18 years... WOW!!!!!

We got married on a Thursday morning July 19 1991. It was hot, but cloudy and rainy, which made for really pretty pictures! We got married in the Salt Lake Temple and we were very very excited. Every wedding has to include a disaster, ours was that Jon forgot his tux down in Central. Michael (his brother) went and got him one while we were in the temple. Luckily it fit and was actually nicer than the original!!!!

We had our reception the next day in his parents back yard, and there was a rainbow right during it, it was so beautiful. Than we headed up to Canada for a reception up there. I remember being eaten ALIVE by the mosquitoes for our pictures (they are like BIRDS up there I swear) and going through the McDonald's drive through in our wedding dress and tux, and they didn't even give us anything for free!!!! We spent our honeymoon there and got to see Les Miserables and had quite the adventure in Jon's parents van, if I havn't told you about it, it's quite the story :)

Lots of people can't say they are still happy after being married for awhile, it turns into just going through the motions and kind of living parallel lives. But I can honestly say I love this guy more now than I did then. He is my best friend and even though we are different in almost every way, and disagree on plenty, we seem to be able to make it work. We have a sign in our house that says, "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person". It's a lot of work and requires sacrifice and compromise, but it's also the greatest thing ever. Happy 18th anniversary babe, you'll always be my "lobster" !!!!
