I'm looking forward to a weekend away to reconnect with my husband at a friend's wedding in St. Petersburg. It is appropriate for us to be attending someone else's wedding for our anniversary to prompt us to reflect on our own wedding and the vows that we said that day.
Excuse the horribly messy scans and the awful photo color. It's amazing when you see your wedding pictures how beautiful you thought they were. Then when you look back nine years later {technology has changed and photography style has changed} you just think, "ick"!
Our vows that we memorized for the ceremony were {from the best of my recollection}:
"I, Shannon, take you, Ben, to be my husband. And I promise, before God and these witnesses, to be your loving and faithful wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward for better – for worse, for richer – for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live."
Reciting our vows.
Mr. and Mrs. Grooters!
We were so young...just 23 and 22 years of age {respectively}!
Happy {four-twenty} anniversary to us. Here's to many more!
- Cheers
