I've seen this on a few blogs and I thought this was a neat thing for history sake. I don't know if I have ever really recorded these things and felt it important to do it. I love my husband so much and am so grateful for the things we have been through together, he is my best friend, he makes me happy and I am so grateful to have him for eternity!
If you are interested copy and paste this into a new note. Replace with your answers (obviously).
1. HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?
Aaron and I met at a dance. We were both dating other people. I thought he was really cute and we did talk for a bit but that was all. His dad takes all the credit for us getting together because he introduced us while playing volleyball at the stake center in Chico. I finally introduced myself to him because he was just too shy (he says intimidated).
2. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST DATE?
October Conference at the Ward building in Oroville. First kiss was out at the ranch in Bangor at my sister, Kathryn's homecoming.
3. HOW LONG DID YOU DATE BEFORE YOU GOT ENGAGED?
2 1/2 months - I knew right away he was a keeper!
4. HOW DID YOUR FIANCE PROPOSE?
He gave me a bell for Christmas that had the ring hanging from the clacker. With the bell was a note that said, "shake this bell for the ring of your life". He then kneeled down and asked me to marry him. I didn't catch on and just started ringing the bell and tried to act really excited about it (but wasn't until I realized what was really happening).
5. WHAT JOBS DID YOU TWO HAVE WHILE YOU WERE ENGAGED?
Aaron was working at Winco as a cashier in Chico and I was teaching 3rd grade in Yuba City and coaching basketball at Gridley High.

Five(long) months.

May 30, 1998... time has gone by so fast.
9. WHAT WERE YOUR COLORS?
Lavendar and yellow
10. HOW MANY BRIDESMAIDS DID YOU HAVE?
eight bridemaids and as many groom's men as well.
11. WHO WAS YOUR MAID OF HONOR?
I don't think I had one! Oh! Maybe Terri cuz she stood out so much. She was 8 months pregnant. (She got me back though, she asked me to be her maid of honor when I was 9 months pregnant with Elizabeth).
12. WHERE WAS THE CEREMONY?
The Oakland Temple
13. DID YOU HAVE A DJ OR BAND?
Good ol' John Mohr! Gotta love him!
14. DID YOU HAVE A SONG YOU DANCED TO AND WHAT WAS IT?
I don't remember! I do remember singing "Tea for Two" with him on one of our first dates and thinking, "Wow, he has a nice voice".
15. DID ANYTHING GO WRONG AT THE WEDDING OR RECEPTION?
No! It was so perfect! Aaron didn't like that an ex-boyfriend caught, or should I say fought, for the garter.
16. WHAT CAR DID YOU LEAVE IN AND WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE?
Aaron's white ford taurus
17. WHERE DID YOU GO FOR YOUR HONEYMOON?
To Shingle Springs on the coast and then to Mexico a few months later when school was out.
18. WHAT WAS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT?
Sitting across the alter of the temple looking at Aaron and knowing he is my eternal companion.

You can always change something for the better, but it's always better to look forward and try to better with what's to come.
