Love in the time of election
The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character. ~Peter Devries
At the heart of this farm, there lies a gazebo and lovely patios where my husband I sat under the gentle canopies of stately mango trees, some of which are over 50 years old! We revel even more at the elegance of this veritable tree garden, teeming with a multitude of capiz drop lights and strategically placed spotlights that dramatically emphasize the features of mango trees.
Holding hands, we strolled the farm and stopped under a mango tree. I laid my head on his shoulder, “This is it”.
“Let’s celebrate our silver anniversary here”. My ever romantic husband pressed his lips at the back of my palm and agreed, of course. That was two years ago with a budget fit for semi-grand anniversary celebration. We had also moved in to our new cozy home near this farm.
