If you follow me on Facebook, you probably saw that Dac and I celebrated being married 4 years on the 16th. (Obviously I'm a little late on this post.) Since I haven't blogged about it before, I thought I'd just share a couple pictures from our wedding day.
But first... a little back story. =)
Once upon a time.... ok, ok... I'll try to make it snappy. Dac and I knew each other as kids at church. I was little shy girl who always had her hair curled and wore pretty (pretty for the 90's, mind you) dresses (thanks mom!) =) Dac was the funny kid who was a bit of a pain in the butt and always got in trouble with the Sunday school teacher.
Then, after hanging out more in youth group, we became great friends and spent our summers together at the pool. We officially started "dating" in high school and we continued to date long-distance through college, until FINALLY... Dac proposed towards the end of my senior year in college. We got married in September of that same year (2006) and have been doing life together...laughing as we go...ever since.
Now to the pictures. The first one is of homecoming my freshman year. We were still "just friends" at this point and the whole getting dressed up and pinning flowers on each other while our parents stared at us was still a little awkward to say the least.
These next two are from a couple months before the wedding. Our actual engagement pictures look ridiculous thanks to a little hair-mishap Dac had, so these are the closest thing I'm willing to share today! =)
Here's just a few from our wedding day. We opted to have a pretty small, traditional little church wedding and reception. Our main color, was of course, orange. We played lots of jazzy music before the ceremony. We practiced what we currently preach and had a "First Sight". I, of course, laughed through our entire vows. And voila! We were hitched!
Here's one last shot for you. The guys were HILARIOUS....really. Not. =) However, I do get a kick out this picture. I think it's because, for some reason, when I look at it, it looks like Matt and Tarl are holding hands. =) Ah.
Well, that's that. we're almost embarrassed to say we've been together over 12 years but I guess it is what it is. Four married-years into it and I have no regrets! We make a good team! I keep him more focused, he keeps me more relaxed, and together we keep each other laughing! =)
