What a cute couple you and the RBC make!
I think you are definitely two people that have gotten hotter with age.
Back in the day I think I might have wanted to go to first base with you.
Now....home run! Bay-ee!
awesome - I was just posting my wedding photos for a friend & was already embarrassed & it has only been 9 years.
My reception was for my parents I didn't eat, dance, or really talk to anyone ... I stood in line & met people. It was totally fun ... umm ... maybe not.
THATS what I'm talkin bout!
your lost ring reminded me of something i'd forgotten about: my mom's wedding ring was stolen. from her PURSE. in a CHURCH. during a FAMILY REUNION! talk about sucky...
Thanks for fulfilling your blogligation. I see you didn't pass around the joy. Bah Humbug.
But seriously, that is the hottest wedding ensemble, particularly the headpiece, I've ever laid eyes on. I bet you were the hit of St.G.
WOW! This was too funny! and waiting for 25 years for the first kiss. What will power! rock it girl!
the headpiece...wow.
and the picture too stinking cute-well, minus the headpiece! I know I know, you were impaired!
I am the same age as you and got married in 1992- I can totally relate to the headband! I had a mermaid style dress too, and very floral bridemaids dresses in the hue of dark green and mauve! I also wish I had taken my mom's advice and took the cash- I, am also from Utah and I thought a reception was the law too- =)
I love that picture of the two of you. What a hot couple!
I'm with you, if I was to do it again, I would "Go on take the money and run". ;)
I think we had the same veil.
And I'm wishing I would've taken the money and ran, too.
Jamaica?!?!? hello. I worked for Morris Air and got a comped honeymoon to Disneyland, Seaworld and the Princess Resort in SanDiego. Oh yah, must not forget the fresh ride to toodled in- Can you picture the Newly Wed Hansen's in a Volvo Wagon? Green. Just the two of us. Mmm.mmm.
aww you were rolling big back then too huh jamaica wow.
Oh, man. This made my day.
My sister got married in 1992, too! It involved flowered dresses and mauve.
The fact that you still look hot doesn't surprise me.
Oh wow, Mindi! You get the VTS best post of the week award for this one. That pic is CLASSIC!
A tole painting? Seriously? Who invited that person?
two thumbs up. fine holiday fun...
I like your early 90's dress! You look so pretty.
I must say this is one of a very few Q&A posts that I read all the way through, skipping nothing. You crack me up!
You two are adorable and I love this post. Good luck making it to your 25 year to share that first kiss ;)
