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.

    a little belated, but happy anniversary! when we get together (which will hopefully be sometime in the near future!) dom will tell you his definition/perspective on marriage, it is a hoot. he is also threatening to eat that white castle that’s been sitting in my freezer if you don’t come and get it soon. i can only guard it for so long….

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