Sixteen years ago Craig and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. This was such a wonderful day. It is also a special day in that we had Britton sealed to us at the same time. I had waited so long to go to the temple and to be able to be sealed to both Craig and Britton the same day was really special. This day is always extra special to us.
Great Grandma Jolley bought a little white tuxedo for Britton to be sealed to us in. Craig's Great Uncle Joel Jolley was the sealer and then after we had been sealed they brought Britton in. He screamed the entire time, true to form. He was ten weeks old. Here he is with my mom, Grandma Benson, still screaming!
Britton and me outside the SLC Temple taking photos. I think he had finally cried himself to sleep!
We had our wedding dinner at "The Inn at Temple Square". Here I am looking thru the window and Craig's dad snapped this photo of me. It's one of my favorites as it reminds me of how happy I was that day!
Enjoying a moment together during the dinner. We then left to go to the Little America for our honeymoon and then headed down to Farmington NM for our reception there.
I'm so glad that we found each other! Our story of how we met is like no other. I'll save that for another post! Craig is like no other! Today, I woke up to roses and a funny (okay, inappropriate card!) then we went to dinner at Jak's and he had a gift certificate for a facial and then took me down to costco to pick out a piece of jewelry. I know, that is not terribly romantic (the costco part) but at least I picked out what I wanted. I avoided the $158,000.00 4 ct. emerald cut and went with a simple pearl ring. He jokingly told me that instead of a huge diamond, he bough a dental chair for me! Ha Ha!
Really, Craig is the real Diamond!!

It's amazing to me how those styles seemed so beautiful back then and now give me such a good laugh!

Can't believe it's been 16 yrs. Our family is lucky to have you. And Britton, I love that little guy, although he's not so little now! Seems like yesterday he was up screaming all night, oh wait that was my baby, brings back memories of years ago!
Love the post, now I want to hear you and Craig's story.
