21 Years Ago Today

21 years ago today, a wonderful young man took me by the hand. 

We went to a very special place.  We committed to be best friends forever.

Yep, we got married.

We were blessed with loving families.  They shared our special day with us:

Bride's Family

Groom's Family

Groom's Father

Groom's Mother

Bride's Mother and Father

Bride's beautiful niece.  (An heirloom quilt made by bride's maternal grandmother in background.)

Groom's beautiful mother and sister.

That was then, this is now.... 

What happened!!!?? 

Just kidding, I'm sure in 21 more years we'll look at this picture of us today - taken as we were leaving the Italian restaurant where we had our celebratory anniversary lunch - and say, "Wow! look how young we looked."  I am looking forward to 21 more fantastic years with my best friend!
