The BIG 3 - 0

Thirty years ago, Scott and I were married and sealed together in the Idaho Falls Temple. We headed up there separately; he alone and I with my parents. We have been traveling together ever since. It has been a marvelous journey. I am so very thankful for Scott. He is everything to me. He is truly my very best friend.

I have been thinking about our wedding and the reception we had the next day. Here are a few pictures for your entertainment.
Didn't Scott look handsome in his tux? We were so young! Who knew that Scott had hair!!?

Here's the beautiful couple! Isn't my dress beautiful? When I was a Beehive, I cut a picture out of a magazine and I saved it in my journal. My mother made my dress just like the one I had saved. Didn't she do a great job?
Yes, I sang at the reception. I sang "Looking Through the Eyes of Love."
Our first kiss was across the alter, which is another story all together, but as you can see we made up for lost time!

What do you think? Should we have ordered a shorter cake or a taller photographer?

Wasn't I just so cute and dainty? I was actually taller than my Mom. I am wearing flats and she is wearing heels.

How wonderful! I can't believe your first kiss was over the alter...those were the days, weren't they? You were absolutely beautiful! I love the dress, great gift that your Mom was able to make it. My Mom-in-law made mine. Happy Anniversary!

I am amazed at dad's style at wearing a white tux. He had good style like...someone else (think hard and you might be able to guess who). Happy anniversary, mom and dad!
