Anniversary Time

Sixteen years ago today, Brad and I said "I do."




Dad gets me to the church on time.



His hand on mine as we head down the aisle.















Mrs. Smith!

















Everything about our day was magical.
















See the older girl beside me? My niece Christi.
















She's now 22. Sixteen years later, she's getting married on our wedding day. I hadn't realized how special our day was for her, until she told me of her choice for a wedding date. She chose it because of what it means to her, and what we mean to her. That just makes my heart melt.

How I wish we could be with her as she marries her sweetheart.

Brad and I will be in Yarmouth with my family for my grandmother's funeral. Another special ceremony for a cherished mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend.

Let the dancing begin! Our first dance was to Sergio Mendes - Pretty World. We even did the samba.
















Dad twirls my sister on the dance floor.
