Our Wedding

In the beginning we were there for each other through some dark periods in both of our lives. Each dealing with life's struggles differently and in time, realizing that we made a great team. Together we could talk about anything, and we did. From places, people, television and movies, to self reflecting , philosophy and dinosaurs. All of the good, the bad, and the ugly we have talked it through. Something that connected us through it all, was our style and sense of humor and being able to laugh at things without them having to make sense to anyone else. We found peace in knowing that we understood one another. Through communication, compromising, and growing together as people and being in support of one another through life and all of its ups and downs. The best part along the way was finding out that we were each other’s best friends.
