Eleven years
The Christmas cards came out so well the other day, I decided to scan my favorite wedding picture. This is Doc and I eleven years ago. We held our garden wedding on the first Saturday of the fall season, picking the date based on the Farmer’s Almanac online. The advice did us good - we couldn’t have asked for a more lovely day.
I look at this picture now and I wonder what I’m saying to my husband. I’d like to remember, I’m curious. And yet… I like the mystery of not knowing. Just like we can’t go back to being young newlyweds.
I love the distance between us and our photographer. I like it that I’m touching his lapel. Today that hillside is dotted with houses. The scenery is gone, but we remain.

What a beautiful picture Monica! I love the setting too! It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie! *sniffles*
Truly a loving moment captured! It doesn’t matter you don’t remember because anyone can feel the love being shared.
*Hugs*
Happy 11th Anniversary!

Oh, and I think it’s fun that you don’t remember. You can make it up. And it can change since you don’t remember

Yes, we were married under the arbor in my brother-in-law’s backyard/field. We had the white tent and everything.
