Here is some music to play whilst you read this post. Please hit play and proceed.
Today is mine and CBC's 8th anniversary! Confession- we almost forgot! He did, I remembered last night when I was working out what date it was for something! Please make me feel better about the fact we almost forgot by telling me that you also forget! In our defence, we are in limbo on school holiday for 6 weeks and unless it's a school day, I have no clue what date it is! AND, we have just been on holiday in Cornwall for a week!
Here are two pictures from the day. CBC is none too happy about having overt pictures of him on here these days so here are two selected from our wedding 8 years ago where he's not too obvious.
This is the moment of our vows. If I look teary, it's because I unexpectedly howled whilst singing Love Divine- tip-do not sing too heartily or loud on your wedding day or weird things happen, especially if you are someone who is affected by music!
And here's a view of the church via the flowers.
The prayers
I thought I'd write 10 things I love about CBC here as a tribute to him (he won't read it- never bothers with my blog now). I want to wring his neck several times a week/month and I know the feeling is mutual, but I love him dearly.
10 things I love about him:
1. He is the most imaginative person I know. He has a way at looking things and describing things so very aptly to astonish you with his imagery and descriptive skills.
2. He stops being grumpy after we've argued and is able to be nice again very quickly.
3. Very, very unfussy in terms of eating. The most unfussy man in all our family who any of us have married (except my Dad who is a dustbin). Absolutely loves vegetables and is willing to eat 7 times of veg in one meal.
4. Always manages to look after me when I am freaking out about something, e.g. at the top of a mountain and I feel like I am going to die if I take one step forward.
5. He is so musical and entertains me all the time with his music making at home on the piano.
6. He gave me the gift of a home from home. I love Northumberland and it is an inherent part of me now that I yearn for it and long to return to it when I am not there and feel like I am coming home when we go there. He values how our relationship brought him closer with his Dad in his final years and how much his Dad loved me and him and how that relationship changed.
7. He is super creative and fun and always manages to help me to explore new places.
8. He puts up with my environmental quirks and wishes and has adapted in many ways to fulfil that. He puts up with me having lots of things (even if he moans about it a lot!)
9. He is a gentleman- he is charming and is always really nice to people we meet.
10. He's super CUTE!
There's many more things but there are some to start with!
Hope you are well.

P.S. If you are wondering about the music- it is by Gyorgy Ligeti and comes from his Five Bagatelles for Wind Quintet and is what I came down the aisle to!
