eleven years



Today is one of our two anniversaries. Eleven years ago, we got married by a judge in a 10 minute ceremony. It took place during the spring break of my junior year in college. It was really odd to become a married woman in less time than it takes me to eat lunch. More than anything else it was a matter of getting visa paperwork started for my husband. We got married by the church in August of the same year and we consider that our real anniversary. In any case, we still wish each other a happy anniversary and we still have lovely memories of that day.

I don't have a decent photo of us on hand but I do have a cute one of the kids that I took the day we went to the boardwalk (see? there where a lot of people around). It's not the best looking photo, but holding hands is not something the kids do often, so I find it very sweet. I also think it's a nice image to commemorate the day with.

Happy Anniversary NN! :)

  1. happy anniversary and i think it is so sweet and fitting that an image of your children holding hands is used to represent your union.

  6. I have two anniversaries too. We got married by a judge in May so that we could get on the list for married student housing the following year. But, our real wedding was in August and that is the one we celebrate.

  7. We too were married in a 10 minute civil ceremony when I was a junior in college. Best decision I ever made!

    Congrats on the anniversary. :0)
