Marriage, Diapers and other Wonders

Not the best picture taken at our wedding. Not sure why we weren't smiling?

1. Where/How did you meet? Probably in 2000, but I’d heard of Jeremy before then. Jeremy says we met on Melanie’s couch. Doesn’t that sound nice?

2. How long have you known each other? See previous question.

3. How long after you met did you start dating? About 3 years

4. How long did you date before you were engaged? 7 months.

5. How long was your engagement? 7 ½ months. Would have been shorter, but I wanted an outdoor wedding.

6. How long have you been married? Next month it will be 3 years.

7. What is your anniversary? April 17.

8. How many people came to your wedding reception? Around 225

9. What kind of cake did you serve? White with raspberry filling. Our cake was perfect. We also had several sheet cakes. At least one of them was carrot.

10. Where was your wedding? Dance Pavilion in Mont Alto State Park, Chambersburg, PA.

11. What did you serve for your meal? I can’t remember it all, but I think we had 2 meats, 3 sides, rolls and punch –all for $7.40 a plate. I don’t remember eating much of it, but I do remember hearing that the food was very good.

12. How many people were in your bridal party? 8. Three bridesmaids and three groomsmen, and 2 flower girls

13. Are you still friends with them all? Yes!

14. Did your spouse cry during the ceremony? He doesn’t think so.

15. Most special moment of your wedding day? Driving away from the wedding with my husband. We made it!

16. Any funny moments? My Dad asked Jeremy if he was free from all other engagements -twice. I guess he just wanted to make sure :)

17. Any big disasters? No. There was a moment though when I was upset about something (minor –it was nerves and emotions). I still remember my dad and Jeremy both standing there looking at me not sure what to do with me. I don’t think either wanted to claim me at that moment. “She’s yours, no son, she’s yours now!”

18. Where did you go on your honeymoon? Gatlinburg, TN.

19. How long were you gone? 7 days. Wished we could have stayed another week

20. If you were to do your wedding over, what would you change? I don’t think I’d change anything other than the photographer.

21. What side of the bed do you sleep on? The right.

22. What size is your bed? Double. Someday we’d really like to upgrade. Especially when I’m pregnant!

23. Greatest strength as a couple? We were raised a lot alike and agree on the big issues.

24. Greatest challenge as a couple? Learning to speak the other’s love language, not just our own.

25. Who literally pays the bills? I usually do most of them, but Jeremy does take care of the mortgage.

26. What is your song? I guess we don’t really have a song, but we do enjoy listening to music together.

27. What did you dance your first dance to? Did not dance. That WOULD have been a disaster!

28. Describe your wedding dress: Simple, white, not much of a train. My favourite part were the sleeves that were just a little longer than the dress. I loved my dress, but it was lower that I would have liked. How in the world do you know what a dress will look like on you when you try on a size 12 and order a 4??!!

29. What kind of flowers did you have at your wedding? The bridesmaids carried baby’s breath. I carried roses and baby’s breath.

30. Are your wedding bands engraved? What do they say? Nope. Nothing.
