This is a website dedicated to my lovely wife Veda. I created this for her 48th birthday - she is three years older than me. I couldn't do this for other birthdays because somehow they are all "special" and I need to buy her something expensive. So I got off easy this year.

At the time of my writing this, we have been married for just over 16 years. Veda would have told you 15 or 17, but it is really 16. We've been together for 18 years. It only feels like 18 months.

Below you can see some of my favorite pictures of Veda. As a child, you can see in her eyes (and teeth) the woman she would grow up to be. On a bus in Croatia you can see her less friendly side. And anyone who knows Veda, knows that she loves the cold - hence the last photo: Veda in an Ice Bar in Sweden.

Clicking on the above links will let you know a little about how I see Veda, tell you why I love her so much and relate some funny stories. There is also a small picture gallery containing some of my favorite photos of her. You can see those, and more, on our family website at Mathewsweb.net.

In all seriousness, please view this website as a representation of my love for my wife - Veda.
