marriage meme

Our almost-birthday Melli tagged me with this meme, down the memory lane. Here are my short, short answers!

Where did you meet your husband?
It was at a friend's birthday party. So it's easy to remember that date in 1984

What was the first thing you said to your husband?
Probably HI ! He came to us, I was talking to a girlfriend.

Where was the first kiss? first date?
We went to a local pub called The Clock on our first date.

Did you have a long or short courtship/engagement?
We dated less than one year.Our engagement was exactly one week long. We wanted to make sure we knew where the rings were, lol.

Where did you get engaged?
At my parents' house. My mother wanted that he formally asked for my hand... well, I am the oldest daughter.

Where did you get married?
We only had the civil ceremony in Santiago, Chile (see pic)

How did the reception go?
Reception was a couple of days later! at my parents' home with more friends than family, it was casual and fun.

How was the honeymoon?
It is still pending, we had no time then since we had to move to Germany.

Our always wonderful Gattina gave me this brand new award - the Blogging Star Award, which has been created by Barb at Skittles'Place . She has created it for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogoshere, with humor, creativity, or with their kind and thoughtful natures. I still have to find out how I fit in, but thanks anyways, Gattina, I truly appreciate your kind gesture. I am not passing it on to others because my list would be too long...every single one of the blogs I read deserves one of this because I have got taste , that's why I simply cannot choose just a few, I think you will understand! maybe I shouldn't keep it then, what do you think?? This blog doesn't tag, doesn't pass awards on, tsk, tsk. (there should be another button for this category waiting for me somewhere...)
