Curtis and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary yesterday. I can hardly believe that it has been that long. I remember my wedding day as though it was yesterday. I wanted the perfect princess wedding and that is what I got. We got married and the Ballroom at John Ascuagas Nugget in Sparks Nevada. We pretty much celebrated a wedding week! It was truly an amazing day follies and all. Because I was having a Formal Wedding I insisted that my grandfather wear a Tuxedo this was the only time in his life that he ever wore one Wow he was handsome that made the day very special! My dad wore a Tuxedo as well but being Dad he had to add his own little twist in the form of a TAZ bow tie!! What can I say he was cute. My cake top consisted of two dolphins (knowing me would you expect anything else) I also had to have a princess Veil it extended about 10 feet past the train on my dress the funny part was that it was detachable and so we didn't want to put it on until I was ready to walk down the aisle. So here I am waiting to walk down the aisle all my bridesmaids already entered and were patiently awaiting my arrival. The wedding march starts and I freak!!! We forgot to attach my veil!! There was no way I was getting married without it since I had it specially made. It was just Dad and I and there was no way he could figure out how to attach it. All of a sudden My grandfather exits the Ball room ( by this time Groom, groomsmen Bridesmaids all are waiting at the alter the wedding march is playing people are standing in NO BRIDE!!) grandpa comes to me and asks if I am having second thoughts he told me "Don't Worry Baby I will call the whole thing off and we Will just have a Party" Gotta love gramps I assured him that I wanted to get married but not without my veil. He runs back into the ballroom and fetches my mother.Veil is attached and I am ready to rock and roll. I can only imagine the thoughts that went through Curts head at that moment Friends of ours even mouthed the words to him "Maybe she left you" Besides me dropping his ring ( He bent down and picked it up at which time my crazy Uncle Verl yells "that a girl Nancy teach him early") The rest of the wedding went off without a hitch!! My Family is CRAZY they all love a Party where as Curts Fathers side is very prim and proper I am not quite sure what they thought! We danced all night long!! It was My perfect Wedding!!! Who would of thought that 13 years later we would be where we are now!! I can't wait to see what the next 13 years may bring.
