13 years ago

Oct 12, 1996 I married the best man in the whole world!! We eloped to Maui and married with Taylor and Connor as our witness' in Wailai, HI. It was one of the best days of my life. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and 13 years later(together 17) I would do it all over again in a second!!

Fast forward to Oct 11, 1997 we renewed our vows in front of my family who was just a little mad about us eloping. We had been planning a wedding for months(hence the dress) and made us feel so guilty for not allowing anyone else to participate that we had my family pastor(has married every single person in my family) do our vows. We did the dress, the cake, the aisle the flowers the whole nine yards. It reminded David and I why we eloped. While I am glad I had just a smidge of that experience I am mostly glad I have the pictures. But the memories from our little wedding in Maui will be a day I will never forget!!

Happy Anniversary baby....I love you!! Here's to many more years of happiness and laughter:) XO

We had the big white wedding the first time & I have joked with Skipper that in 3 years (on our 20th) I would love for us to renew our vows on the beach, just us & the kids. We'll be opposite of you guys!
Love your wedding pictures! We didn't have a great photographer for ours! :-(; October 15, 2009 at 6:03 PM

Love your wedding pictures! We go to Wailea every Spring Break if we can. My kids think it is the greatest place in the world.

Happy Anniversary!; November 4, 2009 at 5:43 AM
