13 years ago... yesterday! (I'm a little late)

Yep, August 26, 1995, Clint and I were married in the Las Vegas Temple! Wow, I can't believe it's been that long! I was soooo head over heels in love with him and... I still am. I met him during a high school play we were both in. I was 15 and a sophmore in high school. He was 18 and a senior. We still talk about it now and it's so fun to remember back to those wonderfully silly times. Clint even wrote a song about it a little while later and last night in bed he pulled out his guitar and sang it to me. What a cool guy!! I remember when he first called my house and it sent my heart pitterpattering like crazy. Fortunately, I can still say after so many years, my heart still goes pitterpatter when he I see him or hear his voice! What a lucky girl I am!!

Well, I thought I'd take a blast back to the past and post some fun pictures of that day. Enjoy the Fabulous style of the mid 90's, and the inexpensiveness of my wedding (I borrowed my wedding dress from Clint's cousin, I borrowed my veil from a lady in my ward, a member of the bishopric took our pictures, Clint made my bouquet, my mom made most of the dresses, my exboyfriend's family decorated the cultural hall, Grandma Brown made the beautiful cake, my friend got us our caketop, family took care of serving punch, and cups of nuts, mints, and m&ms, and a tape player was our DJ, AND we didn't have any money for our honeymoon til we opened our cards on the way to the Luxor Hotel to find all the cash! haha) It was one of the best days of my life!!! (Yes, my colors were mint green and light pink.... I still like those colors together. haha)
