Twenty years ago today Mrs Parallel and I were married. Today we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with some simple pleasures. We boiled up some shrimp and crabs, ate way too much dobage' cake and watched race to witch mountain all snuggled up on the couch with our little boy. I had made dinner reservations at an exclusive restaurant and all of that. I even had a babysitter all lined up, but Mrs Parallel wasn't feeling well so we stayed in. All the better in my estimation.
I even did REAL good on the gift. I had asked some women I know what was the gift for the 20th year wedding anniversary. I kept getting conflicting answers. Some would say it was china, others would say is was platinum. So... I Googled it. It turns out that the traditional gift is China and the modern gift is platinum. I hit the jackpot with twelve 6 piece place settings of some very fine platinum ringed bone china. The best part is that the dinnerware is not frilly yet is elegant and refined. So the wife loves them and I can actually enjoy them too.
