Today is our 11th wedding anniversary.

Want to see what we looked like that day? 

Keith was 24, I was 27. 

If I had to do over, I might not have worn such a traditional dress.  The deal is, it was free--my friend Kristin gave it to me, figuring, well, she'd never wear it again!  It turned out it wasn't really free--between having it altered and cleaned, it cost me several hundred dollars!  Still, I liked the idea of a recycled wedding dress.  People who know me know that I like nothing better than good vintage clothes!

It was a great day.  Despite all the stress, it all came together and pretty much went off without a hitch.  Everyone had a good time.

We had game pieces on the cake, made by Lee:

And also on the invitation, drawn by Andy:

They were originally stuffed Icehouse pieces that Andy and Kristin were selling around the time Keith and I started going out.  We were too shy to ask each other out directly--so we decided that our stuffed icehouse pieces, Indigo and Cobalt, would go on a date.  Andy later made them characters in Iceland.  Here, we try to explain the deal to our guests.

Looking at these photos, one thought keeps running through my head. . .

WE SURE HAD A LOT OF HAIR BACK THEN!!  Just look at it!  Geez!
