Happy 10th Anniversary!

1998



We made it to 10! Can you believe this guy has put up with a "Wright Chic" for what must seem like an eternity to him. But isn't that what we signed up for- eternity?!
Of course, after 10 years we're just us getting our feet wet. I love to watch seasoned couples who are going on 35 + years (ie: my in-laws) and I admire so much of what they have become. I see the patience, acceptance, and never-ending commitment these couples share with one another and hope to have that myself one day. Carole reminds me often that "marriage is for refinement" and isn't that the truth!
So thank you Brett for all your unconditional love and patience with me. I feel so blessed with you in my life and I thank you for being such a fabulous father and provider, a kind and giving husband, and just a good man all around! Looking forward to many more years of whatever life brings us! I know I can conquer all with you beside me... even pregnancy :) Fellow bloggers- more to come on that subject !!!

Congrats! Tony and I just hit our 9th anniversary and its crazy. Ever crazier when I realize we started dating 13 1/2 years ago. I guess we are getting old!

Thanks great Nic, congrats! Isn't is sad we have to get so excited to "make it another year"? So i know I'm reading into it, but was that an announcement for #4??? Hum, I'll have to wait :)

Nic, I remember your wedding like it was yesterday. You and Bret are so great together. I liked you from the moment we first met. I knew Bret chose well(you were definitely the best one he had dated)! A huge congrats on making it to ten, and on the other great news!! We feel so blessed to have you both as friends.

Congrats! How wonderful if you can make it to 10 you can make it to the end right? You guys are such a good-lookin' couple. I guess that is why your kids are so stinkin' cute! Can't wait to find out what #4 is going to be :)

You updated your blog, you have made my day!! Congrats on ten years, love your pictures. It was so fun seeing you guys last weekend.

Nicole said...

Congrats on 10 years! You guys both look great... even if Brett does have a little less hair :) (I'm allowed to tease my big bro a little.) And congrats on your next big announcement... just got the memo the other day!

Come on, Nic. Give us the skinny on the baby??? You only update your blog every 2 months, so you've got to hustle on this one.

I am so happy for your and Brett at the 10 yr. mark. It is a huge accomplishment. BTW, I just found that 1998 wedding picture in my photos the other day. You were so pretty then, but somehow, you're even prettier now!

All my love,
Brand

Congrats on 10 years, we're right behind you (at 8 1/2 years). You don't look like you've aged a day in 10 years. You lucky girl! Congrats on the other great news.

Katie said...

Great post. I love the pictures. You have not changed at all since the first photo. You look great. Happy Anniversary.

Dawn said...

So, are you out?? Is it official??
Congrats on 10 years, it doesn't really seem that long hu? You must be doin' something right!! Funny though, he's aged a bit, but you haven't!

Ten years and you still look flawless. You're amazing

I love the pictures, but even more I love the sentiments. You are both amazing and I love you.

I can't comment because i'm crying right now. And NO, i'm not being sarcastic. Maybe it's your sweet Alabama tunes, I'm not really sure. But I do know, it seems like yesterday that Brett was framing away with Vegas, just minutes before your wedding. He not only survived that, but he's still around. What a saint and what a beautiful couple you are. I agree with Carole, that marriage in really a refiner's fire. Or in my world, maybe just out of the frying pan and into the fire. Oh wait, that's our family. Anyhow, I love the newest picture of you and J. Brett. It really captures your comfort with one another, which I think is a great thing. Now can we just get a picture of those beautiful bridesmaid dresses from your wedding? We could all use a good laugh.
