This post is in honor of my upcoming 5th wedding anniversary. We were married on Saturday, June 2, 2007 and the best way I can describe our relationship is through song...
I wish I could figure out how to get these links to actually work, but I'm not that techie. :P If you actually need to hear the song, just copy/paste into YouTube and it should play. :)
Enjoy!
September 2003-May 2005 "Friends". Even though we attended the same church since 1995, because of the 4 year age difference we really didn't get to know each other until my freshman year of college. Jeremy joined the leadership team for our youth ministry, which I was already a fixture of, and we started hanging out with the same group of friends...

June-August 2005 “I Won’t Say...”. I liked him. My family knew I liked him. My friends all knew I liked him. The first time I heard this song I had to laugh because it sounded so much like my conversations with Jodi, Stephanie, and Rachell!

September-December 2005 “First Kiss”. This song pretty much sums up our first few months together. It constantly amazes me how God worked out things in both of our lives to bring us together and knit our hearts and souls into one.

January-June 2006 “When You Say You Love Me”. Jeremy once wrote out the lyrics of this song for me. I think of it as "Our Song for 2006".

July 2006-May 2007 Engaged! Jeremy asked Tuesday, July 18th, by the river in Wildwood Park (Bridgewater) after I followed a trail of roses. We celebrated with our families at Bravos afterwards. I can't say I immediately jumped into planning the wedding--I had already been planning it since January!
