Our first real dinner at home as Husband and wife was fish sticks on October 27th. Yes, something easy like fish sticks.
i call her “Aunt” Linda but she is really “Cousin” Linda. Anyways, she got us this beautiful candle set for the bridal shower. It has a poem and each set of candles was for something:
Wedding Poem
A box of candles that come in a pair,
of all different colors for you two to share.The white ones burn first, they are wrapped in white lace,
to celebrate the first night in your new chosen place.The mauve pair is smaller and thinner,
they burn with your first company over for dinner.There are candles to burn on Christmas Eve before bed,
your first Christmas married and that is why they are red.The navy candles are for your first fight,
use them to burn when making up all night.Pink candles will set the mood and pave the way,
to celebrate your first married Valentine’s Day.Now when your first year of marriage is though,
the ivory anniversary pair will be light for you two.By this time we hope maybe, just maybe,
you could burn the yellow ones to celebrate the birth of your baby.And when you thought you could put these to away,
take the light blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day.Now just one pair left for the big “25”,
the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.So congratulations both of you on the start of your “forever”,
may the two of you always be happy together.And burn these candles just like it is said,
but please don’t forget… blow them out before bed!
It was a very simple and fantastic meal. Just what we needed from all the richness of Hawaii.
The next day we started to get ready for not only our first Halloween as Man and wife, but our first Halloween in our new home! We carved pumpkins with the parents. It was so much fun.
Lynn said they have not carved pumpkins since her children were actually children.
For Halloween, Brian dressed up like a scorpion king warrior and i dressed up as a french renaissance lady. We even dressed up the pets. Sammie was a CocaCola transformer and Skittlepants was… well… a skittle with pants.
It was so much fun handing out treats to the Trick-Or-Treaters. It was my first time. i was always the one to take my kids door to door.
