Happily Ever After

We met in the fall of 1998.

It was love at first sight. We just knew.

We were engaged to be married within 3 months! We married on the 1 year anniversary of our first date (we went to dinner and a movie.)

It’s been 8 years today since that first date. 7 years today and 3 beautiful sons, since we both said

I Do.




And we still do…

Honor and love, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, we still prefer each other before ourselves, as long as we both shall live.

Happily Ever After.

Happy Anniversary, Stephanie & Jeff!

You both are lucky to have each other.
And your children are so lucky to have the two of you.

It's so great to know that Gray's 1st birthday is so close with your wedding anniversary :).

Love you guys,
Adwina

OK, let's see if I can actually put together two coherent sentences (notice deleted comment above LOL).

Happy Anniversary! I also "just knew" about my husband after our first date. I was so confident that I told my best friend. And I was right. :o)

Congratulations on 7 years of marriage. May you have 70 more!

Happy Anniversary you two!!! How amazing that you both are still in love as much as those first days! (David and I "just knew" on our first date too!) 7 years, the love of your life and 3 amazing boys - sounds pretty awesome to me!

Did you ever read those Sweet Valley High books? I didn't either but I had a babysitter who did. I was just thinking that the first picture of you guys could totally be on a cover. :) I mean that as compliment!
Love you!
