15 years ago........




November 5, 1993


I think I made a pretty good decision. I married my best friend for eternity in the Ogden Temple.

@ 9:26am to be exact

I know this cuz Ralph and Delayne had a stop watch!

yep, in the temple!

Some things I really remember about that day......

Brian picking me up in his old ford high boy, painted 20 thousand different colors of rust, because if we got in an accident on the way, we would win!

I remember the look on my husband to be's face when he saw me the first time in my dress.

The fact that he couldn't stop bouncing his right knee up and down while we listened to the sealer talk to us.

The very heafty woman in the background of our wedding video......skirt tucked into her g's and all as she was getting out of her car!

Me, passing out in the bathroom of the Mansion House @ our wedding breakfast cuz I was too nervous to eat anything that morning!

Brian, Carson, and Rick doing the Paul Simon 'You Can Call Me Al' dance for me before the reception!

and finally

the look on Brian's face when I told him to help me out of my wedding dress after the reception, so I could change into comfy clothes to go on our honeymoon!

Ah, young love!

in these 15 years we have went thru a ton of ups and downs....

4 children, job changes, 20+ cars!!!!!(not kiddin') and sometimes wanting to throw in the towel, but looking back at everything it makes me appreciate our marriage more and as each day or year passes I am very thankful for our decision that beautiful November day


I love you Brian, you are my best friend. Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!! I had just met Carrson fifteen years ago (in a couple of weeks). I'm going to have to ask him about the Paul Simon dance, I can just imagine, remember their "Marvin the Martian" socks at our wedding? I remember that truck, I think I saw it last summer. (jk) Whatever happened to it? I know you sold it.
