CHOCOLATE SAUCE OPTIONAL

Hard to believe it has been  9 years (?) since they got married.. Donald and Lucy Davis tied the knot on a Thursday evening and if that sounds like a strange day to get married.. It was sort of odd.. I can't complain because everything seemed to come together quite well.. Almost magical because Lucy had everything under control.. She forgot about ninety percent of everything else there was to do with a wedding.. She got the cake, the dress (which was more than a little tight).. What else is there??   Ask Freda, although not the maid of honor she very well could have been..

the wedding day itself was strange as it rained a little (we'd love to have that now) but on that day we had rain early then in the afternoon it cleared up, we got the wedding pictures taken doubled by  a wedding picture taker and a friend of Lucy's..  The wheel barrow thing which she said no to..  the reception that was in the community hall.. The cake that was starting to melt..  It was no longer just warm but humid added to the festivities.. The one bottle of champagne shared between the bride & groom and whoever else got a sip (I got just that, a sip)..  


Shortly after the wedding (six weeks, give or take) she comes in to the kitchen at the house and starts the "I will not be here next year, I have to go back home" crap, which initially I felt like freaking out and finding out what the deal was.. However over the next five or six years I would put it out of my mind because she would say that line about every few weeks and then nothing so I figured it was  a conversation starter for her.. Kinda like "how's your dog.."  (wink wink)..  And when she got pregnant and had Ian I thought that was the last we would hear of that, and it was on the back burner for a bit.. Then it started back up and two years ago she went off to Poland to get her immigration status copesetic...  Now she seems back for good and becoming more American every day.. Happily ever after..
