I hope Jeremy and I have just as many fun stories and memories after our own wedding!
Be careful what you wish for Jondi! What makes for hilarious stories six years after the fact feel like stressful disasters on the day itself.
sorry i missed it! this day 6 years ago I was about to deliver a 10 1/2 pounder:)
Well I figure with 4 small children in the wedding…we are bound to get at least one story out of that!
5 small kids! Don’t forget Erin’s new one!
Anyway…my point was that it all doesn’t matter. No matter how stressed you are it makes for beautiful memories.
Happy Anniversary!
I remember running around so much that I forgot/didn’t have time to cry. Also, when Jamie & I got married and I was looking for music for my wedding, and I pretty much wanted to use all of your music, because it was sooo good.
on that day six years ago, i forgot to be in any of the wedding pics because i was trying to calm the chaos in the reception hall.
but that’s ok…hugh’s not in any of our wedding pics either.
