DiBella’s Subs

Nine years ago today, my wife and I got married down the street from where we live in the backyard of a Justice of the Peace. It was a nice informal wedding that suited us perfectly.

Usually we have lunch separately during the work week. We don’t have a traditional lunch for our anniversary, but I decided it would be nice for us to have lunch together at my wife’s office.

I stopped by DiBella’s Subs on the way to pick up a Ham and Swiss for her and a Chicken Philly for myself. The subs there are made fresh right there in front of you including the hot subs like my Chicken Philly. We enjoyed a nice lunch together which was a welcome change of pace for both of us. I’m not sure if this will become a new tradition for us, but we both really enjoyed it.

We did, however, have our traditional anniversary pizza tonight. You may recall me talking about that  back on the 10th. That’s because we celebrate both the anniversary of when we met as well as when we got married. Not only did we order our pizza, but afterwards my wife called them back to thank them for being such a big part of our lives together.

Anniversary Pizza

Today marks the 14th anniversary of when my wife Linda and I met. We met online and she almost didn’t meet me because I didn’t have any children and she already had 3 and didn’t want any more. The kids were out of town with their father and she called and invited me over for pizza and some videos. When I arrived she was on the phone so I had a chance to look around the living room which had X-Men figurines hung on the wall. Wolverine is my favorite superhero so this was cool to see. In fact, Wolverine was partially responsible for our meeting. My profile listed Wolverine as my favorite superhero. Linda saw that and how tall I am and she was interested.

So when she was done with her call, we enjoyed some pizza and wings. While we ate, we watched Con Air and The Rock – two great action flicks. We’ve been together ever since.

Five years later, on the 25th, we got married by a Justice of the Peace. Afterwards we went home and ordered pizza. Every year when either anniversary comes up, we order pizza. We don’t always get wings. Sometimes we will even watch one of our two action flicks. It depends on our schedule. Regardless, pizza remains a special meal to us.

Are there any meals that may seem ordinary to others that have a special meaning for you?
