I am not a bad husband

by Bickmo on June 24th, 2009

First Anniversary

At approximately 33 years, 7 months, 8 days, and 10 hours of age, I became a husband. The matrimonial plunge arrived nearly twelve years after I recorded in my Franklin planner the goal of being engaged by Christmas 1996. Good thing goals are flexible.

So on May 1, 2008, I married the sweetest girl imaginable, Mandi, amidst the sound of heavy betting losses among my former college roommates. Ain’t she pretty? For readers interested in details of the springtime ceremony, it snowed like a sky explosion and my best man forgot to show up.

Those perceptive to doings of the Bickmo (that’s me) may have noticed the till-now lack of Mandi-themed posts. Our courtship, engagement, wedding, and first anniversary have all failed to make the Blogmo. Some may claim I have herein failed in my husbandly duties. I have one word for these people: she forgives.

Mandi loves people and obese felines, and has a thing for cakes (visit her decorating site, www.mandicakes.webs.com). Anyone who knows her will tell you she is a wonderful person and a terrific wife. She is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

So I love you, Mandi. Thirty-three years was worth the wait. You get four stars.

My bride gets four stars!

Sentence I accidentally created after deleting the center of a large block of text: Often a poncho.

    You’re kidding. You’re best man forgot you? How awful. Hope he had a really good reason. Other than that, I’m very happy for you.

    So good to see a new Bickmo blog entry! And such lovely subject matter too. You guys definitely deserve each other… and I mean that in a good way.

    So, that said: I wanna know what you thought of the Trek reboot! Where’s your post on that?!?

    I never blog about my husband, by his request. He doesn’t read my blog, you see, and the thought of being written about behind his back makes him feel squirmy.

    That’s why I forgot/neglected to post a father’s day tribute to him. Honest.

    Hooray for me! I have finally earned a spot on the Blogmo. This is a momentous occasion. Thank you wonderful husband of mine, you’re the best!

    Did anyone notice I’m wearing the same green polo in both pictures? I did.

    Ryker: Trek reboot, hmmm… I may have to jot down a few musings soon.

    Wait, you got married?!? When did that happen? Oh yeah, I think I was stealing Ard’s hubcaps at the time.

    All the best to you and Mandi…
