2015 - 365 Project. Day 245, September 2





365 Project. Day 245, September 2: 21 years ago, right this minute, we were dancing the night away after our Friday-night-before-Labor-Day wedding! This is a picture of a picture from our album, so, not the best quality, but not exactly cheating on my photo-a-day project, either...

We included Becky, who was five, in the ceremony, making her an important part of our new family. In this pic, you can see the necklace we gave to her. It is three interlocking rings we had made specially for her.Brian brought her up during our vows and presented it to her. They had practiced him asking her if she wanted to be a new family with us, to which she was supposed to answer, "I do." In the ceremony, though, he changed his wording accidentally, so what he asked was, "Would you like to be a special part of this new family?" You could see her little brain whirring to give an answer that was grammatically correct, and then she finally took a deep breath and stuck to the rehearsal plan: "I DO!"

The wedding was lovely, my dad was delighted to find that I came in under budget, and for our first dance, Brian and I did a choreographed dance to Sinatra's "I've Got The World On A String." WAY before that was a "thing" that everyone does at their weddings now.
