Since today is mine and my husband‘s 23rd wedding anniversary I wanted to share a few pictures from our wedding. And obviously, looking at these pictures from 23 years ago we didn’t take pictures like we do today. Maybe it’s because we didn’t have cameras at our disposal on our phones, but I had to laugh looking through all of our wedding pictures and could only find one picture of just our ceremony decorations in the church and it’s not even centered. Like whoever took it didn’t even try 😂😂. Might have been me, but I honestly cannot remember. 
We did have a beautiful wedding, although I forgot what our cake looked like until I looked at these pictures today. My husband and I built the wall that you see in the first picture, the one that’s not centered haha, but it’s the only picture I have of just the decorations. That is made out of Styrofoam and it still one of my favorite things. I have done it not only for our wedding but a couple more weddings and different parties that I have done. It is so easy to build and is so cool for pulling off looks where you want a stone wall without actually having a stone wall. This is the only part of our wedding that I did not do the floral decorations on. My husband‘s aunt is a florist and I had her do this part. She did such a beautiful job. I loved it so much and I didn’t have to worry about it.
Along with a couple of my friends, I did our reception at our churches family life center and my amazing Sister-in-law did my husband’s grooms cake and table. I did all of the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages and I am happy to say that 23 years later my skills have improved 😂.
I was two days away from turning 25 years old, had already been married one time and was a nervous wreck going into this wedding. I was too young to be married the first time, obviously it didn’t work out and here I was not only getting married again, but marrying a man who had two daughters. I had no clue what I was doing. But thankfully, it all worked out and here we are 23 years later with a beautiful life, a beautiful family, and I wouldn’t trade any moment of it.
