5 Year Anniversary Today!

I copied this questionnaire from LA. I hope you don't mind, but I really liked the questions :)


1. Where/how did you meet: We met my junior year at Christendom College. L.ouis came for a visit. 2. How long have you known each other: Since March 2002. 3. How long after you met did you start dating: L.ouis says we met while he was in the seminary, but I don't even remember seeing him there so I say we only met briefly the first time at my college then he transferred to the same college so we started dating three weeks after he started school with me. How long did you date before you were engaged: 9 months 5. How long was your engagement: 11 months 6. How long have you been married: 5 years 7. What is your anniversary: June 26 8. How many people came to your wedding reception: about 300 people? 9. What kind of cake did you serve: I remember it being a butter cram frosting with almond and liqueur center. 10. Where was your wedding: St. Benedict Catholic Church, Richmond, VA 11. What did you serve for your meal: Some sort of chicken with a pesto pasta and a really good salad. It really is a blur. I remember not being able to eat all my dinner because my strapless bra/corset was VERY tight. 12. How many people were there in your bridal party: 5 13. Are you still friends with them all: yes 14. Did you or your spouse cry during the ceremony: No 15. Most special moment of your wedding day: It really is all just a blur... I guess when my dad and I were standing outside the Church a few moments alone before the wedding. That meant a lot to me. Also, my twin sister giving me our secret signal during the Mass so I would turn around and look at her. She just about made me cry. 16. Any funny moments: After the reception my grandma and grandpa followed behind our car honking their horn all the way to the highway.17. Any big disasters: The dishwasher broke during the reception so the dinner took forever in between courses so that dishes could be re-washed and used again. Also, when I went in for my dress fitting the sleeves of my dress busted a whole when I lifted my arm and they had to make whole new sleeves. UGH! .18. Where did you go on your honeymoon: We went to the Ashville, NC to the Biltmore Inn for a week. 20. If you were to do your wedding over, what would you change: I would hire a wedding coordinator so that my mom and I would not have argued so much and the wedding day would have been much less stressful. Also, I would have waited for my sister to be with me before I picked out my dress. I really regret no having her there. 21. What side of the bed do you sleep on: usually the side farthest from the door. 22. What size is your bed: King 23. Greatest strength as a couple: The Catholic Faith. 24. Greatest challenge as a couple: dealing with IF for five years. 25. Who literally pays the bills: We are always switching that back and forth. 26. What is your song: Return to me by Dean Martin 27. What did you dance your first dance to: Return to me by Dean Martin 28. Describe your wedding dress: It was a Romona Keveza wedding gown. Two pieces, off the shoulders with long sleeves. Very simple with no lace or beads. I also had a cathedral length wedding veil and a shorter one made for the reception 29. What kind of flowers did you have at your wedding: I have know idea...I am horrible with flower names but I remember absolutely loving my bouquet ( I am pretty sure they were all white and cream flowers) . 30. Are your wedding bands engraved? No. Because I am a very indecisive person who couldn't make up my mind what to engrave on them.
This was a fun quiz. I wish I had more pictures to share but I still don't have a wedding album :(
