Yesterday, Tamara and I had been married for 1,000 days. (And today is 1,001...) If you follow this site, you know that I have this concept of the importance of each day - hence, the Days Alive calculator at the top-right corner of my site's home page. Interestingly, the Days Alive meter tripped 100,000 sometime yesterday afternoon on my 1,000th day of marriage to my beautiful wife. Kinda cool. So in celebration of that fact, I bought us a fancy room at the Suites at 800 Locust and hired Singing Gourmet, Louis Dean. He cooks you a gourmet meal and then sings love songs to you during dinner.  Tamara was surprised. She knew that I had something planned and why, but having this guy come to our room and set up to sing to us while serving dinner was unexpected to her. (Success! Because it is impossible to surprise her.)  Dinner was lovely in appearance and taste. The cheesecake he makes is amazing, by the way...  And his singing is superb. I was a bit concerned that being in such a small space, it would overwhelm us, but not at all. Not only is his singing terrific, but expertly contained, and so it was a delightful addition to our romantic dinner for two. He even learned a song that was special to us at my request and sang it to us.  I love her. She beamed 1,000 watts all through dinner.  My goal was to make a memorable experience. We got married in the luxurious atrium of the hotel 1,001 days ago, and we talked of all we could remember from that day. From our family in attendance to Kelly's excellent photography to the beautiful setting, our wedding was magical. It was great to reminisce about the day and our life of a thousand days together. |
