Eight years ago today, my husband Curtis and I said our "I Do's". We exchanged our vows, had our first dance to Etta James, and had a super blow-out party afterwards.
I sat down early this morning and pulled out the wedding album and honeymoon photos so I could take a walk down memory lane and reminisce our big day together. WOW! It's amazing all the feelings and emotions come flooding back when flipping page by page.
I married my best friend in Savannah,GA
That city will always have a special place in my heart.
We spent two weeks touring Italy on our honeymoon. It doesn't get more romantic than that!
Here we are enjoying a gondola ride in Venice. Check out the super pointy boots I am wearing. I bought them in Rome, and still have them tucked away in my closet to this day. I don't wear them any longer, but I can't bring myself to part with them either. :)
Before Italy I could NOT get my husband to drink red wine. How can you visit Italy and not drink red wine? It's like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel tower. It's a must!
I didn't take much convincing, and now he prefers red over white. Good man!
Life is super busy these days for the both of us, and children and work take up a majority of our time. However, tonight it will just be the two of us dining and celebrating eight years together at one of our longtime favorite restaurants. I look forward to toasting over champagne and enjoy each other's company.
Later tonight I might even torcher him and pull out the video of our wedding day.
God love him...my husband is a huge SAP! He will cry at commercials at the drop
of a hat. That's why I love him so much. He's a huge teddy bear with big heart!
Happy Anniversary "Shy Boy"!
(Yep! That was my nick-name for him way back when.) ;)
Thanks for stopping by!!! Wishing you all a *~*FABULOUS*~* week!!!
XOXO,
Happy Anniversary Jenn and Curtis!!! I hope you have a wonderful celebration and I wish you many more!
love,
angela

Jenn, Congratulations to both of you! You are as beautiful today as you were 8 years ago & I'm sure your sweetie tells you so! I can never thank you enough for opening up the world of Art Events for me. Yours was a first & it will always be in my mind. But, after attending it I was having withdrawls from the magic & I wanted to experience more. I have always loved mermaids & had been thinking about Kim's event in July. I have decided I am going to book & go. So, I see the button on your sidebar, I can't wait to see you again in LA. I hope we can spend a little time together while we are there. Have a wonderful anniversary alllllllllllllllllllll week long. HUGS! Charlene

Happy Anniversary Jenn!! You can see how much you love each other in these pictures.
I know I am kindof weird but this makes me think of something I think about all the time... when we are old we will hopefully look out upon our children, their spouses, and our grandchildren and possibly their children... I always find it amazing that so many people will come from the beginning love of just 2 people. We have so many years to look forward to!! You know what i mean?
COngrats sweet friend!
