Meanwhile back at the farm...

I did it! Crazy I know. I remember driving through the desert praying that if I was making a mistake God would roll large boulders in front of the car. He didn't. And we got married at the Silver Bell Wedding Chapel In Vegas. A few years later it was burned down by a homeless man. The kids keep asking for pictures of our wedding. I tell them that I have no idea where they are but if the see them to let me know. Why because we have not a single Polaroid of the day. We even had friend that were in Vegas that weekend and didn't tell them. We came home and told no one until October. I had a falling out with my room mates and had to move. Our families were not exactly thrilled. They found no humor in it. Bill's mom cried to the lady in Hallmark while buying us a card. My dad said he knew. My boss at the time was very upset. I worked at a private school and they were worried about how it would "look". So to summarize we knew each other for years, we dated 2 months before we got engaged, and got married a month and half later. We had no bachelor/ bachelorette parties, no showers, no pictures, we do have a license signed by Reverend Cotton.  I'm certain he would have started preaching fire and brimstone if we would had anyone else there. The August of 99 wedding did not happen because we got pregnant with Macey in February. All the money we saved for a wedding now went to baby stuff. I do have a dress that I have never even tried on. We ordered it before I was pregnant. So from these very stupid beginnings we have made it 9 1/2 years. Next post will be begin the highs and lows over the years. Believe me their are some real lows and great highs. Hold on to your hats....

  1. How adventurous! It is such a great story. So you got married and didn't tell anyone for 2 months? Did you not live together for those months? I am a little confused.
    And since you didn't do the 99 wedding, are you planning on having a big ceremony for 10...?
