Hello readers, want to guess what we’ll be doing today? Looking at wedding pictures! YAY!! Now before you snap your laptop shut, humor me–I’m only making you look at a few. I haven’t sat anyone down to go through our wedding albums in years. Or a year. Okay, maybe months. Anyway, the point is–5 years ago today G and D legally became G&D. That’s right–today is our 5 year wedding anniversary!
I can’t show you pictures or talk about our wedding without acknowledging some very special people who made the day happen. First, Heather Fenske–an amazing photographer in the Twin Cities who generously photographed our wedding as a gift to us. All these pictures are courtesy of her, and I should also add–these photos are scans of our proofs and have been copied repeatedly so the quality of these pictures is not a reflection on our photographer. Our original photos are crisp and clear and beautiful! And I cannot think about our wedding without thinking of G’s parents Steve and Pam, who made the day happen. Their love, support, and generosity on this day, and through the years, never ceases to amaze me. And of course, thanks to all our friends and family who celebrated with us!
Okay, picture time! Here are some pre-ceremony pics–getting my hair done at the salon and my youngest sister Amanda zipping up my dress.

G’s handsome groomsmen! From left to right, his friends Jon, Chad, Tracy, Eric, Travis, Jim, and my baby brother, Brodie.
We hired Frogman Productions to video tape our wedding and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Our wedding video turned out so amazing. But don’t worry! I won’t make you watch the entire thing (I’m saving that for our 10 year anniversary post). But I will show you a short clip of our pre-ceremony highlights–CLICK HERE and enjoy!

We’ll skip ceremony pictures, but here we are walking down the aisle as Mr & Mrs, and another shot outside the American Club.

See–that wasn’t so bad now, was it? Thanks for taking this little walk down memory lane with us! We have some very exciting plans in place for celebrating our anniversary this year–I look forward to telling you all about it (well, maybe not all) when we return!

Hey Dusty….Frogman here. What a blast from the past that was…well at least 5 years past. I am so surprised that video is still on my site. I replaced it in the gallery a few years back but never removed it from the site…guess it was a good thing. I won’t delete it now.
Great to see you are still enjoying your video. You were one of the brides that helped “launch” Frogman Productions into the big time. I will send you an email with what we have been up to.
