5th Wedding Anniversary

Abby Lab here - it's Mom and Dad's fifth wedding anniversary! They met in 2008 after being friends online for several years (Mom knew Dad's father well as he too is a "fed ", but didn't meet Dad yet as he was off in college). Their love story is in The Book of Barkley, (including the exploding dog poop wedding proposal malfunction). Being science geeks they had a Dr. Who themed wedding and a reception at a British pub.  I wish I had been part of their family back them but I'm just happy they are my paw-rents now.
“Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.”
— River Song, Season 6, Episode 13
“I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.”
— The Doctor, Season 6, Episode 6
“You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away.”
— Rose Tyler, Season 1, Episode 13
“Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!”
—The Doctor, Season 7, Christmas Special
The Doctor: "Amy, you'll find your Rory. You always do. But you really have to look."
Amy: "I am looking."     
The Doctor:" Oh, my Amelia Pond. You don't always look hard enough."
Doctor Who - Season Six, Episode 13
 “There’s a lot of things you need to get across this universe. Warp drive… wormhole refractors… You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.”
— The Doctor, Season 6, Episode 6
 “We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”
— The Doctor, Season 5, Episode 13
"The universe is big, it's vast and complicated, and ridiculous and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles."

  3. Happy anniversary to your lovely pawrents!! Momma has some dear friends getting married this weekend, so we'll be sure to let them know it's a lucky time.

    We also love your wedding theme! Momma and I watch the Doctor together every week. One of our very favoritest quotes is "When the wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it, but always when you need it the most... there is a Song."

    1. It was, and my husband reinforced he was a keeper when in lieu of a honeymoon we went West and hung out with my only brother who was terminally ill. (my brother was an engineer in the Navy and he just loved my husband).

    1. We got married at home by a close friend who is a best selling sci fi author and also a retired minister so it was really small. The food to which we had our cake with was all made by friends in lieu of gifts, we got our flowers at the grocers, and the cake was made by a couple of local women and just perfect for our small party. After a lot of visiting as most of the guests traveled, we all went to a British pub for supper than my husband and I spent the night at a B and B while our minister friend and his pilot wife, dog sat Barkley. I think we did the whole wedding including my dress and our rings for less than $1200.
