As those of you who know us know that Bill and I were married on the Walnut Street Bridge (those that were there, who could forget it, right?!). Those of you who are unfamiliar with Chattanooga, the Walnut Street Bridge is one of four bridges in downtown Chattanooga and was built in 1881. It used to be used for cars, but as the years passed and it became too unsafe for them, it was restored (sometime in the 1980's I think?) as a pedestrian walking bridge. It is a wonderful place to visit with the Bluff View art district on the south side and Coolidge Park and Frazier Ave. on the north side.
Bill and I would go there often as we were courting and he once sang a love song to me (Garth Brooks 'To Make You Feel My Love'). So that was where I told him I wanted to get married.
His "official" proposal was beside the Tennessee River at sunset (Ah, so romantic!) and then we honeymooned in Ashville, NC and then on to Gatlinburg, TN. We stayed at the Bearskin Lodge on River Rd. It's a huge log cabin style hotel next to the Little Pigeon creek and our room had a balcony where we could see the creek below. If you ever get the chance to stay there--do! It's beautiful! And go to The Park restaurant; it looks just like the Bearskin.
In the manner of the Smoky Mtns., it rained for most of our visit. But, for the majority of the time, it just misty rained. I remember walking back to the hotel after breakfast or lunch (?) and walking near the creek. There was a tree that came out over the sidewalk and just as Bill and I were walking under it, I reached up and grabbed a branch and gave it a great shake! Bill, in his wonderful humor, just laughed!
Most of the wonderful memories I have with my Sweetie happens in the day to day living with him. The crazy lyrics he makes up to songs and commercials, the way he always flirts and sweet talks me and constantly telling me he loves me, and his way of looking at things logically and sensibly, grounds me (I can get too caught up in my emotional side of thinking sometimes) and gives me encouragement that I can do whatever I put my mind to. He makes me so very happy to have in my life and-Sweetheart, you are the love of my life! Happy Anniversary!~
