A Decade Ago in Short Conversations

“Shawn, what the hell are you thinking? It’s 2 in the afternoon. Emily is still getting her hair done. Are you going to pace around in your tux for three hours before we go? Idiot.”

****************************************************************************************************

“If you don’t shave that goatee off for today all of the guys are going to hold you down and we’ll shave it off for you.”

****************************************************************************************************

“Hey Denise, can you do me a favour and go to my car and get my Star Wars Soundtrack cd and give it to the DJ?”

****************************************************************************************************

“Hey Shannon, can you do me a favour and help arrange a table for the eight extra family members who just showed up after traveling across the entire country to be here today but who also didn’t RSVP?”

*****************************************************************************************************

“I do.”

“I do.”

******************************************************************************************************

“What the hell?? I thought you said we weren’t going to do the cake-in-the-face thing.”

*******************************************************************************************************

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day….”

*******************************************************************************************************

“I don’t want to leave yet. Let’s pay the limo driver to stick around for another hour.”

 

And so we did.

"You're wearing THAT?...Okay, next time don't say a word about my red sweat pants. In fact, where are they? I think I'll put them on right now."

I got something along the lines of this...

Jenny Grace said...

Happy anniversary.

Jill said...

Happy Anniversary. Hard to believe you've rockin' the goatee for 10 years. When you commit to something you really commit, don't you?

Mandy said...

Hey--today is my 10th anniversary, too! It was good day to get married, wasn't it?

Congrats!

Mr. Topp said...

That was ten years ago? Holy carp. And I was already feeling old today.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary! Goes by pretty damn fast, doesn't it?

Helen + ilana = Hi said...

Congrats. We were the last to leave our wedding and plan to be the last to leave our marriage too!

kittenpie said...

congratulations - it's nice, the ten year mark, isn't it?

Mr Lady said...

Epic, Mr Dad. Happy anniversary. And HA! I've totally been married longer than you! Again, I am superior. (I also had a little bastard baby. Bygones.)

Anonymous said...

Happy Anniversary!!

I'm totally even better than Mr. Lady. I have been married longer than both of you and not only did I have a bastard child but I was knocked up with the next one.

Oh ya. Class at it's finest.

So. When are you going to post a pic of you without the goatee, Tight Pants Shawn?

Missy said...

Bianka said...

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Meg said...

Happy Anniversary man! I almost felt like I was there :)

I would LOVE to see what you look like without the goatee. I can't believe you've had it so long!

Michelle said...

Happy Anniversary!

Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heels said...

Happy Anniversary!

I don't see what the big deal about the goatee was. But please tell me you didn't really play the Star Wars soundtrack at your wedding.

Christina said...

Happy Anniversary. And good to know we weren't the only ones who used music from Star Wars. Actually, when the bridal party was announced at the reception, we used the Throne Room song as the entrance music. It was awesome.

Rhea said...

Great quotes from an obviously special day.

Star Wars soundtrack? really? love it.

Amy Urquhart said...

Aw, happy anniversary, you two!

James (SeattleDad) said...

Happy Anniversary. My 10th is this year too. Time flies...

Happy anniversary to you! Hope you had a wonderful, romantic, and maybe even just the two of you(?) celebration.

Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommy said...

Happy Anniversary!

At least you didn't hear the words "dig the ditches to run the water off" multiple times the day of your outdoor wedding like I did.

I'm not still bitter or anything...
