we had a wedding

Saturday was  our anniversary. There is some dispute about how many years we have been married, but it’s generally acknowledged to be five or six. We don’t usually do much for it, with three kids and no baby-sitters, but we did have a wedding, thanks to our creative daughters.

Tacy was bridesmaid, Dakota was the flower girl, and Rowan was… well, Rowan. I got into my wedding dress, sort of, and the big girls wore their dresses from my brother’s wedding last summer. Rowan was wearing something, I don’t remember. Jeremy stood by the back door (dressed appropriately in the hoodie he bought on our honeymoon, since we didn’t have a tux) and the girls took turns walking down the hall toward him. Dakota was very solemn. Tacy was smiley. Rowan was excited to be doing something with her big sisters. After I proceeded down the aisle, Jeremy and I joined hands and spun in a circle, the accepted method of marriage in our household. Then all the girls got to hold hands and spin, taking turns getting married.

I don’t have any pictures, on purpose. My dress only zipped halfway up the back, and therefore gapped at the bust. I’ll let you picture that for yourself.
