Yes, he's wearing work boots. We met online 14 years ago. (I placed an ad in the Romance section of AOL. He answered.) When we first talked on the phone to set a date, he mentioned that he was a contractor and I assumed that all contractors wore work boots. I had a thing for a guy in work boots, so this was a good thing!
Well, I was smitten on that first date, but I also found out that he didn't even OWN a pair of work boots! I think I bought him a pair for our first Christmas, or maybe his birthday. He didn't wear them for work, but they were a bit of an inside joke for us.
On our wedding day (8/8/97), he wore those work boots down the aisle! Dear Fr. Kevin was not impressed and very concerned about my reaction when I would see them. Bo assured him that I knew, and I was okay with it.
So, that's the story! If you played Wordless Wednesday, be sure to follow it up today with Tell Me Thursday!
What a gorgeous picture and LOVE the boots!
ReplyDeleteThat is just the most adorable story. Y'all are so cute!
ReplyDeleteFr. Kevin had no sense of humor. I had sort of forgotten about him.
ReplyDeleteAbout the work boots, I think that the carpenter who did most of the work on our kitchen wore Nikes every day... I bet the work boots were more comfortable for the wedding than the shoes that usually come with a rental tuxedo though.
What a sweet story. My husband and I celebrated out 12 year anniversary in June! Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story! Happy anniversary! The picture is beautiful! My Tell Me Thursday is here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully staged photo with the flowers and the greenery outside. I love the story of the work boots and it was a nice touch for the wedding.
