Okay, so this post is probably one of those which is quite indulgent (thank you, Simon) and interesting only to me, but I don't care.
And then, despite the fact that you don't actually like to dance, we've been dancing and laughing, and arguing and loving and hanging out together ever since.

And...the weddin'. June 2, 1990. Even then, I couldn't keep from crying. For I am a sap.
But really, I was happy.

I wonder (ahem) if we could do that now?
So there's a little more of us to love.

I snort laughed at the hay allergy. Oh, priceless pictures, friend. A VERY HAPPY Anniversary and I hope you get the honkin' diamond.
For I am shallow and encouraging that way.
Indulgent or not, I certainly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your pictures, Gretchen.
My favorite part was when you said you'll be honored to be known as dougandgretchen. I love it when a couple becomes a run-on word like that. So sweet.
Happy Anniversary, sweet friend.
Such a great post, Happy Anniversary sweetie. I love you my friend.

Your wedding sleeve was bigger than your whole head!! ;) Sadly, mine was too and I was married 8 years later!!
What a beautiful couple, beautiful words...hope your day is fabo!
The last comment made me laugh out loud--I think I could borrow this and tell Pace. Because isn't there a secret rule that your 12th anniversary needs to involve big diamonds? Or something like that.
Happy anniversary--I love seeing couples that've been together since high school, still together and happy!

Cute, cute, cute. Thanks for sharing your love(ly) story. I think we can all relate to that "a little more to love" thing :)
Happy Anniversary, Gretchen. I loved seeing all these photos from the past right up to now. The dress you wore to his prom took my breath away (gorgeous) and the look in his eyes in your wedding photo made me laugh out loud.
