6 Years.

May 27th is my anniversary.

Six whole years of marriage!

So, I am sorry, but I have to do this one mushy post :)

I haven't introduced you to my hubby yet, but his name is Neal

(or "chippy" to some). He was my first and only boyfriend.

Of course I think he is the best :)

We got married outside in a park and prayed it didn't rain (it didn't)!

DIY weddings are super popular right now and there are

TONS of cool ideas. When I was wedding planning,

we did everything DIY because we were broke, haha.

Now I drool over all the awesome wedding ideas I find 

and wish I could go back and re-do it!

But, we were young and punk rock and we had a great

day which we got to celebrate with hundreds of our favorite people!

Here are some of my favorite photos 

(we could not afford a photographer so

some friends offered to take photos for us).

One of my closest friends/pastors walked me down the "aisle".

yay!

Oh yea, I wore a red and hot pink handmade dress.

My husband no longer looks like a vampire.

Ridiculously huge wedding party, I know.

My favorite photo of Chippy and his band buddies.

My "Maids of Honor" (sisters) looking siamese twin-ish.

The youngest groomsmen, AKA cutest little boy ever, Vinny.

Weddings are fun.

Marriage is hard.

Love is great.

6 years down, the rest of our lives to go.

Thanks to all of our family and friends who supported our

wedding and even more so our marriage.

P.S. Chippy, you are seriously the love of my life

and the best person in the whole world.
