My Mom's favorite child was my wife. She always liked my wife more than me or my brothers.
She was the daughter my Mom never had.
They got along like mother daughter from the first time they met.
Mom did her best to talk my wife into not marrying me. She said I would be nothing but trouble for her and the marriage would never last.
I reminded my Mom of that at our 40th anniversary. She replied we might make it after all.
In my young years Mom was partially correct but my wife stuck with me and I finally got my s*** together and we have been happy ever since. I did like to party hardy.
One other thing. We met in March, I proposed in May, I went to boot camp in June and we got married in September.
We were together about 3 months total before we got married.
We both just knew it was right.
