I never thought I would get married to a man whose favorite movie is ‘The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension’, or who likes to take jumping pictures, or who wears Hawaiian shirts (not ironically, I must add). But God knew exactly what I needed, because he has brought so much joy, happiness and vibrancy to my life. He is ridiculously smart, and funny, and cute, and kind. He is an incurable romantic and optimist. In lieu of trying to make a futile attempt to describe in words why he is my favorite person in the world, I can tell you one of my favorite memories of him. We were at a Chinese national park, walking along one of those trams that transports people within the park (in China, my husband, who is a 6″2, sandy haired Polish American, was like a rockstar. People stared and took unsolicited pictures with him; children smiled and gawked at him). A four year old boy with his family started waving excitedly to him from the tram, and of course my husband waved back. But he didn’t stop there — he started wackily running next to the tracks, making funny faces. The kid and his grandparents were laughing delightedly. He ran next to the tram for about half a mile, just having fun with them. How can I not love this man?
I know life is unpredictable; wherever we go, that’s where we’ll be . I’m just happy and thankful that we’ll be together.
Aw! I just went “Aw!” out loud in real life, too! So cute!
