HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !

Today my husband and I have been married a dozen years!
We met at a flooring company about 16 years ago where I worked as a customer service rep.
My boss collected vintage Corvettes and my husband sold vintage Corvette parts. I used to see him come to deliver parts to my boss and we became acquainted over the years. What attracted me to him was his new bulldog puppy. I used to sit out on the grass to eat my lunch and he would stop to talk and one day he had his puppy with him. She melted my heart and so did he.

We were married at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino Wedding Chapel at 4PM. We had a breakfast for our 25 guests at the Rio Buffet the day before. My baby brother gave me away and after the ceremony we had a reception dinner in the casino and cake and drinks to toast the bride and groom in our suite.

My husband actually picked out my wedding dress and we did all of our invitations and decorations ourselves.

We honeymooned at Hoover Dam, The Grand Canyon, Laughlin where the great London Bridge is, Palm Springs for 4 days.

As with all couples, we have our ups and downs but all in all he is the sweetest most romantic man I have ever known. Our song was"Keeper of the Stars".

I love you my darlin' and look forward to many more years as your wife.
