So since I recounted the story of my first date with Seymour and the story of our engagement the last two weeks, I thought I’d recount the tale of our wedding today. That was when I discovered that I’d already recounted it once before, and in a much more entertaining fashion than I could possibly come up with today, thanks to being brain-dead after staying up way too late last night (thanks, insomnia).
To read what I wrote about our wedding for the 2012 October Memoir and Backstory Blog Challenge, go here. 🙂
I also discovered, from the same blog challenge, a post wherein I recounted the story of our first date. I skimmed the post, and I actually liked the older post even better than the one I shared two weeks ago. See? This is the sort of thing I mean when I say I can’t remember squat.
Anyway, this week’s throwback photo is a favorite from our wedding reception. That’s the best man holding the flower girl while being attacked by the ring bearer. Lots of great pictures from that night; lots of great memories.
Have a great weekend, everybody, and don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog and see what she’s thinking about this fabulous Friday!

Seymour proposed on December 23, 2008, which happened to be my grandpa and step-grandma’s fifth wedding anniversary. He had just died three months prior, so it was rather a sad day for her. But not for me – I was anxiously awaiting the end of the day so I could get all gussied up for the ROTC military ball in a neighboring town.
As I’ve mentioned before, Thumper doesn’t know how to be still. The kid is always moving, even when he’s asleep.




One of the things I love to read in the spring (yes, there are a couple of them) is my collection of Shakespearean sonnets. I don’t know why, but poetry and spring are inextricably linked for me (which works out well, since April is National Poetry Month).
