Fifteen Years Pt. 2: The Party

I had a whole series lined up to regale you all with stories from our marriage, but I realized it's all stories I've covered here and told you in person. So instead, pt2 is going to be about the party we threw over the weekend and will likely be the last of this series. 

Once we approached the 10th anniversary, we thought, maybe we do something special. We've made it much further than a lot of people. 

That was 2018, and Sal and I had planned a trip to Napa for our 10th anniversary. The planet had other plans for our 10th. If you remember 2018, most of California was on fire. Therefore, no wine for us.

In 2021, we had talked about throwing a huge 13th anniversary party in honor of the insanely bad luck we've had. But karma looked us in the face and laughed and continued a global pandemic. A lot of the restaurants we wanted to rent out weren't open for dinning yet.

So fast forward to the 15th, a nice multiple of 5. Feels like an important year. It's the year you're supposed to give something crystal to your significant other. We're halfway to 30 years. 15 feels like a good year to finally celebrate.
