It’s my pleasure to introduce Jay, my first-ever-in-the-history-of-my-blog, male feature. Thank you so much for your willingness to give me a love story when I asked for it. Happy Anniversary!
Despite a terrible year prior, a selfish wedding party, and a caterer who didn’t seem to own any knives…
you looked me in my deeply hung-over eyes,
and told me that I would be the only one.
And you will forever be mine.
In great times, and in the others, here we remain.
I hope I never need to say it, but I always will.
I love you.
Yet Another Jay and Deb Production.
I’m Jay from HalftimeLessons.com, co-home of Tuesday’s Tribute…I only started blogging last fall, and HalftimeLessons is only what it is due to my mediocre writing and some phenomenal friends like Angie. As you can tell from above, I married extremely well, and have two incredible children, so don’t fall in love with me. I’m taken, and she is more than I can handle. By the time you read this, I will be bald, having shaved my head for St. Baldrick’s children’s cancer research this past Saturday…I hope you read about it, and find the beauty in this cause that I have. My greatest thanks to Angie for letting me guest post on Seven Clown Circus, one of my absolute favorite blogs…I’m one of your greatest fans, Red!
About Angie

Lovely post for your beautiful wife, thanks for sharing.
That is an absolutely beautiful post.
Awe….what a sweet post and wow those wedding pictures look taken from a catalog. What a beautiful couple. I checked out the new hair (or not so much hair).. not bad. In fact I think that is really BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks for posting here today!
God Bless.

Such a beautiful wedding…
I love weddings…my son and his future bride marry in November!
jay is one of my favs…now that i see how much he loves deb, it makes me smile!
Beautiful post, Jay! When you originally pledged to shave your head, I mentioned it in my own Tuesday Tribute to my dad who died of cancer, and my other dad who raised me. Someone thought I was shaving MY head. So because of that, I feel a little kinship to you. Way to go!
what a sweet post. the wedding pictures are incredible! thanks for sharing!
How are us frogs ever gonna get kissed if we have to compete with princes who turn into princes when kissed??
Nice post, Jay. If that doesn’t schmooz the missus, not much will.
And Happy Anniversary!
