Twenty years ago today…

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 • 12 Comments

…I was getting married. Twenty years. It’s a pretty big milestone, which sent me looking through pictures. Here are a few that stuck out to me…

My sister helping me get dressed. Now we have six kids between us and my oldest graduates from high school next month.

I’m quite sure I was telling him how to cut a cake.

Of course he did it wrong.

Whispering sweet nothings in my new husband’s ear. (Actually, I’m pretty sure I was telling him I had to pee, but my dress wouldn’t fit in the “water closet” of the beautifully restored freight house we were married in.)

The laughter that gets you through twenty years together.

I could probably fill a notebook with things I might do differently in my life, but saying yes when this guy handed me a ring and said “Well, do you want it?” isn’t one of them.

I love hearing the “romantic” proposals of our guys. Mine, appropriately, proposed over the phone. No reason to have done it the week before when we were in town together. He waited for me to be back in AL, 600 miles away, and did it via long distance — the way most of our relationship was for the first 14 years of our marriage.
