Another best year
Two years ago today Magda’s father loaded his shotgun wedding vows made me the happiest man in Nova Gorica, a title I still retain, although that guy on Kidričeva with the lucky ham is a close runner-up.
Following our efficient and thrifty yet still deeply moving ceremony, we walked from the Občina, or city hall, to Nova Gorica’s most garish casino for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake (still thrifty). It was a highly memorable reception and recently we returned to the Casinó Perla to renew our vows get an iced coffee. My bride two years on:
All joking aside, I cannot imagine my life without Magda. Adam on the other hand… There I go again. I love you both more than I can or should attempt to put into words here.
Our first wedding anniversary occurred exactly one year ago today. Coincidence?
Congratulations!

And I should mention that this has been, really and truly, the best Preview Button Experience I have ever had. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

I’m glad to hear it. In fact, when I saw the “Congratulations!” comment, for a split second I thought it was in reference to getting the preview hack to finally work. I’m THAT romantic.

Well what the hell else would it have been in reference to?
Oh.
I, of course, haven’t even tried a preview button hack. Now that I think about it, it seems odd that WP doesn’t provide the preview option as a standard feature.

Congratulations, I think. Yes, I can tell it’s a beautifully sunny day that the photo of your blushing bride was taken on, but what’s with the sunglasses? She should not be wearing sunglasses when in public with you until at least the 7th or 8th anniversary. Perhaps this slip up was unintentional. But, I’d keep an eye on her “Oh, no I’m not with him” sunglass look.
Options.
Wifes are always about the options.

Errhhh. That would be wives not wifes. English is my second language irregardless of how long I’ve been speaking it.

Damn you, Darko! Don’t you see that you’ve just defeated the purpose of the preview button!
All my cursing for nothing! Nothing!
Croatians.
And Jagosaurus, I agree that it’s outright bizarre that WordPress doesn’t do this natively. I take it you’re running 2.0? So if there’s no easy option to enable previewing, captcha, etc. in 2.0 I have no reason to upgrade.
Oh, and by the way, unless and until you get some sort of preview Rube Goldberg device going on your site, I am boycotting it. Sort of like the Star-Bellied Sneetches.

Congratulations. She is gorgeous and so is your son. :-)

Blackmail? Threats? Pfft.
Yes, I did upgrade to 2.04 (or whatever) and still no native preview function. WTF?

Hug your lovely wife for me and tell her everything you ought. Am loving her haircut — she’s a movie star. But, like, a good one.

Another reason to say chestito in one day! Ours was a shotgun wedding, too, and Quaker! I post about it here. Many many happy returns!

Congratulations!
(really I’m just wanting to test the preview button, but still, a hearty congratulations anyway)
Sure, post it.
Wait, it needs a smiley.
:-)
Yeah.

Wait, I’ve been doing some math. Just a few weeks after you celebrate two years of wedded bliss, Magda’s about to give birth to your second child? Which means a) you guys are real good at making babies; b) Magda looks real good pregnant; and c) by the time you celebrate 10 years, you’re going to have a very large brood!

The movie star comment is where I was going to go with this as well. Fabulous haircut, and great lighting. Somehow Robert Altman’s death and this photo are synchronisitic. Congrats, BTW.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate an anniversary than having an iced coffee with the family.
Comment by Neil — Thursday 23 November 06 @ 06.26 MST+2.00
People, please. Magda is a FILM star. But thanks for all the felicitations.
Juliloquy: nice article. I learned some cool stuff about you guys.
Gwynne: My wife is indeed so fertile that I just have to brush past her in the kitchen to knock her up. This can actually be something of a problem.
And no, the large brood of which you speak has been removed from the table as a possibility. I smell vasectomy!
