Twenty six years ago, this day dawned with pretty much the same beautiful sky and just warm enough sun as graces the day today. I was an Airman in the United States Air Force, no real clue what I wanted to do with my life but taking a class at a nearby college in a determined effort to figure it out . It was a Friday and we only had half a day of work because the commander had decreed a picnic. So, with a lovely afternoon for socializing and snacking, what to do? The BF and I grabbed my boss and my best friend as witnesses, drove to Annapolis and eloped. We weren't even drunk! We'd known each other for a grand total of 3 months. We'd only begun planning a New Year's Eve wedding, we had no rings, no wedding dress, no money and we lived in separate barracks (ok, so mine was much more a college dorm suite). Our "reception" consisted of stopping at a Dairy Queen on the drive back to the base to toast with milkshakes. No photos what so ever mark that day. That is my one regret. Here's to ya, Hon!
