresses but not all of them were brides...

My eyes last night were only for one in white though whose dazzling smile lit up the room all night long, just as beautiful as the day we were wed. Fifteen years on our lives have changed somewhat but nothing will change how we feel for each other.

We have many people to thank for making last night such a special one... From my wife's sister and her husband who thought we would be good together to the local cake designer who whipped up a delicious combination of yummy mud cake and delightful cupcakes (some that tasted like Christmas) to the local Club staff who made our night such a stress free breeze... So many friends and family to thank for coming along and joining us... Finally a specially thank you to my sweet angel for all the stress, preparation and for just being my amazing and beautiful girl... I'm still smiling...
