Push, Baby, Push.
Etcetera November 25th, 2008
It was four years ago in Mexico that I was told to do that.
What should have been a simple matter of putting a ring on my bride’s finger almost turned into a fiasco. The heat and humidity of the warm weather on the Mayan coast had caused swelling of our entire bodies but particularly our fingers.
Her ring wouldn’t fit. I tried twisting it, even rocking it, onto her finger.
“Push, Baby, push,” she insisted.
So I did push, harder and harder. She pushed back. The Justice of the Peace looked on.
The ring finally slid on as we both sighed with relief.
Through the ups and downs of 4 short years of marriage she still wears that ring.

Happy Anniversary! I hope you enjoy many, many more years together.
And who knew getting married would sound a little bit like childbirth?

For sure! Once the smoke settles from holiday season, we’re going to be extracting those burgers from storage.
