Vow Renewal

John and I didn't have a wedding when we got married and it drives Emmy nuts. Because this was our 15th anniversary and she wanted to plan it, we renewed our vows this year. It was lovely. We had a food truck and a photo booth and lots of friends to celebrate. My Facebook post for the event really sums up my thoughts better than I could say any other way:

Fifteen years ago I married this guy at the Mall of Memphis on a Wednesday.  Partially because it was his day off work; partially because I was afraid if we waited to plan a wedding, he might change his mind. Tonight we renewed those vows in our home, with our friends and the best coordinator ever, Emmy Ruth. He has loved me when I didn't deserve it and sacrificed some of his dreams so that I could achieve mine, both personally and professionally. In 15 years, we have buried all four of our parents and had one amazing kid. I'm so glad I have him with me on this ride.

I surely do love this man. I am so lucky to have this life.

Once Audrey arrived, she was the guest of honor.

What would I do without the best planners ever?
