At the Airport, Kevin steps up AND gets his first bit of marriage advice!

I know, the 3rd post, and we haven't even left town yet!...  but I have to share while I can!...

Kevin is being so awesome!  I don't even have to remind him that I'm pregnant, and he's offering to carry my bags all over the airport, my PINK and brown bag!  (I had already told him he was in charge of transporting the checked luggage, to which he whole-heartedly agreed!)

So as soon as we got here, we scoped out a place to eat.  It is dinner-time, after all...  Not much to choose from, we ended up at the Saxon Pub, at the opposite end of the airport from our gate.  But he was a trooper, carried my bag, and absolutely didn't care that I made him traverse there and back!

(I shout let you know that Kevin says I'm definitely growing accustomed to pulling the "I'm pregnant!" card to get what I want.  I realized how valuable the play is when we first used it at the Toadies concert and got VIP seats -- and I'm 4 months in!  I only have 5 more months to use it as an excuse!)

While at the Saxon Pub, Kevin ordered our food while I held the table.  We fiddled with electronic devices, and when I'd settled down, I asked him about our number and when our food would be ready, and was he listening to the numbers.  No, he wasn't, but our number was 76.  And, as if on cue, the guy gets on the intercom, "Number 76!"  The guy sitting next to us had just previously taken out his earbuds and was witnessing my uncanny timing.  He laughed and wondered why I had even beat around the bush in urging him to get our food, instead of just asking him to get our food.  It was hilarious.  When Kevin came back to the table with more food, he continued on with the advice, and even invited the man he was sharing his table with into the conversation.  The both of them had been happily married (to their wives, not each other) for 27 / 28 years, and both had 3 children.  I found it amusing that they wished to impart advice onto Kevin, learning that we were on our way to Fiji to get married...  Some of their gems included:

You can either be right, or you can be happy.

The 2 most important words to learn when you get married are:  Yes, dear.

Her methods will somehow keep you sane.

And not much of a gem, but the man was pretty adamant to share it with Kevin:  
They all look different, but they're all wired the same.

Now Kevin is wondering if he will spend the week receiving loads of unsolicited advice.  I would laugh at him, but I imagine there's a possibility that I might receive the same.
