“Better than I was, more than I am,
And all of this happened, by taking your hand”
Nine years ago in a movie theater in Montpelier, Vermont, Casey reached across his arm rest, offering me his hand to hold. We were in our last semester of high school and after plenty of adolescent coquetry, we had decided to go on a double date. The offering of his hand that night, and the first kiss at the end of the evening, made us official.
It also made the lyrics above, from “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw, supremely meaningful to us… which seven years after the first held hand made it a wonderful wedding song, demanded by Casey in a rarely shown bit of sentiment.
Although we don’t really celebrate the anniversary of our first date, I feel it’s important to honor it and remember it, because it was the beginning of something truly grand.
