Happy 18th Anniversary!

This time 18 years ago, I was on my way to get my makeup & hair done. In a few hours I would be getting married!...April 9, 1988 was one of the best days of my life! I had my friends & family around me and for once I was the center of attention... Well isn't the bride always the star of the show? And isn't it something little girls always dream of when they get older????

It was a loooonnnnng wedding service. It was anglican, so what does anyone expect...and our minister (Father Ray, bless his soul) convinced us to take communion, so all told, I think we were there for at least an hour!

The reception was held in the hall right next to the church. It was a lovely day.. started out with light rain, but then cleared up in time for our pictures at Lonsdale Quay.

There was lots to eat, lots to drink & a really kick-ass DJ who really knew how to spin those tunes! Usually a lot of the guests leave after the cake, but most stayed until we had to vacate at 1am. What a party. Brook & I stayed right till the end and we didn't even leave to get changed. Would have cut into us having too much fun partying.

We've heard that our wedding reception was one of the best, our guests had ever attended. I'm glad. We sure had fun.

Now 18 years later, it's a memory...a very fond one. Lots of things have changed in our lives... (it's bound to!) and we're not the same people as back then. But our love has endured, and that's the most important thing, isn't it?

Tonight, we will quietly celebrate with each other... we're going to a movie, just Brook & I... maybe we'll cuddle & hold hands...and sit in the back row!
