Hubby
and I have been married for 22 years today! Several years ago I wrote the
story of our very bizarre wedding day in the form of a fairy tale. Even though
we were both in the Army at the time and we had a justice of the peace wedding,
I decided to turn it into a fairy tale. Every girl should get to be a princess
on her wedding day, right?
Since
this is my favorite story ever, I will share it with you again today. Without further ado, here is my Unconventional Wedding Day Fairy Tale...
Once
upon a time, in the kingdom of San Antonio, there lived a curly-headed
princess. (Well, she was actually a soldier, but the story is much
more romantic if she is a princess.) She fell in love with a kind,
handsome prince. (You guessed it, he was a soldier too.) They fell
in love and wanted to share their lives together, but were in no hurry to make
things legal.
Then
one day a ferocious dragon attacked. (She got orders to go to Fort
Drum.) The prince and princess knew that only the power of true love
could save them, so they decided it was time to get married. On the
day the marriage was to take place they ventured out in the midst of a powerful
thunderstorm in search of a justice of the peace. They finally found
the JP in a converted jail house. So, in the midst of a raging storm, while
standing in a former jail, the prince and princess exchanged their vows. (The
wise JP included a wonderful clause in the prince’s vows. He had to
promise to bring the princess presents even when it wasn’t a holiday.) Once
the vows were said the dragon was slain and they went off to Fort Drum
together.
They
went on to have many wonderful adventures and have enjoyed living their
unconventional fairy tale ever since. Their happily-ever-after is
still continuing.
