Today Was A Good Day, Ice Cube


I'm watching Dateline NBC.

The story is about a man who was wrongfully accused of murder, put in prison, and nearly put to death before the charges were dropped.
While being interviewed the man was asked how his freedom felt. He said, "It was the best day of my life." He paused and then said, "Aside from the day I married my wife here. Sorry."

Dude. Don't apologize. Sure, it's a social nicety for every one to say that their wedding day is the single most important day in their life, (Until, of course, their first child is born. And if they have more than one child...well...don't get me started!) but very few people have lived out the scenario you have, so live it up! Be honest! Absolutely. Yes. You were sentenced to death for a crime you did not commit and nearly fried in the electric chair. The day you walked out of prison, hugged your friends and family, pet your dog, put on your old street clothes, drank a beer, watched your own TV, and had a home cooked meal again...that is, without a doubt, one hundred percent, the best day of your entire life! And if that woman sitting next to you who vowed on your wedding day that she'd love you for better or worse does not understand that, then she is selfish and doesn't really love you at all. You don't need her. Tell her to suck it. (That was a terrible dress she had on anyway.)

The best day of your life should be the day you actually met that person anyway, not the frou-frou wedding.
