happy anniversary to us
Today is the seventh anniversary of our first date. We went to the High Museum to see a photography exhibition taken from Elton John's extensive private collection, and then to dinner at my favorite tapas restaurant in Atlanta. On the way from the museum to the restaurant I showcased the incredible driving skills I picked up while living in Overboard's home state. She was so impressed she silently dug in her nails and hung onto the sides of her seat in appreciation.
It was during dinner that I learned of Overboard's observance of Kashrut, as I tried to sell her on what I considered to be "the best calamari you will ever eat." For her sake, I ate her share.
For those of you familiar with our story, it was on our second date, to a Cowboy Mouth concert, that Overboard joked about "if we get married, [Cowboy Mouth] will have to play at the wedding." As I mentioned in my wedding toast, I knew at that point that I liked her, because normally a mention of marriage on a second date was a great way to kill any chance of a third date.
As it turned out, we didn't have Cowboy Mouth perform at the wedding. But we did have a fun DJ who, after I scared him by taking complete control of the wedding playlist, later offered us a chance to go into business with him and his wife as DJ impresarios. We declined.

Let's put this "Cowboy Mouth" remark in context ... Evenkeel had regaled me with a story about friends of his who met Swing dancing and then proceeded to have a Swing band at their wedding. How could I NOT have made that uncomfortable, inappropriate joke?
