This may seem a bit odd, but the best wedding present I received was tickets to Opening Day at Fenway Park. My wife and I are avid Red Sox fans and had never seen the opening day festivities before. Normally, for the first game of the season we have to try to get to a restaurant at lunch time to try to catch some of the action. Having tickets to the game also meant that the two of us would get to take a day out of work together, we never get to do that.
This year was extra special because we weren’t the only ones in the stadium with new rings, our beloved Sox were being given their 2007 World Championship rings! I will never forget the day that my new bride and I got to spend together in the beautiful April sun on the first base line.
I do not mean to seem ungrateful for all of the other wonderful gifts that we were given by our friends and family, but being at that game with her made us both feel so alive. I can’t say that I will always remember the silver picture frame or crystal that we received on our wedding day, but our trip to Boston we will never forget.
