And many more....

Here is to 12 years of marriage and many more to come...

"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud, or provoked; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is pleased with the truth. Love never gives up; its faith, hope and patience never fail."

This was the text of our "thank you" cards and a verse used in our wedding ceremony held at the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas (photo, left)

at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN at 6pm in the evening on Friday, June 27, 1997.

After 5 years of dating, at ages 22 and 24 we felt more than ready to be a blushing bride and a handsome groom, supported by the friends and family of our wedding party.

We are fortunate that after more than a decade of marriage, we still feel like that bride and groom. I love you!
