I was once a bride like you!

Five years ago today, I was a bride, marrying my best buddy, Chris at the Lakes Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.

A few funny things about my day.....I got married in a puddle of water about 3 inches deep in a tent while the rain poured down outside; I was the only one who got wet and the water from the puddle kept crawling up the underlayers of my dress; we walked down the aisle to Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"; I found my brother in the valet closet during the reception watching UK-Cincy on a 6 inch tv; someone brought a feather boa; as much as I love college basketball I packed my NCAA bracket in the bag with my dress...what a day!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from my wedding day...







Happy Anniversary, Chris! Here's to always celebrating our anniversary watching the NCAA tournament. I wouldn't want it any other way!!!
