Hi Marilyn, Thank you for your review and our wedding was different and makes a good story. I tried to add a picture of our outfits but it wouldnt take to my poem so I thought a description might be worth it. We did have a lovely dinner Thanks onward and upward gee 45 next year. Cheers Christine

Hi Dorothy, Thank you on both accounts fro you congrats and review, Ha Ha yes it is a true stroy I never was one for fancy wedding dresses etc and lived in jeans and windsheaters and dessert boots so I always said I would get married in them LOL My daughter Katie had the big wedding and lovely dress and 200 plus guests so she made up for it Ha Ha. I wanted to put a pic of us on this but I couldnt get my image to attach however maybe one day Iwill send a photo through. Cheers Christinex

First- Happy Anniversary Christine & Greg. This was so enjoyable to read and you managed a fantastic rhyme pattern. You covered the beauty of the years rather well. I really enjoyed your notations. Sometimes simple is the most beautiful and most memorable. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing a special day.
