Sailing is great but…
Sailing is great but I wouldn’t want to do it alone, which is why I feel so blessed that seven years ago today my soulmate Rebecca said “I do!”
How confident was I that the two of us were meant to be together? On the (Canadian) Thanksgiving Weekend in 2002, I played the following video proposal to Rebecca in front of her entire family and various visiting neighbors. Yes, some tears were shed (not mine) and thankfully yes, she said yes. 🙂
Please excuse the poor video quality. This clip came from a (gasp!) VHS tape! Hopefully the Youtube police don’t kill the audio on it.
Our special day…
We carry a (artificial) rose on our boat as a reminder of this moment.
She has always been a killer!
and she continues to amaze me daily!
Yes, we were married by the water with boats nearby. No wedding party members were injured during the shooting of this photograph, although one came close!
nice vid, guys, i will forgive the quality, but Mike, I cannot forgive the fact you spelled poor as “pour” 😉
And so the secret has been revealed… Rebecca ALWAYS proofs my posts before I publish them. This post I did as a surprise though, while she is still in bed sleeping. Just one more reason why I need her. 🙂
Thanks Cary. It has been amended.
good man:) and again, congrats to you 2 !!
Congrats guys! Rebecca – you have killer arms!
Thanks Michele!
I am sure you know how sensitive I am, but I had a tears in my eyes……..Rebecca has one hell of a roundhouse kick…..Congratulations…As I said before, you guys are awesome together…..Two peas in a sailboat……Nice to see the rough side and the feminine side in the video….she was a beautiful bride…Mike I like you with the owen wilson hair….Goes with the lifestyle better…..Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed watching as I was cutting onions….
It brought a tear to my eye too (while I was cutting some onions, of course).
🙂
And those kicks hurt!
How that brings back memories -good to see you are just as romantic Mike. Congratulations to you both! We see you even arranged great winds for a day of sailing together to celebrate.
love mom
Of course I am still romantic. I’m a lover, not a fighter. It’s Rebecca who’s the fighter, remember?
Beautiful! How could a girl say anything but “yes” to a guy who could make such a moving video. Congratulations!
I was counting on that. Girls LOVE guys with video-editing skills. 🙂
Happy Anniversary to both of you. May the years to come be even better than those which have gone. Lovely wedding pictures, by the way.
Thank you Helen. We were fortunate in that we had a great wedding photographer and at least the female portion of the wedding party was (and is) photogenic. 🙂
WoW seven years already ! A soulmate is a rare find.
Congratulations Mike and Rebecca.
Thanks Janine. Soon it will be Adam’s turn!
Happy anniversary and congratulations Mike and Rebecca! The photos are great and Rebecca is a beautiful bride. She has quite a resemblance to Hilary Swank in the 2nd photo only with amazing arms 🙂
Thanks Rowan. I’ll have to look up some pics of Hilary to see what you mean. I have been following your blog. Nice to hear things are coming along for you guys.
I don’t know if links work in comments but here is a photo of Hilary: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2009-09/08/content_8667836.htm
Thanks Rowan. That did work. I think Rebecca is much more attractive!!! 🙂
What a great way to ask her!
