I wish I had a scanner. I would upload some cheesy wedding photo. Here are a few facts about us instead.
Did you know that a terrible wedding day and reception is supposed to be good luck? It must have been what's helped us all these years. I think the real low point was being left at the hairdressers, begging for a ride from someone there at the hairdressers, having to scale my parents snowy roof to get into the second story window with my new French tip nails, because I needed to get my veil and shoes. Ahh, good times. :)
Did you know that our wedding anniversary is exactly 12 days before Christmas? We sometimes get or do little things each day to keep celebrating.
Did you know that we also picked the 13th so we could have a few Friday the 13th anniversaries? We did, we're kind of funny that way.
Did you know that I prayed to know who I was going to marry when I was in 8th grade? I did. I was in Miss Money's English class and I had a voice tell me very plainly, "your going to marry Jeff DeCoursey." I looked over at the chubby kid with glasses who was probably wheezing at the time, I snorted and said something along the lines of "whatever!"
Did you know that I married my best friend? I did. Jeff and I were best friends for about 2 years before I ever felt romantic feelings for him.
Did you know that I fell in love with him at a cemetery? Yup. I went to visit Grandma Elva and Grandpa Jess's graves and feed the swans. Jeff took me and we brought a picnic lunch. We sat on a bench and I heard something in my head say, "You love him, you need to be with him." I instantly fell in love with him. Like snapping your fingers. We were married 3 months later.
(my mom thinks it was Grandma Elva being the meddling matchmaker)
Well, I am glad that I married my best friend. We have been through ups and downs together and we have faired pretty well. So here's to 11 years and counting towards eternity.

Happy Anniversary! Such fun memories. I loved it--though I do think we need the full story about your wedding day!

There may have been a time when I had doubts about that chubby blonde kid with glasses as well. But now I can't imagine life without Jeff. He was simply born to be a part of our family. I hope that you did have a great time last night and that you were able to let go of your cares for a while.
Happy Anniversary to you both!
Love Mom
Happy Anniversary!! I'll never forget the awkward feeling in the chapel when the wedding should have started... but hadn't... and then your dad got up to the pulpit and announced that there would be a slight delay because you weren't there yet...
