Teresa and I recently\u00a0celebrated our 10-year Wedding Annversary. \u00a0But then again, that’s nothing new, for not only do we celebrate it every year, WE REDO IT EVERY YEAR!<\/p>\n
When we initially planned the wedding, we wanted to invite family and friends out to Sedona but life had a different plan. \u00a0It seemed every time we tried to set up or plan something, it wouldn’t work out or the energy wouldn’t feel right. \u00a0In the end, we realized we were supposed to do it by ourselves. \u00a0I wrote the ceremony, came up with Teresa’s dress design, and was the official wedding photographer using a tripod and a timer. \u00a0NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE!<\/p>\n
In Arizona, you only need five signatures to make a marriage legal: the bride, the groom, someone legally recognized by the state, and two witnesses. \u00a0We did the ceremony ourselves at sunset on our vacant property and toasted with some champagne as the stars came out. \u00a0We then visited the local magistrate’s house where we had pre-agreed to do the five signatures. \u00a0Unfortunately, only his wife was at home so we loaded up the magistrate and headed to the Rainbow’s End, a local bar where we had planned to celebrate with a band that night. \u00a0We grabbed two bouncers and, five signatures later, were legally married!<\/p>\n
The next day we headed off to the South Pacific on our honeymoon, which included Turtle Island in Fiji, Bora Bora in Tahiti, and Easter Island. \u00a0When we came home three weeks later, it was then that we had a big party with all our family and friends. \u00a0Since our May 2000 wedding, Teresa and I have gone back every year\u00a0to Sedona on our anniversary and redone our wedding!<\/p>\n
The story of Teresa and myself has unfolded with a story that is beyond a fairy tale. \u00a0I hope to share much of it in my book The Journey Never Ends,<\/em> which I’m still working on and will happen in its own time. \u00a0Our daughter Katie has been the only other person to witness our ceremony and it’s interesting that, as the fairy tale unfolded, we found out Teresa was pregnant with Katie the morning of our 3rd Anniversary! Initially, while redoing the ceremony, Teresa used to hold her, then, as she got older, would walk out with her. \u00a0Now Katie sits in a folding chair and takes pictures from afar. \u00a0She always asks, “Mommy, are you gonna cry again?”<\/em> We always do . . . and once you know the story . . . you will too!<\/p>\n Kermit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teresa and I recently\u00a0celebrated our 10-year Wedding Annversary. \u00a0But then again, that’s nothing new, for not only do we celebrate it every year, WE REDO IT EVERY YEAR!
