Happy Anniversary!

Seven years ago tomorrow, Jeremy and I embarked on an adventure called marriage. As I reflect on that day, a few things stand out:

Jer was late arriving to the temple. How could someone to be late to their own wedding? Honestly, the thought did cross my mind that he might jilt me in retaliation of my indecisiveness while we were dating. What perfect retribution! Fortunately, he decided to show up. (Jer claims he wasn't late -- a disagreement we have that will never be resolved).

We got lost leaving the Mt. Timpanogos Temple to head to Thanksgiving Point for the luncheon. We arrived a little late and were greeted with snickers and winks. Really, people! We were lost!

My bouquet ended up staining my dress -- the flowers weren't properly cut (according to one of our guests who knows her botany), so I got all this residue on me during the reception line. I had to hold the flowers high enough so people wouldn't notice.

Other mishaps? I forgot that my dad had to work on Friday and didn't give him a proper goodbye before we left on our honeymoon. My cousin ate our entire wedding cake, which was stored in my mom's freezer (we only got one bite at the reception). And the weather was so hot that day, I wasn't feeling very beautiful as we were taking pictures. I guess you could say I was "glowing," but for all the wrong reasons.

Anyway, those things just added to the character of a great day. The sealing was wonderful, Jer looked so handsome, and we appreciated the support of friends and family. These seven years have been super, and marriage has been relatively easy (our tortuous dating life prepared us for anything). Hopefully we haven't reached the "seven-year itch" because I've been so content. Thanks, Jer! Love you!
