I sat in a warm apartment having my hair done by Superman's very accommodating cousin, looking out a huge sliding glass door at one of the best views in the city. I was calm and happy. All the night-before worries and last-minute stresses had dissolved into my tears when I went to bed. This is what it had all come to -- not just six months of planning and anticipating, but more than 20 years of dreaming about and praying for the man I would marry. It wasn't a perfect day by any means, at least not technically so. Flowers were forgotten, pastries were pillaged. But the glow of love from family and friends created its own brand of perfection. And, of course, the perfectly wonderful man that danced with me four years ago tonight.
Four years ago right now

And I got to walk you down the aisle. What a blessing, my lovely daughter.
Okay, I know my memory is bad. Where was that picture taken? It looks like the BSU campus, but that can't be. And I just remembered that you were born in an election year, got married in an election year, and you had your first baby in an election year. Oh, and tell Superman I get a kick out of his sports column.
Happy Anniversary (a couple days late)!! Marriage really is bliss.
Congrats!!! ......and then there were three.
Congrats and Happy Anniversary! Hope it was a good one, lots of romance ;)
