Today is a special day for me and my husband. (Happy Anniversary, Honey!)
It’s not 25 years, but it is an anniversary that I would have thought would make us old, back when I was nineteen.
We don’t look old. Our kids are still school-aged, for crying out loud.
In honor of this day, I am posting what I believe is the sweetest love song in theater.
Tevye and Golde, in this song, are about the same age as my husband and me. Possibly a little younger. But they seem older because they married and began having children very young, and their hard life has aged them. Neither of them is a prince or princess. Instead, they are a peasant couple. After having made a life together, prompted by the newfangled habit of marrying for love they are just now raising the question of whether they love each other.
Out of Babel 
Congratulations!

Happy anniversary! It’s wonderful to see people love each other faithfully for so long. That’s also one my favorite romantic songs. My other favorite, what I would like to play at my wedding one day, is “Wonder of wonders.”

Wonder of Wonders is another good one from the younger side. Nothing like comparing your romance to the Exodus. 🙂 Hope that day comes for you.
