not much has changed

Yesterday I went to see "The Incredible Hulk" with T.J. and Trevor. Admittedly I was not too keen on seeing the flick but I gave in. During the previews I caught a glimpse of the upcoming X Files movie. The original movie was released June 19, 1998. Ten years ago.

What else happened ten years ago? I married Trevor. Yes, I married Trevor on June 19, 1998. Because I am a huge X Files fan I decided I would forgo my hair appointment the day of the wedding so that I would be able to see the movie on opening day. We married at 6:00 p.m. but had to be there at 3:30 for pictures. That left me with only the noon show time to catch the movie before I was married. I shared this plan with my maid of honor and she put her foot down. It was bad enough that I had put off buying my shoes, my guest book and cake cutter until the last minute - she was not going to spend my wedding day watching a movie instead of getting her hair done. As my wedding day neared I became very focused on the movie and less focused on the wedding. This ended up being a good thing as many things went wrong at our wedding. I really didn't care that the cake was lopsided and the D.J. had a blown speaker. All I cared about was getting to see that movie. At one point during the reception I asked my new husband if we could bail out on our own party and try to catch the 9:00 show. To that he replied, "I love you!"

After the preview for the new movie was ending, I told Trevor, "If this releases on our anniversary I am going to see the movie and opt out of the traditional sentimental anniversary crap." To that he replied, "I love you!"
