Yes, Val. I agree with the others. I congratulate you and your hubby. The day is special to the two of you.

December 8th was the day of Marge's and my first date, and so we chose December 8th as our wedding date (the following year - it took that long for me to talk her into marriage; both of us feared marriage would ruin a wonderful relationship).

I think the true inner meaning of romance is communication. Chocolates and other things can be nice, but it is the drawing closer together in our understanding and desire to "be there" for the other, that is what romance claims to be. IMO.

May our hearts always be open to romance and magic. And may we always be willing to receive love - even when we feel like we don't deserve it. We do. And so does our mate (at least, when they've paid their penance - just joking!).
