As I am hungrily awaiting for the turkey to cook to its proper temperature, I have had a few hours to reminisce about our wedding day a mere 12 years ago.
The wedding took place at the St. Louis County Courthouse. We didn't think many people would get married the day before Thanksgiving, much less get married at the courthouse. We were wrong. We were couple #12 (out of about 24.) I know you would agree that it was a freak show. I remember having hives across my throat and chest and being nervous and scared. I remember the judge constantly banging his gavel and telling people to be quiet, but no one listened. I remember the ho who wore the tight red lace dress and the 5 inch FMPs. And I remember the tired looking couple with torn clothing carrying a baby. No one else was with them. I remember that it all happened so fast, and then it was over. We were married.
I often wonder if all of the other couples who got married with us are still married. I wonder if any of the other couples renewed their vows a few years later like we did. I wonder if they are as happy as we are. I wonder if the wives love their husbands as much as I love you. Our 12years of marriage have been quite an adventure. To say I would marry you all over again would be an understatement.
Here's to our next 12 years!

Your post already had me weeping, but then I read Dr H's comment and now I REALLY need a tissue (and yes the wine at lunch MIGHT be a factor, but more than than I think it's seeing how happy you look in each of those pictures, and reading your beautiful words).
Happy Anniversary! My god you two are good looking! Explains those cute cute kids.
You brave girl. I'm proud of you. And I'm not talking about the wedding/marriage stuff, although that's tres fabulous, too.
See you Saturday.
Very well done. Congrats and Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary and Thanksgiving to you!!!!
Lovely photos!
Happy belated anniversary and Thanksgiving!
Hope the turkey turned out alright for you...we had to go about an hour past the recommended time. For some reason, our bird wasn't coming to temperature. I think my dad was wrong about the weight.
That's so sweet.
Who THE HELL are those 2 people in the first picture tho???
Belated Happy Anniversary!
Great story Misfit Hausfrau. I agree with the earlier comment that it is always refreshing to hear stories of love and support from couples, when often there can be negativity. Marriage is a tough, rewarding partnership. It's good to know that your kids have such a great example.
Happy anniversary! You're a gorgeous family.
Happy belated Thanksgiving and happy anniversary! Thanks for sharing the photos. I loved them!
Happy belated anniversary! Congratulations!
(We have another month to go to get to 12 years but I think/hope we'll make it!!) ; )
Happy Anniversary! And could I squeeze those cutie patootie little munchkins?! Oh my goodness, how cute!!!!
12 years is such a great accomplishment -- especially since you're both so love still!
Thanks for posting the pictures. It's so great to put a face to the writing! You cuties, you.
