| The photographer (a fellow science teacher) snapped this one as we were leaving at the end of the ceremony. We recessed to "Joy to the World". I can still hear us all singing the hymn together. Look at us! Just 25 years old back then! Hey...you guys already know we turned 40 this year...big year for us all around. |
Fun Stats for You:
- We met at a wedding of two friends on December 30, 1994- he was the best man and I was the maid of honor (hi Ken & Cherylin!)
- Dan asked me out for our first date on New Year's Eve 1994- which was also our first kiss (it was New Years after all)
- February 12, 1995 I meet Dan's parents formally when he tells them, "Mom/Dad- this is the woman I'm going to marry!"
- May 27, 1995- we get engaged. After five months of dating, living 6 hours apart.
- December 23, 1995- we have a lovely evening wedding just on the edge of Baltimore City in a little Episcopal Church. I wore my mother's wedding gown- right down to the veil and garter!
- December 24, 1995- we head to Blackwater Falls State Park in WV for a week long snowy honeymoon!

| Tradition states that whenever we pull an "Our First Year Together" ornament (and there are many...) while we decorate the tree, we kiss! The kids always take a picture of us together too. This ornament is one of our wedding favors. |
Dan I love you! One of the reasons I get to experience joy daily is because you are in my life!

You guys are adorable! Happy Anniversary!!
You guys are perfect for each other. Happy Anniversary!!!!! This was smart to get married so close to Christmas, now Dan cannot forget your anniversary. LOL!
Sweet sweet story! Didn't realize you had what is traditionally a "short" dating/engagement (Not that I think that's an issue, we were married in under a year of dating and had a 2 (?) month engagement.
So sweet! But when did they start letting babies get married? You all are adorable but unbelievably young in that picture.

Thanks everyone!
Alice you are not the first person to tell me that we look really young there.

Happy Anniversary! My husband and I will be together this for our 10th year anniversary....Our first kiss was also on the night we met...New Years Eve! We were married just 6 months later!!!! June 2, 2001. Having your first kiss on New Years eve...makes that a special holiday always!
I loved reading you and Dan's story, Heather! I bet his parents were surprised. Happy Anniversary!
