Yes....33 years today! And yes..we were VERY young! Hey, though, we beat the odds and we're still married! And yes....it has not always been perfect...but whose marriage is?? Still love the man in spite of his love for BIG houseplants, BIG ugly fish in a fish aquarium, and lots of toys in his garage! Oh and did I mention the way he clears his throat in the morning?? On the flip side, how about the way he likes to cuddle, his nice brown hair (still brown naturally), his nice big hands to hold, his good work ethic, his perfectionalism, his genuine love for mankind, his kindness and love to me, the kids and grandkids...and on and on....
The day we were married I still remember vividly him pulling our 1974 Plymouth Duster over on the side of the freeway so I could throw up on the way to the Salt Lake Temple. Yes...I was sick on my wedding day! I threw up in a plastic bag in the car just before we got to the parking lot, and yes, in the temple, I threw up while I was in my wedding dress. So memorable...and we're still married 33 years later! It's a miracle Wayne didn't turn the car around and drop me off back at my parent's house that morning! He's put up with my incessant need for stitching stash, vacations with my sisters, whining about how HOT I am...and any other thing that irritates him. He's a gem and I'm so thankful for him in my life!
Here's to another 33!
Edited to add:
This is a picture of me and my bridesmaids...you might know the two on the far left....My sisters, Carolyn (Cari) from Florida, and Miss Smarty, (Joan) from here in Utah! Next is Wayne's sister, Sherrie, and all the others are friends from high school, Kay, Annette, Colleen, and Nedra.
PS...I'm a little challenged in the photo scanning department...sorry! You can click on the picture, I believe, and see it in a larger format. :)

Happy belated anniversary Cathy! Congratulations on making it to 33!!! :)
you know.....I was just thinking about this the other day....How are you going to get Wayne's HUGE tree out of the bedroom when you have to move? That might be a sad day at the Lloyd house....I'll bring the box of tissues.
Sweet Sister - it's been many years since I have seen such a DARLING Bride and her bride maids!! XOXOXO
