when we worked at the resort where we first met.\u00a0 It seems especially fitting since today is our 26th wedding anniversary that we share a cocktail that reminds us of when we first met.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2980\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
