Oh my gosh, what a wonderful reflection -- thank you for sharing it, and happy anniversary!! I didn't know the extent of your Elvis fandom. 😎 My mother in law is an Elvis fan. She got us one of those famous clocks from Graceland. Sadly, it stopped working, so the Elvis pelvis no longer swings on our wall. 😅

I would love that clock but I don’t think it matches Jeff’s aesthetics! LOL

Happy Anniversary! We were living right next to Graceland this summer. 🤣 My husband and I met 19 years ago at a Wallace and Gromit movie. Ok, we actually met two years before that but I was dating someone else and he says I ignored him for two years… So we really talked for the first time at Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

We have a Stitch Elvis, but I am having trouble figuring out how to attach it. Suffice to say, it is super cute.

What a great story! Another reason to love Wallace and Gromit! Also… How many times did you visit Graceland? :-) I may be jelly.

We have only gone once. It is very expensive. 💵 I took my four children and in-laws. We are Lilo and Stitch fans more than anything, so we pretended it was Stitch related.

Of course he was in your creative writing class. Of course you met his MOM reciting the Rosary, and she hooked you up! Whoever would have imagined anything else?

I would like to think that even more than Jeff’s mom it was likely our Blessed Mother that really set us up! LOL

I’m praying for Vegas, Zina! Happy anniversary and congrats on one of the all-time great “how we met” stories.

Happy anniversary! I can't believe you even have a picture in an adorable Elvis costume. Of course you had to write this post. 🥰

Thank you! Yes, when I saw the costume in a catalogue I had to get it!
