What's The Magic Number?

20 years, it's a milestone and an accomplishment. Not everyone can make it to 20. I'll have to give credit to my parents Bobbi and Charles, Scott's parents, Lee and Phyllis and Aunt Pauline and Uncle Wally as awesome examples of what a lasting marriage looks like. There have been ups and downs, good times and not so good times but we have made it to 20!

Let's take a closer look at that weekend 20 years ago. October 6 - 8, 1994.

A pre wedding activity included the Old Town Trolly to introduce our guests to San Diego. Scott and I had been here for  3 years now. Take the Trolly tour or play golf. Those were the activities. Don't go to TJ (Tijauana, Mexico) Whoa to those who didn't follow instructions. Brett, you know who I am talking to. I'm sure Mexican jails have not changed much...

The rehearsal dinner was at the Pocher/MacNaughton favorite hotel, Quality Suites at the end of Mira Mesa Blvd.

The Santa Ana winds were a blown' and the temperature hit triple digits for the ceremony at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

Paula was the Maid of Honer and Sean was the best man.

We were represented by both sides of the family.

A pool party followed at the home of friend and fellow teacher Nancy Adams.

Scott sang Karaoke and we all danced. The only bad part was the karaoke host stole the basket with the wedding money. I hope that guy has bad karaoke karma....

Chad, who is now 21 was obsessed by cars even as a 1 year old. Jonathan and Quin were just newborns and Peggy announced that she was preggers with Kyle at the post-wedding brunch. She was so thoughtful and considerate of not stealing the spotlight!

We were younger, thinner with big hair. We are older, heavier with less hair - well not me or Paula...or Rich. But we are mostly together 20 years later! Well done Jedi!

This post is dedicated to those no longer with us: Bobbi, Lee, Madalyn, John and Uncle Wally. You are forever in our hearts.

It is what it is...
Namaste
