22 years ago last August, this adorable man asked me a life-changing question that is one of life's most amazing gifts: He asked me to marry him—implying that he loved me enough to want to spend the rest of his life with me...and all of eternity as well. Sometimes I am still in awe of that willingness to commit. Without a moment's hesitation, I answered YES! (I'd actually been waiting for this particular question for MONTHS...much longer than it ever felt to wait for Santa to come!) Somehow I just KNEW he was The One.
I was lucky enough to be working as the editorial art director for a regional magazine at the time, and scored our fashion photographer, Dirk Douglass, to do these engagement photos.
And then 22 years ago today, wearing my mother's heirloom custom-tailored dress, I knelt across the altar from him and whispered a reverent but rich-with-anticipation "Yes!". Our lives have been a series of non-stop adventures ever since.
—Oh, and just for the record, I would STILL say yes!

Happy Anniversary, Charrette! I'm so glad you've had the best 22 years of your life with your best friend. =]
That is the cutest picture EVER! I feel like I've known you (and even that cute guy with you) forever, and I can testify to all of your other commenters that you two are a GREAT couple. You can't fake the kind of kinship you two have, that comfortable I'm-in-this-for-you vibe you both put off.
So glad to call you friends, and to wish you a wonderful, happy anniversary.
Much love to you both!

One of the most amazing couples we know. Love you guys! And the picture is awesome!
That's the test, isn't it? Whether it's three years (like for me) or thirty, would I still yes? Yes. Maybe a better question is, "Am I good enough to him that he would still want to ask?" I think I'll ask that more often.
You both look so very happy in the photograph! Happy Anniversary!
Cutest engagement pic ever! Hey, I've missed you! My new year's resolution is to be a better blog friend. Love you!
Such a beautiful tribute to the love of your life!

I will not acquiesce in on it. I think precise post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to review the sound story.
