Eleven

Eleven years ago today, Larry and I were married.  We'd had a particularly long engagement because I was holding out for that church wedding.  One day I just realized that it's not the wedding that counts but the marriage.  And, really, as far as I was concerned, I'd married him in 1988 when I met him.  That's when my heart married him.

We had a beautiful little wedding with all four of our parents in attendance and we had a reception at my parents' house afterwards.  I was so happy to have our parents together that day.  I still remember the huge smile on his mama's face that was just glued there all day.  I was so blessed to have a mother-in-law who loved me.

Since Larry and I have always been a tad counterculture, both as individuals and then later as a couple, we do just about everything outside the norm.  This Mickey and Minnie cake topper sat on top of our wedding cake!

Happy Anniversary, baby.  I love you!!
