The Pact

Submitted by JeannieWatt on Fri, 2008-04-11 14:33.

Today would have been Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli’s twenty-seventh wedding anniversary if they'd remained married. How do I know this? Because it also would have been my twenty-seventh wedding anniversary, had it not been for Parent’s Weekend at the University of Idaho, which made it impossible for our out of town guests (all ten of them) to get rooms for the wedding. Not many events fill all the motels in Moscow, Idaho, but Parent’s Weekend does.
My husband and I chose to wed instead on the following Saturday, which also happened to be the 75th anniversary of the Great San Francisco Earthquake (or Fire). Surely, we figured, we’d remember our wedding anniversary if we tied it to such a famous event. No such luck.
