12 years together

Steve and I have always wanted to renew our vows from the day we got married. There was just so much drama and ridiculousness the day of our wedding. So it just so happened that this year worked out to be a perfect year for it. I began planning a few months ahead of time because I love parties and perfecting every little detail. I had always said that my biggest regret was not hiring a photographer for our original day. We have some pictures of our wedding but not many. So first thing on my list was hire a professional. Check. Then I had to decide on a theme. Since it was November and I love decorating for fall I ended up going with a fallish theme. I didn't want anything too formal but knew I wanted to wear something pretty and white. I dressed the girls in matching denim dresses and Steve in a great navy blue with small dots shirt, jeans, and boots. My dress ended up being white almost lacy with daisy overlay. Which was perfect considering my wedding dress had tiny daisies all over it. We cooked a brisket, I made pasta salad, and we ordered a cake from Texas Star, of course. We decided to write our own vows and read them to one another after my brother stood up and said a few words. We each got a new ring which was made special by the fact that our Emma delivered them to us. It was so low key and drama free. We had such a wonderful day and shared it only with the nearest and dearest.
