Once Upon A Time


Once upon a time there was a very hot 17 year old boy. He was the football stud at his high school and wore a mullet like no other!

Just 15 minutes away there lived a young, naive, sweet girl. A girl that was going to high school and beauty school at the same time so she could help pay for college, her dream was to become a physical therapist for handicapped children.

This boy and this girl met and started dating just days after her 16th birthday. It was the first serious boyfriend she had ever had and she was the most meaningful and treasured girlfriend he had had by far! After a few months they were in love and were together every possible moment and stayed as close to one another as her incredibly stiff hair-sprayed perm with side wings would allow.

Although they went to rival high schools, were forced to fight off the many temptations of others and experienced the devastation of hair coloring 101 gone wrong they remained a strong couple. Strong enough that the ever so weighted commitment of taking the "Couple Picture" was made. He, the seasoned almost 19 year old and her, the beauty school hair color guinea pig Senior, posed for their picture. Neither one was a pot head, although this picture leads one to believe differently!

Over the next five years this boy and girl's love grew. She wore a "pre-engagement" ring on her left finger, a gift for her 17th birthday, and was mocked and told it would never last by many. This engagement picture was proudly printed in the local small town newspaper to show everyone just how wrong they had been!

On September 5, 1992, six years and two weeks after their first date they were married!

The boy, now a man survived an accident that almost left him without the use of his legs just 6 months prior. The girl, now a young woman stood faithfully and supportively by his side.


Their wedding was the party of the year! Never one to be told what to do this man danced on top of his new Mother-in-Laws table. An in your face, brave and very dangerous move!

Before he was allowed to remove the garter from his Brides leg he first had to identify her in a leg feeling line-up while blindfolded. Imagine his surprise when he came upon the very hairy leg of his Best Man!


The Bride was left feeling a bit left out, this was after all HER day! Quickly a lineup was made just for her. But the leg would be repetitive and not nearly as fun. What could she feel? One of mans best assets is in fact his ass so a line up was assembled, and the ass feeling commenced. Imagine the Grooms surprise once again when his new Bride chose the ass of his old roommate!

Now that the happy couple had found one another {almost} he "dove" under his Brides dress to retrieve the garter. After a short struggle he came out victorious...


...with her panties in between his teeth.


Now this Man and Woman packed their belongings and moved across the country to sunny Florida to start their life together. They bought two dogs and settled in. However, this woman still had not learned that Texas hair belonged in Texas and had apparently missed the many phone calls from Burt requesting his eyebrows back.

2 short years later the happy couple welcomed their first child into the world. This brown eyes beauty was nothing less than perfection.

And 5 1/2 later daughter number two completed their family! This little bundle of energy was the perfect addition and once again perfection was created.

Now that girl that became a young woman then a Bride and finally a Mother is the happiest she has ever been. She is blessed beyond measure, has a family that moved to be near her children and has friends that are irreplaceable. And today she celebrates her 17th Wedding Anniversary with the Love of Her life!


And they will live Happily Ever After!


Happy Anniversary Babe, I love you!
