Joke: What is the difference between a girlfriend and a wife? Answer: Forty-five pounds.
Some history for all of you.
I first met Mik at a party at the Waverly, which is the high rise condo downtown where it all began.
He was drunk.
Later that night I said to Sam, “Hey, he is really cute” and then I was met with “Oh nope, nope, nope”.
Sam was drunk.
I wasn’t sure if it was Sam’s dedication to her career as property manager of the Waverly and the “no resident dating” policy or the fact that we never really had the same taste in men that made her disagree.
But then a funny thing happened….Sam starting being seen after hours at the Waverly.
I am sure many residents thought she was an extremely dedicated, hard working manager.
Many leaving for work in the early hours of the morning would pause and say to themselves what a hardworking girl, why I saw her in that outfit yesterday, she must be going home to change after putting in a night’s work only to do it all over again today.
Their undercover mission impossible relationship would soon develop and it wouldn’t be long before they would move out of the Waverly to the Money Pit on
And as they say, the rest is history.
What a wonderful person Sam has married today. I wouldn’t have picked a better husband for her.
As a child I often tried to pick her husband. I would tell her who she was to marry. For instance, Hall and Oates-I would say that I was going to marry the blond singer and she got the guy with the big thick hairy spider mustache….
And Dukes of Hazard-I got the strapping intelligent brunette and she the doofey blond.
Funny how karma works because in real life …well never mind.
But in all seriousness it is today where two families become one. Two loud crazy families. It is today that we welcome not only Mik but also Wubba and Marjorie into our family.
So I ask that we raise our glasses and toast two beautiful, unique people as they begin their journey today as Mr. and Mrs. Brauchand.
