Saturday evening Tommy and I had a lovely, lovely dinner at the Celestial, in celebration of the one year anniversary of our marriage. If you're surprised to hear we're married, don't feel alone- a year ago we eloped and, for the most part, have kept it under our hats. There were some not so pleasant reasons we kept it quiet, but it was also kind

Congratulations! I found out a few months ago but I'd been thinking of you as "permanently partnered" or some such for awhile so it didn't seem like a big deal. Yippee skippee!

Needless to say, I'm sure, you weren't one of the people causing the crap that made us decide to go stealth. :o) So no problem at all with you knowing! :o)

The it did't seem like a big deal thing is interesting, because all of my life I've heard people say that even if you dated the person forever and probably lived with them for a good chunk of that time it's completely different once it's legalized. I've never thought to ask Tommy, so I won't speak for him, but to me it's not different at all. I always thought I was completely capable of being committed without the nod of a government and/or church, and it seems to be true. The only difference it makes, in my mind, is that I'll not be sitting in a hospital holding his hand, and not allowed to speak for him when he can't speak for himself. Neither will he be i that situation with me, which is probably more important given my schizophrenic sister's extreme antipathy toward me.

You so sneaky!

Ah kin be thataway once in while!

Congratulations!!
Yes I was surprised, but very pleased for you!

[pattinthehatt]

Thank you! We've been very happy, and I anticipate it will continue! Lest I seem to be spewing something totally fictional, very happy does not mean no issues or misunderstandings- it's all in the way you handle them, I think!

[marquiserachel]

It's definitely the way you handle them. I can't imagine never having a relationship without misunderstandings, it'd be weird!
I hope the two of you continue to be as happy as you have been, if not happier!

I hadn't thought about it before but I'm not surprised at all! I am super happy for you though! :D

I never knew you BM (before marriage), so it makes no difference to me, other than the fact that I can wish you a Happy Anniversary!
