Our Anniversary

Ok, so I am a day early but we have a TON of stuff going on tomorrow so I just wanted to post about us. Mike and I finally tied the knot on June 21, 2002 after being together since 1995. I've never had the typical fairy princess wedding dreams. Just wasn't me. I didn't want a performance, marriage was about 2 people coming together to show their love for one another. So we went to Myrtle Beach, SC and met up with our folks. Did the tourist thing for a day or two and went to the beach and got hitched! It was short and sweet. Afterwards we went to the house of Blues with our parents for lunch then we were off.
We drove up to Charlotte, NC to Dixies Tavern, I think it was an Oyster Festival. Anyway, I had contacted Paul Sanchez from Cowboy Mouth and told him we would be at the show, and that we were getting married that day. He would know who we were, I had made up a couple corney shirts-mine said I GOT MARRIED TODAY, and Mike's said ME TOO. So we drank TONS...too much really, and the band sang AMORE for us then we met them afterwards.
In true Fred form these are the lovely photos we got that night:

Not your typical wedding nite photos!
At any rate, we enjoyed our wedding. I was about 30 pounds lighter and felt great. 2 Kids and laziness gets you fat! But here it is 5 years later, and we are happy now and have a family. We have grown and are enjoying life. I love Mike and he Loves me-most days. I can be pretty bitchy and hard to deal with but he has managed to do it for 12 years!
So anyway, just thought I'd share our day from 5 years ago.....
I realize that there are 2 posts involving Cowboy Mouth close together, but just happened to be we saw them close to our anniversary.
